Bargain!!!

Postby Kaz » 17 Sep 2014, 13:30

My kettle broke this morning, Mick had a fiddle at it but it was totally kaput :roll: Only two years old, a Morphy Richards I bought as a set with the toaster, so I wasn't happy!

Whilst I was in town today I thought I'd have a look in Wilko's, but the identical kettle in there was £40 and TBPH if they are only going to last two years I'm not happy paying that! Their own brand ones were the wrong shade of red - too tomatoey - so I thought I'd probably have to go down to the Quays to the Tefal and Pro Cook shops for a look. I decided I might as well go for a cuppa before that, so nipped into Sainsbury's for a newspaper to read and there on a sale shelf was a nice modern looking kettle in exactly the right shade of red! Marked down to £19.99 but when the cashier put it through the till it had gone down frther still, to £14.99! I used my Nectar points to pay £12.50 of it (you can only use points in blocks of £2.50) so only had to put £2.49 in cash towards it!!!! :D Bearing in mind it is only a small Sainsbury's with very few electricals it seemed almost fate! :geek: :lol: :lol: :D :D

Rather pleased! 8-) 8-) 8-)

Just looked in our Sainsburys at the kettle--love the colour :D
They have those smaller cast iron casserole dishes in ours at £15 instead of £30
only in Orange. I am tempted as the bigger one i bought is so heavy and really too
big for just two people :D

lissie :lol:

Great bargain! I love when you get to the till and it has been even further reduced. We only ever buy cheap kettles because even the expensive ones never seem to last too long.
