Shopaholic? Me?

I was pleasantly surprised by Samsung’s customer service. Nearly 5 years ago I bought myself an American Style Fridge Freezer and has been very happy with it so far. Apparently some models had a small flaw (not that I noticed) and so they contacted us and sent out someone to do an alteration for FREE. Considering that it has been almost 5 years, I was very pleasantly surprised.

Meanwhile I have asked about a small flaw I did notice and they said they would fix it as it was a flaw they are aware about but they would have to send someone over. Now this was over a month ago… and I am still waiting… but I still hope. Meanwhile, I think I will contact them again just to keep it current.

I will keep shopaholic updated, but still, I am very pleased.

I know that the first couple of months with a new baby can be a bit mind blowing, so I have talked my hubby into upgrading our satellite subscription, after all day time TV has never been good. But this got my sweet technology addicted hubby talking about new TV’s, plasma mounts, LCD’s, etc etc. Personally I am happy with our bog standard TV but then again, who am I to complain? After all I do enjoy the advantages of his technology addiction. So perhaps I will let him go ahead and indulge in a little technology shopping!

I bought the washing machine from Comet. Honestly at £155 with Free delivery it was a great deal. I did succumb to pay extra so that I can have it sooner. But you could pick and chose when you receive it. But for a little extra I get it delivered this sunday. I also ended up buying a fridge! There was no charge for that as I was having the washing machine delivered with free delivery also.

I will let you know what I think of their delivery and customer service. Just watch this space.

 

 

I was looking to buy 2 washing machines for a couple of flats that are being rented out. As they are rented out, I was not fussed about any extras. I wanted a cheap and basic model so that it can be supplied and I can replace as and when necessary. My only requirement are that they are cheap enough that when they break down, I can just replace. Obviously once the guarentee is over.

Believe it or not, I found the cheapest washing machines at Comet. They were at only £155 each! To top it off, they also included Free delivery. That made my day, especially considering that a call out charge to fix a machine is usually in the region of £90! 
 

 

Did you hear, Tesco has released a new and updated catalogue. And currently, you can get triple points on every order. Yippee!!

Comet does electricals. To quote their logo, they “live electricals”!

They really do have great prices on most electricals, and sell all electricals including:-

• Washing Machines
• Fridge Freezers
• Dishwashers
• Cookers
• Vacuum Cleaners
• LCD’s & Plasma TV’s
• DVD’s & Hard Drives
• Play Stations / PS3
• Home Cinemas
• Hi-Fi’s
• Laptops, PC’s, PDA’s & Computers
• Printers
• MP3’s & iPods
• Camcorders
• Digital Cameras
• GPS Navigation
• Phones & Mobiles
• Microwave Ovens

They do have guarantees like on delivery. If you do not get it when they say they will deliver it, you get your delivery fee back.

With deliveries, they will deliver to a room of your choice. They will unpack it for you and take away the packaging for recycling. They will also take away certain old appliances like your old TV and Fridge subject to their being the same size or smaller than the one you are purchasing for a nominal non profit fee charge.

Delivery starts from Free. You will need to see if you qualify.

They also offer a click and collect service, where you can order online and collect in store and pay there an hour later.

Last but not least, they have Comet Auctions which they use for clearance on end of lines. You can bag yourself a bargain. However make sure you know the price of the item you are bidding on. I have seen a couple of auctions sell for more than if they walked in store or bought straight from the website. The point of the auction is to get a good deal.

I am sure that you have heard of Dyson vacuum cleaners. They are some of the best vacuum cleaners ever made.

You can buy Dyson Spares & Accessories, as well the actual vacuum cleaners.

You get a 5 year guarantee with each vacuum cleaner. They may seem pricey but they are worth every penny. I have seen them in action and they put my vacuum to shame. I cannot wait for mine to break down so that I can buy a Dyson!

Sharon Kitchens is a Kitchen Manufacturer in Rhyl. They were founded in 1973 by Bernard Burke. It is a family run business and serves the North Wales region including Llandudno, Conwy, Colwyn Bay, Rhos on Sea, Caernarfon, Rhyl and the surrounding areas.

Sharon Kitchens design, manufacture and produce a kitchen specially made for you. You can select from high gloss high tech to modern or traditional wood doors, laminated to granite or solid wood worktops. You can choose different styles, colours, handles and accessories. And you can complete your kitchen with branded appliances such as Dishwashers, Cookers, Fridges, Microwaves from Belling and Hotpoint to Bosch or Neff.

The one thing I do advise, is that if you are going for that kitchen, think all appliances for your convenience and have them. My favourites include my dishwasher which can wash crystal and my American Style Fridge Freezer (very spacey!). And don’t forget to include lots of drawers. You need them for your cutlery, dishcloths, utensils and bits & bobs obviously!

As the kitchen is being made specifically for you, you can think of what you like in your current kitchen and let them know what you like and don’t like in your current kitchen so that they can fix it. I do recommend that you look at other people’s kitchens for some ideas. You can also see some of their work on their website. Great to look at if you need inspiration. Though just contact them and ask for advice if you just want a new kitchen whether you know what you want or need help!

These Boots were made for walking…. walking straight into a Boots Store, or if you prefer not wearing Boots, then just order online!

As you probably know Boots is a pharmacy plus superstore. If not, where have you been living? What would you do without Shopaholic? Me? Never mind, we are here to help.

Boots are fundamentally a pharmacy. They stock every type of medicine, drug, lotion, alternative therapy that you can think of. They also do prescription medicine too. They not only go the further step of renewal prescriptions but they go even further by delivering the medicines direct to your home. Isn’t that fantastic?

But there is more to Boots than pharmaceuticals. They are absolutely fantastic for Baby Products (including Nappies, creams, clothes, baby food and more!), Gift Packs (especially at Christmas), Special Offers (particularly great at 3 for 2’s), Clothes (Not so great except for kids), Educational Toys (they even stock ELC toys), Photo products & developing, Beauty, Hair, Slimming Aids etc! They really do a whole range, just peak at their website. They are particularly good in their kitchen appliances on prices. To give you an idea…. I purchased a fridge from them and save over £100 on the Tesco price for the same product! And you know Tesco, they have some of the best prices around. Just imagine how good a deal my fridge was!

They even have a range of Clubs. These include:-

• Health Club – Expert & practical advice on the heath topics that matter most to you.
• Parenting Club – They regularly send you updates and topics concurrent with your babies age, as well as discounts and coupons. You also get a FREE gift bag and a whole range of samples.

Last but not least, they even have an advantage Card for regular shoppers. You can pick this up in store or sign up for it. You get a generous 4 points per pound. This is equivalent to 4 pence per pound or 4%. They often do triple nights or extra points nights. On a triple night you get back a 12% equivalent of what you spend. Which means you can really save up for treats. I tend to save up for a whole year, and have more than £100 to spend on myself at Christmas or for my Birthday. And it all comes from things like toothpaste, medicine, nappies, shampoo etc!

Note that if you forget to take your card in store, you must ask them to validate your receipt and take it back within 30 days so they can credit your account with the points.

They always have some form of offer on, so just go ahead and check them out. Just click on the link below.
