    possibly sour grapes on my part, although my skeptical side ponders, too good to be true prices are exactly that, too good to be true.

    I received two flyers both slightly different. A lot of the items in the flyers aren't ranged on the website so you can't see if the are available in your local outlet. A lot of the others weren't available.

    I was chatting to an area manager a few years ago and he mentioned this is a problem with friends and family of Screwfix staff getting a heads up of sale items before the public and buying up a lot of the best items. Apparently, one staff member used to have a nice side line buying up stuff in the sale with staff discount and then "car booting" on their days off
     
  6. Bargains are exactly that.

    Only a bargain if its something you want and get at a good price. Other than that its an advert.

    Sometimes, even if I don't have and immediate need, if its cheap enough I will get some and keep it in stock

    Should not happen these days. I understand staff are instructed NOT to take advantage of the sale offers. One or two, maybe for personal use, but that will be all.
