I know I'm digging up an older thread here. But I just wanted to comment on the club card thingy. I've always tended to avoid such things as wallet clutter that doesn't do much for me. And most "clubs" are just a way for a store to track ones spending trends and target their advertising. But all waffle aside, I've been pleasantly surprised by this particular stores card. Maybe I've just been lucky, but things I do buy seem to go on sale consistently within the next couple of weeks, and the amount of store credit I accrue is nothing to sniff at.

Having said that, I don't usually go there for parts. Just consumables and cheap things I want to buy cheaply knowing full well what the quality is like. They have gone heavily into the Store brand system, where probably 70% of the product on shelf is made and imported by them. That stuff is usually competitively priced. Anything that is not their own brand is not cheap at all.


If a man says something in a forest, and no woman is around to hear him... Is he still wrong?
