Don't think so but any of the deals we have are crap, better just to go into one of the stores and ask them for discount (most of them are running 15% this weekend).

Yep DGP is right. :sad:

I went last year to B&Q with me vouchers out of the courier to buy a new BBQ only to find it was cheaper to use the discount in-store as you cant use both.
The only time ive done well is when i moved and the redirection service sent me a 20% voucher from homebase. I saved quite a bit on paint etc :Very Happy

We usually get Homebase vouchers in the courier,but they are so expensive anyway it's not worth it.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I has the same problem. Just moved house and was buying alot of stuff £500+ .Had a discount voucher for 10% off, and the checout guy pulls out a 25% discount voucher he gets :Very Happy for family & friends(true gent). Said hes willing to use them for customers with a big spend. Also check vouched discount sites that offer online discount codes, theres always some around.

Yep, I agree with pickles. Go online and google vouchers for bbq etc. You will find better savings than in the rag

As previously posted, Bringme was a good staff discount site. I think they had stuff for Argos and Homebase too (they're the same group).

If you know someone who's over 60, take them along to B&Q with you on a Wednesday and get the Diamond Club discount card. 10% off most purchases every Wednesday. Only things that are excluded are the stuff that would usually be excluded with most other discount cards like Kitchens/Bathrooms stuff.
