Brighthouse - The Store That Prospers in Bad Times

I suppose it's no different from the old style (and still available -Littlewoods etc) catalogues that my mum and many others used to buy stuff from many many years back. You get your goods but pay the price for weekly/monthly payment plans.

Glossy and full of nice things we all want - no different to Brighthouse I guess.

Brighthouse - The Store That Prospers in Bad Times

I think more people should visit their local Auctions.   Some of the bargains are unbelievable.  Often when a house has been cleared, say when someone has died the amount of new stuff that has never been used is amazing and as lots of us people at the auction are interested in Antiques, the household stuff goes for peanuts.  For example colour T.V's for £15.00. Duvets still in the box £2.00. Sets of sheets still in the wrappers £1.00. Electric kettles still boxed £3.00.  
I, personally have never bought a new garden tool for 20 years.  I can buy a bundle of tools i.e. hoe,rake,spade for £1.00.  
So, there is an alternative for people who buy at Brighthouse ;)
