Ok, first off, Im not trying to knock them, they do what they say on the Tin, delivery is good and free, or better still you reserve and pick up and pays your money.

They do seem to be knocking out 50% Sale Offers frequently lately, so we all like a bargain and when thats not on, you can use many of there discount codes, normally 25 or 30% off normal, but one thing I have noticed is your cant use promo codes during there (up to) 50% Sale periods, fair enough maybe.

I bought some stuff online yesterday, during their 50% Sale, and got some bargains, namely Wiper Blades at £1.50 each, normally 7 or 8 quid plus some other odds and sods, However, a couple of items I was looking at getting didn't seem to be that much cheaper, despite having a lower price tag during the Sale, so I passed.

Logged on this morning and checked the items I passed on yesterday, and low and behold there the same list price today as they was on a reduced price yesterday during the Sale. so I did my required min £10 spend (Promo Code requirement) entered Promo Code ****30 and got a further 30% Discount on check out. Something I couldn't do yesterday during the Sale.

So I off later to pick my 2 separate online orders a happier bunny, but the point I making here is dont get too keyboard happy during their Sale periods, do your homework.

Well you can if you get them from Poundland, as my Ex found out with a Scratched Windscreen come MOT time.

The wipers I bought from Eurocarparts for £1.40 each proved far better than the RAC branded wipers which cost almost £10 for the pair and were painfully noisy.

Did you spend more than your usual 99P?.......

[omega3000]

Did you spend more than your usual 99P?.......

Unfortunate yes  Those wipers you get from ecp mr opti , are they cheapo's or branded good ones 

[TheBoy]

I wonder if ECP are struggling? I don't think any of these sales produce better prices than normal, so in reality, the sale prices are the normal prices.

If you use this sort of retail tactic, you have to keep doing it (DFS/SCS style), else nobody will buy at non sale time (even though we know its the same price).

The ones I use are called Vistapro. I find them excellent. When not in the sale period they are usually about £8-£10 each.
