    I once went out to buy the full works for a kitchen including hob, oven, dishwasher, Frdige/Freezer, microwave and washing machine ... my golden rule is to check all the prices on the way out and on the way home I buy. I had ben to Currys and Laser to get prices and then called in to Sams yer Man .. what a waste of time. The salesman would not even give me a starting price, not to worry a chance to negotiate .. he just kept asking what my best deal was then telling me he could beat it but refused to give me a price.

    After that I went to Hanna & Browne (Newtownards) who came up with a good deal and got my business (and I have been a customer of theirs ever since .. so it is great to hear they may be coming to Bloomfields)

    Not sure what you mean, but I am happy I got a bargain and saved myself £70 over my previous quote. Guess it all depends on what you are looking for.

    I bought a 37" lcd from them in january, they beat curry's prices, the sales guy took the time to show me the different sizes, lcd v plasma and didn't push me towards any particular model. Comes with a 3 year warranty at no extra cost. The glass stand shattered about an hour after i built it and they replaced it no problem. I've recommended them to a few people.

    Out of interest did you enquire why? Just wondering if whoever maintains their website is slow to change prices or if there is a genuine price difference?
  • No i didnt ask because i was in the shop before i seen the post about the website but in last sundays paper they were advertising this same fridge at £549.99 which is a good price which is why i went in!! However DD is wanting a nintendo Wii for xmas so have to put fridge off for a few months,lol.

  • just bought sharp 42" lcd at sams yer man
    checked price on web which was beating all
    could not wait so went into belfast shop where they matched internet price and was able to buy extra 4 year guarantee for £100
    this is easily half the price of currys / laser

    fantastic:beer:
  • Seems to be a few people recently who enjoy eating out in Bangor :rotfl:
