  • I'd got my eye on a Mountfield SE 350 scarifyer at £79.98 yesterday but today with the 20% offer it's £89.98, which works out to £71.89.

    A 10% DISCOUNT

    Maybe it was on offer at £79.98 & that offer finished yesterday, so it went back up to full price today.

    B&Q just phoned to say my order has been picked and is ready for collection. The light bulbs I added to make the order up to £50 aren't in stock but I can pick up something else in the store before going to the till to pay.

    No offer, just a plain and simple price increase

    I wonder, illegal prices' probably not but certainly immoral.

    20% discount on everything sounds better than 10%, even though they amount to the same.
    Why stop at 20, go on make it 50% next time but don't forget to re-price at the right time.
    Cynical? no not me
