Who the hell is paying 15 quid for four bags of chocolate buttons?? I thought everyone was meant to be skint?!

There is a reason they are skint! MF

[vetran]

No thanks. Chocolate and orange is an abomination.

Some kind of pervert not liking that mix!

No it's convenience.

Next day delivery, bundled sent to you home. A lot of them are sent as gifts. A lot go abroard, most are people who went to the shop and couldnt find any.

Take Chocolate Orange buttons. You cannot buy these anywhere now. They were in Tesco last month £1 a bag.
I got mine for 85p after some discounts.

Pop four in a poly bag. Send to Amazon for next day / same day delivery. £14.99

4 X Dairy Milk Orange Buttons: Amazon.co.uk: Grocery

The price has come down now, as it's a marketplace, so now its £12.45. Software on laptop tells me that 200 sets of four have sold this month alone! £1000 profit on one line.

I'm just going to be shy of £500k in Sales for this year at 23% Net Margin. Bloody hard graft though :-)

They could not find any because dirty spekulants like MF bought them

Binned a bag of those the other day. Only wanted a bottle of water, but minimum purchase, nearest thing to grab.

Could've doubled my money.

But I guess to answer Andy's question, buyers are probably people who don't have easy access to such tasty tidbits?

How's the spanners collection coming along?

Got all the screwdrivers you could possibly need?

How about a nice air compressor?

An arc welder (inverter of course)?

Have they got around to mig & tig welders yet?

Not screwdrivers but battery tools LIDL/ALDI have a great range. Electric Drill, SDS drill, Bench Sander, Bench Grinder Multitool, Planer etc.

Already had 2 compressors (long story) but they do a lovely wall mounted air hose so I can pump up anything in the Garden. Their Air tools are great so have loads of those.

clamps, squares, Japanese saws etc all good.

I bought a tree shredder for £50 very useful if you have a Eucalyptus or similar fast grower.

They do a 2 handed lopper I swear by (on 3rd one having worn out the other two we had a lot of trees to trim). Also a hand held battery sabre saw that is great.

Beer - Amber Adder is very nice.

Food I like tends to be weird stuff. There is so good chocolate if you are willing to try it.

I bought food and veg from aldi many times but it goes bad in 2-3 days. Only booze for me.

Does it last longer, or have you not been able to find out yet?

[Andy2]

Think that's more of an Aldi thing and it's been tulip when I have bought any of it. Food and booze only from Lidl and Aldi.
