Has anyone else noticed the increasing price gap between the sheds like Wickes and B&Q compared to Screwfix & Toolstation?
The online guys have always been cheaper, but the gap seems to be getting bigger.
A few things I've looked at in the last week or so;
8 x 100 hammer fixings - £8 approx for 20 in sheds, £7.50 for 100 online.
London shelf brackets £1.09 in Wickes, 58p from Screwfix.
16w DD lamps £5.99 in B&Q, £1.70 from TLC.
Flexible tap connectors 95p from Toolstation, £4.11 in Wickes.
Not complaining because I buy online & charge out at Wickes prices, so my margin is getting better.
Don't mind paying a little more for retail shopping, but when stuff is 4 times the price its worth shopping around.
