    Maybe local pound shops would be less expensive ? I tend to get things that are expensive and used frequently when theyre on special offer BOGOF etc

    sorry cant offer any more help but good luck searching out a bargain x

  • Ebay is your best bet, always factor in the postage cost and it's worth asking sellers if they will reduce postage cost and send by ordinary mail rather than recorded if you re prepared to take the gamble. Another good tip is where a selller will increases the quantities for a lesser unit postage charge. You shoud be able to get the blades for around 80p each all in, or less if you're lucky..
    try this link to start (It's not me and I'm not plugging) or do an advanced search where you can exclude words like "turbo" and "power"

    I buy them from the local market, I think I paid £3.00 for 6 blades.

    I get them in Boots when they're on special offer. Works out a LOT cheaper.

    This is the secret message.
  • If you know anyone who's a Costco member they are £15 for 20 blades normally but there is a deal on until tomorrow (with the Costco passport) reducing them to £10.

    Hope this helps :)

    That was what I was told when I worked in a supermarket and that was about 4 years ago also that was why they had a security camera pointed on the razor blades. And most shops tag the more expensive blades nowadays.

    We where told they where sold at car boots. I suppose e-bay has replace that.
