To think Wilkos are taking the pee?

[TulipsInbloom1]

Saw some lovely throw blankets in there for the house. One burgundy and one mustard. Both identical aside from colour, neither marked as being reduced etc.

Burgundy- £8.
Mustard - £25!!!!!

Taking complete advantage of the mustard craze. Like I say no markdowns, no "this season/last season". Would totally understand in that case, or if the difference was only a couple of pounds. But more than triple?!?!?

[DustyMaiden]

Yes, I bought a grey toaster. Twice the price of the other colours.

[torthecatlady]

Asda and dunelm have mustard (ochre) blankets for about £5/6

[Bombardier25966]

The burgundy one is old stock, you'd have paid £25 for it a year ago. The mustard one is new stock.

Not taking the pee. Supply and demand.

[DontCallMeCharlotte]

You'd have to pay me to have something mustard coloured in my house (possibly a throwback to a hideous mustard coloured kitchen I had to endure in my childhood home).

[Bombardier25966]

Going to nip to my local and see if they've got the blue or burgundy in stock. Bargain!

[torthecatlady]

Asda

[ExplodedPeach]

I can't see the issue to be honest. A retailer sells a thing that people want at a price they are willing to pay. One colour is more expensive than another because it's more trendy at the moment. Shocker.

[TulipsInbloom1]

The burgundy is definitely not old stock. Both have exact same wrappings on etc.

[halfwitpicker]

Pee? It's piss isn't it

[MRex]

Burgundy is nicer than mustard. Just choose if you want to spend more or have a different colour. They're a retail outlet, you don't have to shop there.

[Racecardriver]

Retailer sets its own prices. I don’t see how it’s piss taking.

@Don'tcallmeCharlotte

Haha, 1970s kitchen per chance ? I too remember

We had white with these mustard type circles on it . The decade taste forgot .

[BarbaraofSevillle]

Is mustard this year's 'in' colour?

Maybe mustard coloured dye is very very expensive compared to burgundy .

[MacarenaFerreiro]

Bloody hell, that's outrageous! Fuming on your behalf! Anyone would think they're trying to make a profit or something, how very dare they??? Everyone KNOWS that retailers are making huge profits left, right and centre and can most definitely afford to give away stuff cheaply. Ridiculous.

[Valkyries]

mustard is shit anyway, burgundy much better!

[TheBitterBoy]

Same reason the black and navy jumpers are never in the Boden sale but the green one with pink and orange spots always is

[Dontsweatthelittlestuff]

I know the throws you are looking at. The chunky knit Pom Pom and the burgundy and tael are £4 not £8 as they are discontinued items so the last of the stock is reduced. The mustard is not going to be discontinued so no reduction.

[pippistrelle]

Mustard-lovers are asking for it. It's instant karma.

[Notso]

Burgundy and mustard, are you in Griffindor OP?

[Bombardier25966]

None left in my local.

And the staff confirmed they're old stock and the new colours (including mustard!) are replacing them.

[QueenOfTheCroneAge]

I love mustard as a colour! I have mustard shoes. I remember the 1970s as predominantly orange and brown.

[Craft1905]

Taking complete advantage of the mustard craze.

How dare they!!! A shop....selling fashionable/desirable stuff for a higher price than unfashionable/less desirable stuff. How do they sleep nights?

If this is allowed to continue, it won't be long before a house in Kensington will cost more that a similar house in Grimsby.

[Dontsweatthelittlestuff]

Wilkos sell their ultra soft mustard throw for a fiver which is the same as the other colours in the range.

Wilkos don’t always mark stuff that is reduced or move it to a reduced area. The price ticket is changed and you might see a yellow line through the code on the shelf. Wilkos always has clearance items and space is limited.

[MinecraftHolmes]

Burgundy is a winter colour, yellow is a spring colour - shops are getting rid of winter stuff and getting spring/summer ranges in.
