Not my favourite store.
Had to use them to buy 2 x 6" pendant sets t'other day. £3:79 each!!

*had to*?

Owain

Job 100 yards from Homobase, nearest alternative 4 miles away, 4:45 pm.

So no different from buying milk from a corner shop to a supermarket?

Entirely different. Homobase have the same or greater purchasing power
as TLC/Toolstation/Wilkinsons.

Tesco et al have much greater purchasing power than a corner shop.

4 pints of milk at Tesco used to be ~£1.30 until very recently until the
pressure from the German duo must have forced them to go down to £1 like
the rest...

I have a Tesco and an Asda at a similar distance from my house. Prices
at Tesco for standard box-shifting stuff, i.e. branded goods, are at
least 20% higher on average. Haven't set foot there in the last few
years and glad to see that everybody else has finally woken up to this too.
