3pk Remote Control Sockets £5

ASDA are doing a 3pack of remote control sockets reduced from £15 down to £5. My local store had about 20 of them on the shelf, hopefully all stores will have them.
Ideal to turn those items off at the mains with hard to reach sockets. They work a treat and will save you money as there will be no excuse for not turning things off at the mains :)
I can't find them online to post a link though :(

    None left in Folkestone, not been for a week. Offer was on last week although price not changed still £15 on the shelf. Had to get them price checked. But they are an excellent bit of kit!

    Yeah me too. Plus the TV hides the socket so mine is on there too. Now if I could just stop the OH from using every light in the house at once ;)

  • I checked Asda this week but sadly an empty space on the shelf. Tesco have a set of two for either £6.99 or £7.99 can't remember which.
  • After posting the above I decided to check Asda, Chesser in Edinburgh, again and found the shelf had been restocked so now able to tackle the mass of Christmas lights and switch them off and on remotely.

    I already have a similar set (cost £18 so this is a good buy) on the pc and the tv and games consoles especially useful when the sockets are behind the equipment and hard to reach.

    The Asda set is in a blue box called Status and are situated beside adaptors, plugs, chargers etc.

    We have had these for years, have them on kids tv's and once we go to bed at night can turn them all off from our room, very handy as we have a 3 storey house and saves us having to go from room to room lol
