I was seriously cheesed off after loading 40 onto a trolley before
noticing the price at B&Q Bridgend
I just left the trolley, drove to Culverhouse Cross and saved £16


Is Culverhouse Cross one of the B&Q Warehouse stores? I've noticed
their prices do seem lower than the ordinary B&Q stores. No
surprises at the Jewsons price - why does anyone buy from them?


Who said anything about paying list?


So what sort of discount can you get from Jewsons? In the above example it
should be 51% approx to equal B&Q's best.

If they are in the habit of marking up stuff by 100% in order to offer a
'trade discount' of 50% then they are a bunch of cowboys living in the
distant past. The world don't work like that anymore.
