Keeping The Costs Down.

Friday 19th October 2012.
Kings Bromley Marina.

Today we visited Jayne's sister who lives in Derbyshire which allows us, with a small diversion, to call in at possibly one of the cheapest chandler's around, Harvey's of Measham.

Today we bought a 13kg gas bottle £21.68, R.R.P. £25.49, 4 x 5 litres of Morris's 10/40 engine oil @ £18.72 for 5 litres, price from Midland Chandlers for 5litres is £24.00.

We took our empty Elsan Blue containers and refilled them from a large barrel this works out at £7.50 for 4 litres, It's £13.99 for 4 litres at Midland Chandlers.

And finally a new sealing rope for the door of our Bubble Corner Stove £10.50, Harworth  Heating sell them at £18.90 + vat although theirs come with glue which we already have.

Seeking out the bargains.

 

The only down side is that the chandlery is not yet by a Canal, when the Restoration of the Ashby Canal is completed it will be, but until then access is by car or a long walk.
