Debs, what is the savings card you are talking about?

TIA

IT doesn't make the oil any cheaper or save you money but if you're like me and a hopeless saver......all good intentions of putting money aside for things then dip into it for other things...the savings card is good. True enough i you could keep the money in the bank and earn interest that would be ideal...unfortunately I can't.
St Vincent de Paul have a card that you stick £5 stamps into - I think each card holds about £200 worth of stamps - you can have as many as you need. On the back of the card there is a list of oil suppliers that accept the stamps as payment. Check out if it's available in your area. Buy the £5 stamps when you can afford to and just put them away....then you can't spend that money !!!

Where abouts are you? I'm seeing 534 online but hayes would only go to 541 (I must have ordered 5 or 6 times from them in the last few years).

Boilerjuice has it's buying weekend this weekend - anyone any experience (does buying weekend bring much discount & who are their 3 suppliers in Belfast)?

Just outside Ballymena. The local supplier we just use as a bench mark to see if the price is going up or down, we check prices online and order that way when necessary.

I hadn't realised the coal had gone up already :-(

Last bags I bought a few weeks ago were £10.85 for 50kg - today they are £13.80 :-(((( thank God I have free wood !!!
