Kitchen - where to save and where to spend

We saved about £60 alone just on handles from a company called handle studio, super everything helps in this day and age.

A pretty pointless post. You can save £200 on a kitchen by changing the handles, or add an extra £500 on if you want. It's WHICH handles you chose that can affect the price...

How is that pointless? It's a completely valid and intelligent moneysaving point.

It's quite a simple decision and doesn't take up much time to source handles that you like from elsewhere if they work out cheaper than the ones you like that you're being quoted on. Handles are often overlookd but if you look at what they often add up to - it's a lot of money! Online handle companies can be miles cheaper for similar products.

The fact is with kitchens is that people see them as one item when in fact you are buying individual items of furniture, accessories etc. at individual prices. It's a great idea to take one of those items off the list and find it cheaper elsewhere to save money. Whether that be your appliances, your worktops, sink or indeed handles.

And you're supposed to be nice to newbies. Even if they do look suspiciously like spam.
