Chicken shack Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I don't know what others think but this years offers are quite dismal. Omlet are not giving much away. Sorry Omlet but I am disapointed. Last year everyone was quite excited and there was real bargains to be had and there was discusions on here about what might be on offer next. Perhaps Omlet are saving the best offers till last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammiboo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I agree, last year persuaded my OH to buy me a cube with their £100 off! It's all a bit pants and nothing of interest TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm afraid I'd have to agree - it's not worth looking at the offers this year. Last year they did "12 days of Christmas" so there were fewer offers, but largely they were for useful stuff ,mostly chicken related and generally really good offers ... this morning's offering however, was a thing to make patterns in your toast I rather think Omlet are simply trying to get rid of their overstocks of "mistakes"? Be interesting to know how much they've sold!? Sorry Omlet, but very disappointed here too ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramble Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Omlet also said they weren't going to email us everyday to remind us about the day's offer, but I'm getting daily emails ... I wonder if that's because "Ooops, word censored!"ody is bothering to look at the rather underwhelming offers Edited December 14, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I bought maybe the first offer? When I bought a few bits and bobs as little pressies, I got my youngest cousin the guiness book of records egg challenge set for something like £4, which was fine, as it meant I felt like I'd got free postage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 With the economy the way it is, businesses are as strapped as we are; so, my reasoning is,even if I don't take up the offer, its nice that they are still offering something - they're not obliged to offer anything. Wish my utility company would offer something in the Christmas Spirit ... maybe a day of free heating!? The offerings may feel like chicken feed (pun intended) but at least something is better than nothing in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Missed opportunity IMO. Omlet have hiked up the prices this year and are offering items that can be purchased in most pound shops at a fraction of the price.

Completely agree that it's not obligatory to have a Christmas promotion, but if they do decide to do it, I think they should make it worthwhile to maximise the PR opportunity, as other's have said? Day 14 doesn't seem to work, but I don't think I'll worry about it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I can't see Day 14 either Nice of them to offer something ... not that I've been tempted to get anything yet! Hopefully will have a January sale with some better items like last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
