A discontinued model from Crucial, but about the cheapest I've seen for a new, brand-name 256GB SSD after the recent price increases. An end-of-line offer, in-store only I think. They also had a few 512GB MX100s earlier in the day for < £100 but they all went - other Office Outlet's (used to be Staples) might have them.
Edit: The store is no longer Staples - it's been renamed as "Office Outlet"
and as of 2017-03-02 12:55 the SSDs are still there.

Bit odd that the OP found these in store in a Staples, considering the stores aren't called Staples any more :/

I must admit that I didn't notice that the store wasn't Staples anymore - apparently they've sold all their retail outlets and are online only. Anyway, the SSDs are/were in the store that *used* to be Staples in the Greenbridge Retail Park in Swindon.

decent if you can find them
sadly prices on nand and dropping pound mean the same drive that was 60 a year ago (like Samsung 850 evo 250GB) is now 90

None locally, although they did have UPS and a few other things on clearance.

The Staples brand or the uk stores were sold last year and the owner of HMV bought them and rebranded them as Office Outlet.
