    Brilliant, they had the food processor I've been thinking about buying. I've just become a member and got the membership number straight away, really easy.
    Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

    Google the model number of anything like this. In their last booklet, it sounded like a bargain but when I googled the model number, it was cheaper n Currys lol. Have you noticed no dividend payment this time because they haven't made a profit. Disappointing but never mind eh.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Did google, it's still £35 cheaper than Currys and I could pick the delivery date.

  • Bought one of those soup makers last year and just love it. Mine cost more than that in a sale so thats a bargain price.

    Frankly Co-op need to do these discounts frequently just to shift the stock. Without the discounts they are so much above other retailers in terms of price it is embarrassing.

    That's absolutely the reverse of my experiences. I've found their prices highly competitive - and, equally importantly, they'll look after you in the event of a problem.

    I had problems with a breadmaker after the warranty had expired, and they dealt with the matter superbly. Far better than Amazon would have done - on a par with John Lewis, in fact.

    No Doc N, they do have the worst buyers in British retail and I would give the whole organisation a couple of years before it needs a merger with another retailer to survive. I do have a softspot for them though and as I was buying something electrical this week, checked out their prices. Unfortunately at £179.99 it was £10.99 over everyone elses standard, no-sale price. Good thing the members offers booklet arrived just when I was about to buy online!
    I do always check their prices and availability and I'd say 9 out of 10 times, their prices are above norm, sometimes ridiculously so.
