The Bargain Thread........

Post by Yorkshire Andy »

Not sure if it will work or if there is a old thread but how about Bargains you have found which are prepping equipment related type thread?

Thinking trying to keep to National / Large multi Regional chains of stores so it helps more than yourself or very local preppers, the little independent hardware store on the corner of the industrial estate might not be ideal for most to get to if your more than a few miles away....

Yes i know there is Flea bay and Amazon but some stuff on there works out more expensive due to P&P and we wont even start on the amount of fake stuff from unscrupulous scamming sellers :twisted:


On that note let me put two of my finds up #

Led Lenser L7 torch £19.99 in MKM builders merchants at the moment £15 off RRP

same as this:

i almost got one of these too but spent too much lately

http://www.mkmbs.co.uk/pages/349/gifts- ... tools.aspx



And not on offer as such but £4.99 in Tesco... a Summit nightstorm 300 head torch very similar to the Energizer offering which is about £14


The summit has a red led in the center but the casings are almost identical
