Just bought myself a warehouse coat.
We also have a MachineMart which is just a little bit further away than ScrewFix.
Guess where I went?
I see no reason why the same coat should cost twice as much in ScrewFix.

And equally there is no reason why two shops should sell the same product f or the same price.

Just bought four pints of semi skimmed milk in ASDA for a quid. Local shop charges 49p for one pint.
"Within one hour, the button fell of, but nice fit."
Dave Plowman (News) put finger to keyboard:
ASDA charges 49p for one pint as well.
So did one of the f's
Would be a fair point, if it were not for the fact that it is the same bran ded product...
That's why farmers can't get a reasonable price for their milk...
I was looking at a 100 x 100mm Fence Post Spike. SF only sell a pack of
2 - I only want 1. £25 a pack.Toolsatan do singles at less than £9.
There must be vast over production of milk if the supermarkets can dictate the price.
No, just an effective monopoly on the supply chain.

SC are selling fewer single items - everything is in a multipack. Attempting to push us into buying from B&Q. Sod 'em.
I also found the service a lot better in Toolstation, Screwfix were unhelpful, not very friendly and the information about stock at my local branch was incorrect online.
Apart from my local Screwfix (1) does everyone else have a Toolstation next door to Screwfix?
(1) actually the 2nd nearest but the fastest to get to.
here they are close, but actually the other side of the river.
Unfortunately not. Axminster is almost next door. TS is around 14 miles.
Within 200 yards, and you have to go past the Toolstation and Travis Perkins clearance warehouse to get to screwfix.
It's their deliberate policy.
Alas I don't have a local Toolsatan.
They seem to be opening branches inside Wickes stores;

3rd April 2013 Nuneaton Toolstation - inside WickesOn Monday 8th April Toolstation opens a second branch inside a Wickes Extra - this time in Nuneaton. Very prominent on Weddington Road, the new sales counter is conveniently situated close to other trade suppliers. Get full address and driving details on our branch-locator page.

Surely that will kill off a lot of Wickes sales?
