One of the reasons they’re so cheap is they don’t cross-subsidise a delivery service. The likes of Asda and Tesco can’t really get your groceries to you for £2.50. The slightly higher price of the groceries themselves makes up the difference.

Don’t you hate it when that happens?

You’re minding your own business, walking down a busy High Street/mall/shopping centre, it starts raining so you pop into the nearest shop to keep dry, trip over the entrance mat on the way in, and a watch gets lodged onto your wrist - no amount of liquid soap will dislodge it, and to save further embarrassment/the police being called, you agree to pay for it.

or something along those lines…

Ive not bought another watch/battery since the battery went down in my Casio analogue/digital. Mobile just does the job.

Car insurance, over £100 less than last year so looks like the prices are coming down.

I have to do mine soon and need to remember to go through Topcashback and get another £35 off.

The £100 was before top cashback. With the cashback it worked out at £98 for the year.

I stopped buying this, and it's cheaper clones years ago after an industrial chemist told me about the active ingredient, Sodium Percarbonate, and how to buy it online and use it.

Haircut, beard trim,nose and ear wax

Worrying times now, it takes longer to wax the nose and ears than it does for the haircut . And there’s more removed too
