WITH Wilko on the brink of administration, bargain hunters are racing to clear the shelves as the high-street store slashes its prices by up to 50%.

From suitcases to home decor and even bargain buys for the garden, there are a whole host of items on offer in the Wilko's mega sale – and people have been eagerly showing off their bargain buys online.


Amongst them is one thrilled shopper named Abbey Woods, who took to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and shared a snap of the hugely discounted pillow she nabbed for just £3.20.

Alongside the image, she penned: "Ahead of Wilkos shutting down, I nipped into the Wigan store today and managed to get my hands on these cushions.

"They're 55cm x 55cm and only cost £3.20 in the sale."

Another delighted shopper named Alice Thomas posted an image of a kettle charcoal BBQ, which features an enamel coated steel grid, bakelite handle, warming rack and bottom storage mesh.

And the mega sale isn't the only Wilko-related news Fabulous has reported on over the last month.

Despite the thousands of staff in Wilko's 400 stores being in the firing line, we previously told how one worker is riled up over something else.

Taking to TikTok, Wilko sales assistant Georgia Breed complained that it's the annoying customers who prove to be the biggest gripe.
