Beware of so called “Discounts”
Saturday, 12 Sep 2009 ~ Posted by Mook
This weekend, Comet are offering 20% off all Bosch, Neff and Siemens Major appliances.
So, you’d think there were some bargains to be had?
Lets take a look
BOSCH WAE24164 WASHING MACHINE
COMET – £399 + £25 DELIVERY AND INSTALL
J.J. LIGHTING - £369.99 INC DELIVERY INSTALLATION AND DISPOSAL
For just 3 days, Comet will give you 20% off their Price, bringing down to £359.94. Just £10 less than our regular price… and you’ll have to wait in all morning for it.
Lets look at a fridge freezer
BOSCH KGV33V00
COMET – £419.99 + £39.95 DELIVERY AND INSTALL
J.J. LIGHTING - £354.99 INC DELIVERY INSTALLATION AND DISPOSAL
Even with Comet’s promotion, it’ll cost £375.94 – thats £20 MORE than our everyday price.
What about a Siemens washing machine…
SIEMENS WM14S383
COMET – £649.99 + £24.95 DELIVERY AND INSTALL
J.J. LIGHTING – £549.99 INC DELIVERY INSTALLATION AND DISPOSAL
Include Comet’s Discount and specify an afternoon delivery, and you’ll still pay £559.94, nearly £10 more than our regular price.
See a pattern?
It’s all well and good having discount promotions, sales and offers, but its not exactly fair whan you are simply discounting inflated prices.
As you can see, our every day prices smash Comet to pieces, and even when they give 20% off, we can still compete.
Again, proof that shopping local makes more sense.

When will more people realise. You cant build superstores unless you make massive profits. The best bargains are to be had in your local stores. Plus there is a lot of satisfaction in giving your hard earned to someone who appreciates it.
