The Milton Keynes Money Savers Thread - Mark 2

The Garage in Wolverton (on the Old Wolverton Road) - very helpful and honest - told me that my brakes on my car didn't need doing for at least a year, when my car dealer told me that they "were in very poor condition and needed doing immediately"... lovely chaps down there... very reasonable on prices.

Someone's also mentioned B&T Tyres in Bletchley before

That is where I went to! been ringing round all day for tyre prices and they quoted the cheapest.

I've used Formula 1 Tyres in Bletchley in the past ,they offer to beat any price in MK
saved about £2 per tyre on B&T price so I always get them to quote last.

I will bear that in mind for next time.

Costco won't always be the cheapest but their tyres are branded tyres like Michelin etc and you probably won't find the exact tyre they do any cheaper elsewhere... But yes you can find rethreads and un-branded tyres cheaper elsewhere I tend to use a either a mobile tyre fitter that comes out to work or a Garage down in Waddeston (I'll dig out the details for those interested) Both do really good prices!

Does anyone know if we have an A&L in MK? and if so where is the branch?

Hope this helps not very good with directions.

Just got back from Asda - they've got some ski jackets reduced to silly money (I picked up two for 15-16 year olds, camo coloured for £7.50 each, reduced from £25) They're right in the entrance by the newspapers, don't know if they've got any at the George entrance as well.........

Also, packet of 6 x 500g bread making flour - Allinsons (white and teal colour box) - 78p!!! And frozen 'american style' toffee and raspberry cheesecakes (marked 3 for £3) £1 each.

yes they the cheapest and will price match but be careful with the .... oh your brakes need doing we can do them now or your tracking needs doing oh look its way off the mark we can do it now for you etc etc.. just go in get your tyres done and you will get a great price.
