    I went into my local MFI a couple of weeks ago as I wanted to buy some laminated flooring for my kitchen.They had put the price up so that they could reduce it for their sale.
    5 packs of flooring=£275
    Delivery =£20
    When the sales assistant asked if I needed help I said if she could give me 10% off the price and free delivery I would buy it.She said she would see what she could do for me.After pressing a few computer keys she came back with the price of £245,and as I was buying it with tesco deals I had to ask her to increase the price to £250.(Boy did that hurt!)
    I thought that as they had put up their prices before the sale they would be willing to do some kind of deal and I was very pleased with my deal.
    if i had known then what i know now
  • Go into ur local MFI, tell them u want to buy it at the old sale price else ur buy it else where. Managers have the discretion to allow this otherwise they would not sell anything during the non sale period. MFI find the none sale period an inconvenience but they have to do it in order to claim a sale period for the rest of the year.
    Cash ISA rate 6.5% fixed for 2 years. Mortgage rate 0.75% = 5.75% profit on £75K = £4500 per year:j
    Mortgages make money. Definitely don't wanabee mortgage free!
