ChrisIB Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I have just been looking for a small oil filled electric radiator. There are quite a few stores selling an identical item (and I do mean identical). It is a 'Crown' or badged. Here are the prices: Netto 14.99 Morrisons 19.99 T.J. Hughes 20.00 (reduced from 25.00) Wickes 27.99 B & Q 34.99 I could see a few quid difference but surely it is not just down to buying power?

pc-med Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Well, it pays to shop around that's for sure! Even better prices to be had if you can be bothered to do your shopping online. Saying that though, if it IS the same item everywhere, the Netto price seems pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkiepudd Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 If they really are 'identical' go to B&Q with proof - they will then sell you one for 10% cheaper than the lowest price you have, so on the £14.99 one, that would be £13.49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisIB Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Didn't know that but suspect they put their own brand on common things deliberately to stop having to pricematch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutts Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Didn't know that but suspect they put their own brand on common things deliberately to stop having to pricematch! I thought you said they were identical:loopy: Anyway, your suspicions are wrong, just do what has been suggested and save yourself some more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
