Too true. We haven't bothered to renew our membership card this year. Got pretty much everything anyway.

They've always been like that.

We're not blessed with independents, so like them for the pop-in convenience for little stuff.

For big-ticket items, you play them at their own game. You wait for a sale discount, or use price match.

Getting a £1000 tent for £630 was worth more than a few fivers on the card for us.

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

Nothing is ever sold at the recommended retail price so if you think you are getting a bargain because you bought something for less than the RRP, you are not.

If a company can sell you something 'cheap' and still make a profit then it is worth less than what you paid for it.

A bargain still costs money.

If the item is a fiver, I don't care if it's £4.99 20 miles away.

If it's a grand, I research the market first, however the price tag is described.

Anyone handing over money on a big ticket item without doing so shouldn't be allowed out.
