Just bought a Bosch PMF 180 and de-icer in B & Q and got a £5 gift card free. I'm not sure if it was because I spent over £60 or not.

B&Q are currently doing a gift card promotion.

Spend over £50 and get a £5 gift card
Spend over £100 and get a £15 gift card

The gift cards can only be used during January 09.

So far I've got 2 x £5 and 2 x £15 ones.

Free gift vouchers? You must be joking. The only products B&Q sell at the normal price are those in a "sale". All the other prices are doubled or more.

For example I bought a Dremel 565 accessory today. £9.95 from my local tool shop. £9.50 on Ebay. £22 at B&Q.

B & Q

It's a rip-off.

Homebase is worse again. There prices are ridiculus, staff haven't a clue even of the most basic stuff. web site contains nothing like whats in their store and sell the really crap DIY range. I see that they repackage brands. Bought a homebase brand push fit Equal Tee the other day, noticed it said JG on the side.

I would be more tempted to buy stuff if they sold it as the speedfit brand

Though suppose most of the DIY users wouldn't be aware anyway

Went in Boots yesterday and they had 50% off some items, but the items that had 50% off were overpriced by 75% anyway.

Do they think the public are stupid?

Probably

B&Q are horrid on prices, shower curtain rail...£37!!
Wickes wanted £9.74 for a similar thing...but the local branch is on the edge of the ghetto (think boarded up windows, abandoned cars etc)
Went into homebase for a look since was in the area...pleasant surprise...staff were polite, helpful and I found a no cut telescopic L shaped rail for £12, figured it would save a LOT of cursing and swearing and cutting of tubing etc.
