Title: billy bargain
Post by: Guy on 04 August 2009, 14:33
ok... so i admit it... i was in halfords yesterday!

but... i did manage to get the bargain of the century, well, it was pretty damn cheap

i went in for a wire brush... which was price up at £2... so i got that...

then I saw an underbody karcher lance which was priced up at £35...

it's this one (i couldn't find it on the halfords site)
http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=120833 (http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=120833)

 it had a 'blade' jet which makes cleaning door shuts etc more precise... I made a purchasing decision as I wanted one and took it to the till...

the lass behind the till asked me for £6.99... I thought she said £60 something so I said pardon, she said £6.99.. so I said... "oh, in which case I'll pay cash"... took the goods and legged it!  :laugh:

so... it leaves me thinking that you too might be able to pick this up cheep  :wink: ... she scanned and that was the price that appeared

I was right next door to Halfords yesterday, think I might have to take another little trip back  :wink:

If I get to the till and get charged £35 it's your fault Guy  :grin:
