I've had the reverse experience - the price in the catalog has been more than in the shop, which has been more than the price that they've asked me to pay at the till.

You know why its expensive??
Because Homebase are doing carp, and they gotta find the money to cover it. I knows these things

I think its because they had a good reputation for being cheap so people still go there and buy stuff without looking around.

Re: anyone found ARGOS expencive this year?
I thought that, in years gone by ppl just rely on ARGOS and know if they shop there the prices will be competitive, i think the £10 voucher if you spend over £100 is blinding people!
oooooh yea the camera i lost Casio Exilim z-100 £129.99 Argos - £90 ASDA! |

Re: anyone found ARGOS expencive this year?
Seriously its not. Argos own Homebase, and Homebase lost 500million last year!! They need to recoup money somewhere, so pass it onto customers unfortunately. They are just in process of getting rid of 300 showroom managers from Homebase....saving rather a lot of money.
