Toolstation

I went to toolstation today to pick up a radiator and a few other items and the guy at the counter told me that they have free next delivery on all orders over 10quid if ordered before 5pm.

i was quite shocked as i travel a few miles to get to them.

i saw tap washers for 69p for 5 at toolstation, wickes had the same marking on the washers by the same company but in thier own packing for 1.19p for 4.

thats a difference.

hope this helps someone.

    A bargain is a bargain, no matter what it is you bought. Hopefully these washers would reflect other prices in the store, i.e., always being cheaper than stores such as Wickes etc.
    My suggestion and/or advice is my own and it is up to you if you follow it, please check the advice given before acting on it.

    I have just discovered a Tool Station, which has recently opened near me. Brilliant prices on most things. I feel that I am going to be a regular customer. Especially as Screwfix is many miles further away. They will send you a new catalogue regularly if you put your name on their list.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
