does anyone know where to get a 'plug-in' watt-meter similar to http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=38343&1&source=14&doy=7m6
(but cheaper :p ) they have had this on sale for £12.50 and £10 before.. so hopefully they can be found cheaper (than £25)?

    LIDL had a similar item on sale last week for £4.99, so it might be worth a look if you've a store nearby

    I bought 2 from Lidl & was about to put them on Ebay but if you would like one i'll sell them at cost plus postage cost to any member of MSE.

    I spent over 2 hours searching the web for something like this last night, but could only find them on american sites, then i spot this and have ordered from maplins, I'm hoping to find out which appliance(s) are responsible for my £60 a month electric bill.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Still in stock, £10.24 including P+P but when you ask for catalogue they give you a £5 off voucher for purchases over £20 so I am going to see if there is anything else I fancy that will bring it up to that.
