Chubby stick alert!!!!

Sainsburys got their Glamour magazine for August in today
I got my lipstick and they had all the offers in stock.

I called in to three places in Chesterfield today - not one chubby stick in sight.

I will try Sainsburys tomorrow and just keep an eye out over the next few weeks.

ooohhhh, thanks for that - will have a look at one or two magazine places

I have scoured Cheltenham and Gloucester today for these, in the end I ended up getting one with the mascara as that is still a good deal No Chubby Sticks to be found, even when the man in W H Smith kindly rummaged through their whole two boxes of the magazine in the storeroom! All mascaras and the skin cream Chubby Sticks are expensive, I bought a pack with three colours in Corfu airport last year and that was nearly £40 I tried everywhere I could think of, large stores and corner newsagents alike!

We are popping round to see D tonight, to discuss this flipping wedding in Cyprus, so I wonder if a detour to the huge Sainsbury's might be in order

I really fancy the Watermelon one, I already have the Strawberry as it was in that pack from last year

Thanks Lissie, wish me luck! xx

each colour now
Thanks for the tip, Di, as i needed a new lipstick.

You're welcome Lissie - it's been fun each time these good freebies have appeared
I enjoy giving away the spare mags too

[Kaz]

None of our Sainsbury's have any of the lipsticks! Nor the Tesco's, we've been all over this evening Actually I doubt they have been out on the shelves here at all, the sections with the mags in were all stuffed full, but only with the mascaras and face cream ones My theory is that whoever supplies the supermarkets here in Gloucester - the customer service lady in the giant Tesco said supermarkets have a supplier, they don't deal in the mags and newspapers directly themselves - is creaming off the Chubby Sticks, possibly selling them on

I have given up on the active search, if I pass a newsagents I will pop in, but I'm not chasing all over the area again

At least I still have the ones I bought in Corfu

[meriad]

I wouldn't be surprised Kaz - very disappointing for the end user though. I often find that the mags don't have anything in them - someone has come, opened up the pack and taken the freebie. And the newsagent can't do anything about it

[Kaz]

Stinks, doesn't it Ria

Kaz, the shop I used to manage had all newspapers and magazines supplied by WH Smith's wholesale division, they seemed to have a monopoly on news distribution around here back then.
Of course, it could be that they're reaching the shops but not making it onto the shopfloor - the shop staff might be having first dibs
