B and Q prices go up

[bqmoley]

Hi All

Just a quick note to advise you all that after dropping the Vat, B&Q have now rather cheekily increased prices to cover the cost of dropping the vat in the first place.

So in effect instead of saving 2.5% on DIY items, you are actually paying more for them...


Which rather makes a mockery of the silly price promise in B&Q stores, unless your looking for cheep tat go to wickes....

2.5% reducement in the VAT rate was effectively a 2.1% reducement in total price, not 2.5%

And prices are going up everywhere. New Year - New Prices

Quite, but since most of the rubbish they sell comes from China makes it all rather wearing...

B&Q prices are just stupid, I stopped using them 18 months ago.
