Administrator details ‘Biggest Ever Sale’; could High Street be heading for Xmas price war?
Woolworths administrator Deloitte has told MCV that the retailer will launch its ‘Biggest Ever Sale’ tomorrow – with discounts of up to 50% on all goods.
Deloitte said in a statement:
‘We anticipate increased footfall in the stores and have hired additional staff to cope with increased demand. Additional goods have been moved to all stores and further stock will be added in the coming days.
‘There is continuing interest in the core Woolworths business and the Sale will continue whilst potential buyers finalise their plans for the purchase of the business.’
Highlights of the Sale will include up to 50 per cent off Toys, 30 per cent off Christmas trees and decorations, 50 per cent off all greeting cards, 20 per cent off personal gifts and reductions on all entertainment products.

How much?
No details of discounts on "pick & mix" though?
For shame!
Re: How much?
Actually sources say that "pick & mix" will contain extra bogeys and dirt from the ones that get put back in the jar! Bargin.
Re: How much?
No discount for Pick 'n' Mix - Theo's half-inched all that for his own private consumption... ;)
false adverts
Ha just been into 2 branches already most items upto 50% off BUT the entertainment section is only 10% off so very false on the adverts as posters & adds in papers say 50% off eveything instore some staff in there were getting some serious abuse off customers when they were explaining only 10% of games dvd's & cd's
