Actually, supermarkets are not cheaper - not for the household goods and
food we buy. I did a very careful analysis, and we easily cover the cost
of membership, fuel and more.

We buy large packs of loo rolls, tissues, kitchen rolls (but not blue
rool, Nisbets are cheaper). Plus catering packs of meat (mince, chicken,
bacon, etc.) which we split up and freeze. Then there is the cat food,
soup, Marmite, olive oil, etc.

I have to say that on our second visit we bought a load of storage
shelving...

Typical spend for us is £500-£600 a visit - perhaps five times a year.




It isn't just covering the cost of membership, the quality of the meat
is outstanding. We certainly do cover the cost of the membership (and
some) but then there is the convenience. We still have to do a regular
shopping run for fresh stuff but having stocked up on bulk items means
less to carry etc.

We've not used them for TVs etc but their prices look pretty good. Ditto
white goods.

I did buy a laser printer from them, the price was better than I could
find online etc.

Their batteries (AA, AAA etc) are good value and seem to have a good name.

Why is it doing it 'on the cheap' if all you want to do is change the
look of the kitchen with new doors?


Because it is probably cheaper than replacing the whole kitchen. Say 10
doors at the £90/door someone mentioned. Where can you get a complete
kitchen for £900 ?

I'd hope it would be cheaper than buying a complete new kitchen. But I
can't see the point in replacing the lot if it is just the doors that need
replacing. Doing something 'on the cheap' suggests a bodge.

It also wasn't clear if Jim was replacing all his doors or just some
damaged ones- there was mention of hinge repair etc. If you only need a
few doors to replace damaged ones but match the others, using the custom
door makers (even at the £90 /door some have mentioned) may well be
attractive.

When I came to update my home made kitchen by fitting hew doors, the sizes
had changed from Imperial to Metric. ;-) The doors and drawer fronts I got
from one of the sheds - IIRC B&Q - are still good as new, though, after
quite a few years.


I 'scratch built' a kitchen back in about 1982. I'm not sure it was cost
effective but it was certainly built to last. Since then I've either
bought units or, in the current one, had someone do it. Although I did
'rearrange' the kitchen in the current house shortly after we moved it.
It had an expensive kitchen which was ok and 'did' until we replaced it.
It must have been 20+ years old when it was removed and someone took it
to reuse. I think it was a Roseby. It was just a bit 'dated'.

Buy cheap/poor quality and you live to regret it. The kitchen we
replaced must have been 20 years old but it was still in good condition,
just 'dated'. Someone short on cash took it and reused it- I expect they
will get another decade plus out of it. It was a Roseby - I assume the
previous owners had fitted it. I swapped some of the units around when
we bought the house then we changed it about 8 years ago. The
replacement still looks new.

As for Jim's problem, there is a company that makes doors to order for
those trying to do things on the cheap and use old units.

ITYF it's not particularly "on the cheap"

I wasn't suggesting changing doors was cheap-

IKEA should be flogging doors separately so thats its
easy for those who want to update the appearance of their
kitchens as cheaply as possible to just replace the doors.

he should have bought a kitchen which would last.

He may have decided that with a 25
year warranty, those were likely to.

I've never had problems with those, but CPC seem to have dropped them in

Try these:

250ml vs 500g

https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p16873?table=no

(unless the P38 is twice as dense as water, I guess you will get roughly
twice as much of the wood filler in the tin)

Even the Ronseal branded one is probably cheaper per ml:

Having tried various sources - Maplin were the worst for
leakage, even unused ones! - I always get mine from
Poundland these days.

Kodak branded alkaline AA, six for a pound, long life and
never leak.

It's a no brainer, really.

The same cells are available from other pound shops but you
only get four whereas, at Poundland, you always get 4 + 2
free for the same price, so 16.66p per cell instead of 25p.

So what would you mount the hinges and drawer runers on ?

A face frame would be the usual way to deal with the doors. Drawer
runners can be either suspended from the cabinet top, or separate drawer
boxes can be fixed where required.

Kitchens are made up from standard units, little boxes if you will. This eases manufacture and installation.

Indeed - if you need to produce a standard product that will mostly fit
any location. If building a bespoke installation, then you can make it
fit exactly.

Depends on what you get... TS own branded filler is less than half the
price of P38 from Halfords.

A bit difficult to compare as TS sell their wood filler by weight -
whereas most body fillers are sold by volume.


At that price differential only the stupid wouldn't investigate.

A wood frame made for the purpose.

Steel frame welded from 12mm rhs in my case.

Vastly better than a series of particle board boxes stacked side by side.

Kitchens are made up from standard units, little boxes
if you will. This eases manufacture and installation.

But wastes rather more spade, wastes double or more the
space between them.

Which would be fine if room were made to standard units too.
