TWO sales experts have dished the dirt on what items are worth picking up in the Wilko's huge sale – and the ones to steer clear of.

The retailer has launched a giant sale with up to 50% off at all its 400 stores across the country. It comes amid hopes the chain can be saved, including 12,500 jobs, after crashing into administration.

Stationery

A-Level students fresh off the back of their results on Thursday may want to head down to their nearest Wilko branch to pick up stationery for the new academic year. The retailer has slashed prices by 30% on everything from pens to diaries.

Toys

Wilko has also reduced the price of its toys by up to 30% – and you could use it as a chance to stock up ahead of Christmas. The retailer sells everything from art sets to family games so there's a range of products to choose from.

Christmas decorations

Again, if you're looking to get ahead this year, you'll want to nab some Christmas decorations – Wilko has slashed prices by up to 50%. Usually discounts on festive items don't appear until close to the big day itself, or afterwards in the Boxing Day sales.

Garden and seasonal

Retailer's often reduce stock at the end of each season, so you might want to pick up some summer items in the Wilko sale now. It has slashed prices on a number of garden essentials by up to 30% as well.

What to avoid buying in the Wilko sale

Wilko stocks a huge range of goods – one of the reasons it hasn't lasted on the high street – but it might be worth avoiding branded items such as Nivea, Bic, Kelloggs and Tefal. Karen said: "Definitely see if you can get it cheaper elsewhere if it's a brand."
