Value for Money is the term used to assess whether or not an organisation has obtained the maximum benefit from the goods and services it acquires and/ or provides, within the resources available to it. It not only measures the cost of goods and services, but also takes account of the mix of quality, cost, resource use, fitness for purpose, timeliness and convenience to judge whether or not, when taken together, they constitute good value.

A great example of Cut and Paste.

Very nice laptop bargain if you are a UW customer (especially!). I have this laptop myself and it's excellent for the cash! A decent no-frills specification (3gb RAM and Athlon processor). Superb (acer) 15.6" widescreen screen. No good if you are a gamer, of course. BTW, it's an Acer in disguise (but not a very good disguise, lol). £299.99.

Use the 3% discount code on topcashback to get it down to £290. Go through topcashback for 3.5% cashback (another £10.50 off), then of course pay for it on your UW card and get a rather nice £14.55 off your UW bill. A 'net' £265 for UW customers. Plenty of bangs for one's buck!

Rumour of the day
Could Telecom Plus be a target for Carphone? FinnCap argues that, post-demerger next year, its TalkTalk unit may look to promote further growth from its residential base with products such as gas and electricity. Telecom Plus would be the only suitable platform if TalkTalk looks to acquire over the next couple of years. Telecom Plus slipped 8p to 304½p.

I thought this was a special area for the discussion of Utility Warehouse (Telecom Plus). Not electrical bargains.:rotfl:

:rotfl: It certainly IS a discussion area for UW. My post was entirely relevant, positive and helpful (beats yours on 3 counts here) to UW customers who I'm assuming read this thread. If they are after a laptop, what's the problem with pointing out a decent bargain for anyone, made much better of course by using the UW card?

I thought i read somewhre that Charles wouldnt sell the business.
If it happens i wonder if they would still sell via the the MLM route.
I recall that Carphone considered MLM some time ago but they discounted the idea.

And your point is ??? :rolleyes:

Yet another useless post from you. Over 150 in this thread in less than two weeks, is this part of your initiation into the cult?
