Lets hear it for the B&Q £2 screw bag
 

I needed some little screws, and in B&Q they cost £1.60 for 25. But they sell loose screws, and you can fill the smallest size of ziplock bag they do for £2. So as well as my 25 little screws (which I got the nicer ones, not the cheapies) I got another 25 the same, about 50 slightly bigger ones, 10 mahoosive ones that are usually £2 for a bag of 4, and then some random chipboard and drywall screws just because there was still room in the bag. I reckon if I'd bought that lot in individual bags it'd have been about £25!

That is all. Little screw bag, I salute you. Now I'm off so split some wood.

Never noticed that before. Must look out for it in future. Do they have machined screws? Or S/S?

Oh man I love these, I know what you mean. Its the B&Q equivalent of the 'eat as much pizza as you can' sessions on a Monday night at Pizza Hut!

You should have seen the seams bulging on the bag of screws I took to the till :-)

Are you really that desperate for a screw?

A couple of years ago I bought a job lot from Screwfix. Every M size bolt,washer,nuts of all types, and trade packs of wood, metal screws of all types.The huge package weighed about 20 kilo, will last me forever, and cost about £40.(However, when I needed a brass screw for the floor the other week, I had to go to B+Q and buy one of those rip off bags..)

Hmm, not that I noticed, but that's not to say they're not there.

I was sorting out my screw, bolt and nail box (well it's now 2 stackable crates and 4 cases, but who's counting :D) the night before last. I came across 4 packs of 25 wood screws that were normally ?2.50, down to 32p each in Focus as they were end of line. Bit of an odd size/length combination, but in my view that means one day they'll be just right for some job I'm having difficulty fitting a normal screw to. My all time best screw-buy was a tube with 4 compartments filled with 4 different lengths of wood screw from lidl. 450 screws for about ?4. The quality of them is great too (none have cheesed off/broken) and the ones on things outside don't seem to weather at all. From Lidls no less!
