Not gonna lie, I wouldn’t pay that much now, never mind in a 2008 closing down sale.
My mum worked in Woolworths and I (a child at the time) got to go and help clear the stockrooms of her store when it shut down. Still have lots of Woolworths merch somewhere in the loft, maybe one day it’ll be worth something!
We bought several kilo of pick-and-mix that sad day.
TIL Peppa Pig is way older than I thought. For some reason I thought it was like a 2014 creation
If you miss the 80’s 90’s British high street come over to Germany,
Woolworths is still operating here in (and selling the same cheap shit, including toy guns for kids (I suspect you can’t buy those in the UK any more?)).
Also alive and well in Germany: C&A & red squirrels

Woolworths was so overpriced
And paid with actual money.
Wow I’ve been living in the UK for a loooong time now. Never thought I would. I remember renting dvds at blockbuster and buying pick n mix at woolworths. My tv was small with a long antenna sticking out, and my dvd player was pink. Life was simple.
It’s casual UK but I was born and raised in Ireland where every town had a Woolworths. RIP indeed.
I miss Woolies, fond memories of buying Lego Castle sets with my pocket money when they were only a couple of quid.
How old are you if you were a kid? I was 18 when it closed.
Been feeling nostalgia today and put on Field of Innocence by Evanescence really resonates with that feeling.
My last purchase from Woolworths was a Kaiser Chiefs CD and a box of weedkiller. They had a strange product range.
