Deals not what they seem to be...

Not having to recycle glass jars??

would make sense to say "bring your jar back for a half price refil"

I was looking for a reusable pod for my coffee machine......... 65 notes .... ill stick with the originals I think

Dolmar make the same saw so why bother.



This is contrary to a chap I worked with who's opinion was that anyone under 5' 8" should be shot at birth.

Now THAT is a BIG baby. I bet it would make someones eyes run.

check out kenco coffee in shopping centres
the "eco" bag refills are 150g for around £3.45
the glass jars are 200g for £4 making it cheaper per gram
so the reward for being eco is?

Being conned . .............AGAIN!!

You did well there, my contract with them for the same 20Gb is ending in January, and I started with that (Jan 2019) paying £10 a month for the same thing. I think it's had an inflation rise so it's an untidy price now. I wonder whether they'll do the same to me. I switched to it because on my previous Three mobile bb, I was paying £15 a month for 10Gb and happened to ask in the shop if there was anything better.

looking at exclusive customer offers don't think the old ones can be beaten

Anyone bought an 'Amazon backlog pallet'?
For £30 you are supposed to get a pallet of goods. Seems a bit too good to be true.

Having said all that, when I buy larger tools I usually have a good search around on the net for the best price on a particular model. I often end up buying from FFX. on price and service but you have to juggle their Ebay price that is usually a bit more expensive but often offering a discount and compare it to their shop price. I have not had a bad experience with them yet.

Aye. I buy a lot from ffx over a year. Il always shop around first though

I was very lucky with mine, when the Femi turned up they’d shipped a higher specification machine than than I’d ordered. Being the honest chap I am I emailed them pointing out the error and asking if they wished to swap it. Got a reply saying that their system couldn’t have shipped the wrong machine so nothing to swap!

I paid £89 for a DeWalt 18v strimmer from them.

Turned up with 2x 5ah batteries and charger. Result as I bought it naked.

Cheers, that's an interesting page. For £17 a month I can get unlimited data, which would be pretty good if the performance was any good. Unfortunately I have to balance the mi-fi box on the window to get a decent signal.

I would imagine that it is an offer from a Nigerian Prince!

Barnardo's charity shop here is selling a lot of Amazon stuff off, phone and laptop cases and tempered screens handy if you know what it is so you can use it. You can buy a bagful for £15 if you are a car booter to try your luck.

I'm probably wasting hours of my life but if I visit a new website I make a habit of rejecting cookies manually although my browser [Chrome] is set to do it.

It's amazing how many have screeds of Companies under "Partners" and "Legitimate Interests" . Once you click "Accept" on their first website page, all the dozens of Companies worldwide have instant access to your data.

Edit: As an example, I found one on a 'Legitimate interest' list - says the company stores their cookie for 3650 days [yes, 3650 - prob a typo but you agree to it none-the-less].....

Check out "cookie auto-delete" - its on FF so I presume an extension for Chrome too.
Just white list the ones you want to keep as you visit, rest are bye bye a minute after you have left the site - this way it does not break sites. - If you want you can see the huge list of all the ones zapped too

Looking for a place to stay for a couple of nights and you come across something described as a 'Villa' for £100+ a night.

Dig deeper and this is the accommodation

 

[bert]

Loads of places like that on air bnb and for more than £100 a night too

Oh there's all sorts on Air Bnb including a beach hut in Lyme Regis for £64 a night ... in the small print it states "not suitable for staying over night" You seem to be able to rent a beach hut off the council for £11 a day ...
Perhaps I should just clear my garage out and put a bed in there. Could make enough to rent a much bigger workshop

 

[dobbslc]

I'm in Lyme Regis now, I'll have a look out...

Lovely place, but everywhere is uphill

I have a relative who works for Thomas Lloyd furniture, they make suites and chairs for show houses that are reduced in size. He tells me that after a while you get to spot the other wheezes too, doors removed and the same colour carpet throughout. It all adds to the sense of space, albeit there isn't much.

There are probably dwarves on the payroll, to set the scene.

The providers doubled the prices where I live a few years back, can you just imagine how much they
must have been bent over laughing, they were obviously making a profit, but doubling the price more than
doubled their profit, because their expenses were already covered before the doubling, and here is the killer,
they doubled their profits by, are you all ready, Halving the previous GB they sold us, nice one, the sheep all slept
through it, no one kicked up a fuss.

Worthwhile keeping an eye open for new deals. I long since gave up any ties to any particular company, so hop from one ISP to another as suits me.
Currently I'm ok with Three, as I'm paying them €30 per month for 750GB, which I never get anywhere near to using.

Why not go for a cheaper tariff with less data then ? I'm on o2 paying £6.25 a month for 1GB, 1000 minutes and unlimited text. Last month I used 12 minutes and 84MB of data Can't get much cheaper though
