    Staples are doing a Rexel strip cut shredder for £9.99 (shelf price says 11.99).

    Got it and tried it yesterday. It can do 5 sheets of A4 at a time and has a bin capacity of 60 sheets.

    Works pretty well and a good make too. :)
  • Maplins now has a cross-cut shredder for only £14.99 - see http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=38069&TabID=1&source=3&doy=28m11. Not sure if this in an online-only price (if so then it's £2.50 for p&p for orders under £35) or if it's also available in their stores.
