    I too remember reading a positive review of the Woolies cross cut shredder a few months ago.

    Think I'll take the plunge with it myself this w/end.
  • The shredder that is currently reduced in price to £14.99 at Woolies was £29.99 and is the one recommended as a best buy by Which (level 3, cross cut shredder).

    The £15 WH Smith one is a Level 4 shredder. I think that means it can do credit cards as well.

    Level 4 is the highest anyway.
    Level 1 is the lowest and means "put whole pieces of paper in your dustbin"

    Woolies one can do credit cards as well.

    The Smiths ones is apparently not a "true" level 4 one anyway, more like level 3 (is to do with the size of the bits)

    Hey Spudgunner is it the cheaper one or the £30er that will do CC's?

    Thanks!

    Woolies also do a manual cross cut shredder - can handle ccards, Cds, etc. for £7.99

    It's smaller - easier to store - and has a see through bin. Ideal if you don't have much space and/or only a few items to shred. Gives you some exercise as well!!

    If you want one just for receipts then Poundland sell a mini one for £1 :)

    If you haven't got this yet, Lidl are doing one for £15 from the 6th.

    Saw the Ad for this-Looks quite good.

    I think it said £14.99, save £20!

    I'm also pretty sure it mentioned a slot for shredding credit cards.

    Just hope they actually get some stock in on 6th!

    I got this one from Argos a few weeks ago - its half price in the clearance sale so you'd have to see if you could find one in a store near you or not ...

    It takes 7 sheets at a time, credit cards, staples even paper clips , I think its great and the bin is quite big too.
