GREAT ‘CHEAPEST SHREDDER’ HUNT Last week’s tip included security hints & tipswhen using paying by plastic in bars & clubs, during the discussion the virtue of home shredding for security was rightly noted. For non-Edward Scissorhands out there, this week’s Hunt taps MoneySavers’ huge collective research power to search for the UK’s cheapest shredder.

We bought a Fellowes cross cut shredder from Argos (£39.89 cat no 883/0801) over a year ago and it works well.

Can I make a suggestion? Buy a spray can of lubricating oil for the blades, it will prolong the life of the shredder. I bought mine at a local stationers.

Also, if you are selective about how much paper you shread you will reduce the amount of paper going through the blades too.

For example, we shred everything with our name and address on it..........but we tear the tiny square with these details off the envelope/letter rather than putting the full item in the shredder.

We put the tear off pieces of paper inside an envelope and then put this envelope in the shredder.

Hope this helps.

on a security note, try going for a 'cross shredder' as the strip shredders are not very effective

Tesco one looks good

Safeway/Morrisons have a strip cut shredder with waste basket. 5 sheet capacity for 9.99
Not bad if there is not a tesco near oyu

I agree about the strip shredders not being very good for security.

If you want to make it difficult for anyone to put a document back together then get a cross cut shredder.

Also the shredded bits are not so bulky when cross cut.

Staples have a cross cut shredder for £17.99.

Tip: Never buy anything on line from Staples as the prices don't include VAT and are more expensive as well.

Example:
Really Useful Box 18ltr £6.99 in store
on line = £8.99 +vat + postage >:( >:(

I bought a hand shredder that can shred up to A4 for £1.99 in Quality Save. They had hundreds on the shelf.

Hope you can get one too.
