Another Howdens vs B&Q Thread (price matching)!!

basically am doing up my kitchen.

my builder has an account with Howdens (and get's "65%" off their RRP on cupboards & "60%" off their appliances).

anyway just a heads up not only do B&Q price match (and minus 10% of the difference) but Howdens also price match.

so last week i got a price for a kitchen from B&Q on their 20% off deal (and been told they'll honour it if i order this week - doesn't really matter as they have the 20% off again this weekend) total including all appliances was £2536 (£3170 pre discount).

took the designs to Howdens to copy it exactly, their price was £3397 all inc.

asked Howdens if they price match and yes they do, now considering i prefer the cupboards from Howdens & the fact they're pre-built, looks like i'll be going with Howdens.

I ended up buying the appliances last week from B&Q cos i couldn't get anywhere near their prices (with 20% discount) with the usual places, I got Hotpoint built in Oven & Gas Hob - £253, curved glass extractor fan - £80, Indesit Stainless Steel Fridge Freezer & Indesit Silver effect Washing Machine - £566.40 (don't forget quidco too!!) so about £900 for all that minus quidco.

so all in all after they price match i'll be looking @ £1200ish for all the kitchen cupboards & worktops (H/L cupboards - 1 x corner, 1 x 300mm, 1 x 500mm & 2 x 600mm. L/L cupboards - 1 x oven housing, 2 x corner, 1 x pan drawers).

so looking @ £2100ish for everything, minus tiles & fitting (which will be a bit cheaper as they're pre-built)

note - i don't work for either of them, as i say just a heads up really, for either Howdens price matching or B&Q (with additional 10% discount!) price matching, don't settle for your 2nd choice just because one is slightly cheaper, get it price matched! lol
