Something for nothing
There was a voucher for a free lunchbox in the last Screwfix mailing. Fortunately, when I was in there buying some bits and bobs over the weekend, the local branch had run out so gave me a rather nice pair of safety specs instead (and far more use than a lunch box).
In an idle moment, I typed "dewalt lunch box" into Google and found this four-page thread on hotdeals.com where folks who'd previously never heard of Screwfix moan about their inability to get a freebie and those who've been lucky enough to get one moan that it doesn't come up to their expectations of something that cost nowt: http://www.hotukdeals.com/freebies/f...90202#comments Mind you, some folks have been cleaning up on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161416088276 And some poor soul was even prepared to pay for the voucher: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231326216847 I wonder how much good Screwfix derived from it all. |
