B&Q curtains

Today I bought 3 sets of ready made lined curtains from B&Q at a price of £92

when I got back I looked on here and there is a token that you can print off for B&Q valid from 12-16 November giving 15% off...would it be very wrong to take them back (not opened them yet) and say they're the wrong type...then go back next day with my token and buy them again? :o

    How much will the three return journeys have cost you by then in fuel/bus fares/time? For the sake of saving just over a tenner I wouldn't bother.

    its about a mile away...takes less than 5 minutes in my car...next to the supermarket I shop in :)
  • A tenner is a tenner. If its close and convenient, do it. I would.
  • I don`t shop at B&Q that often so not sure how cunning they are, but could this be a case that you`ll go back to buy them and find the price has mysteriously risen by a few quid there fore really negating the saving of the discount voucher?
