As a matter of fact it WAS!!

Cheaper per filament and P&P combined? Then yes, I'm interested.

You know, you really ought to put together "Curry_Queen's World Famous Hit List of WWW Shopping Sites"

Well I have done a lot of research into the cheapest options available online over the years

I've used BLT previously, but now use this company as I find them slightly cheaper, but then I normally order in bulk (c. £30-£40 a time) so not sure how they would compare in single bulbs/small orders. I've found them to be very reliable though, and orders usually arrive within 24hrs (I get very impatient with anything longer than this these days )

Thanks. I've bookmarked them. I'll have a browse when my phone line is back in one piece

I'm a car owner who would love to have someone to rootle around the shops with. Spotting a great bargain is not the same without sharing it with someone.

Oh! I wish I lived nearer to you. I really miss my best shopping friend since we moved, and I have a blue badge which makes parking easy.

I went to Bridlington a while ago and discovered the Yorkshire Trading Company. They were great, a bit like Woolworths but with Practical Adult clothes (like coats, walking trousers etc.) all at good prices.

Unfortunatly/fortunatly :rolleyes: they were just closing as I got in and I didn't get chance to have a proper rumage . I bought loads of seeds though and want to go back for a proper look. I guess they have other branches across Yorkshire but I don't know where?

Jarrolds in Norwich (by the Market, can't miss it) - their kitchenware sales are SUPERB!!!!!!!!!! They sell really good brands like Viners, Judge, Stellar, Meyer, with lifetime guarantees, you know the sort...and when they have a sale it's not a measly 10%, but generally 50% off, sometimes more, and you KNOW you're getting a bargain! My brother bought a fantastic lidded frying pan down from £90 to £30!!!!!!!!! I would have had one, but I was coming home by coach, and already had a half price Judge stainless steel steamer in my bag!..actually, I COULD have made room for the pan and I'm KICKING myself now! Small appliances sometimes, too, and crockery, cutlery etc....

I'm so jealous of my brother still living in Norwich! he and I are both kitchenware gourmets!!
