Default Homebase 10% off

Saw an add on telly last night ... 10% off everything at homebase this weekend ...

Great you might say ....

No, not for me ...

I spent ?86.94 there on Thursday .... FFS ... that's nearly a tenner I could still have had in my pocket!!

Irritating or what ... anyone else ever down anything similar? i.e. buy stuff at full price and the very next day (or so) it gets discounted??

Here, one of the things I bought at Homebase was a new ball-c0ck thingy for one of my my bogs (they are not ball c0cks these days, but you know what I mean ) .... so this money quite literally went down the toilet!!!!

That's always the case though, isn't it? You never need anything when the sale is on!

Blue, take it all back tomorrow, saying there's something wrong with all of it. Demand a refund, in full.

When they give you your money back, thank them, and walk around the store, picking up everything you just returned. Then proceed to the checkout, and pay, claiming your 10% discount.

Job jobbed.

Thought about that ... but to be fair ... I'd struggle to get away with saying all 6-7? items needed returning!!

Its irritating none the less
