Praise: Amazon small items

Options
I needed a couple of different button cells and was expecting to have to pay way over the odds for them either by paying inflated supermarket prices for the actual battery of inflated p&p for delivery.

Sure enough the cheapest I could find was £1 per item, £2-3 each delivered (as neither of the cheapest suppliers sold both.)

I thought I'd just check Amazon and was delighted to find that I could get each one for 89p delivered! from 'marketplace' suppliers.

These are clearly companies that have got their acts together.

    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    I've bought bargain packs of batteries from £1 shops and have generally found them to be p1ss weak.

    Unfortunately there is a very good reason why they can sell 25 batteries for less than most shops sell 1. If they work at all they don't last 5 minutes.
