Their meat counter Angus burgers are a bit pricey but delicious, but if
you can accept trade pack burgers they are really cheap and pretty
tasty.

You need to buy the tyres when they are doing a voucher offer 20% off 4,
then its much cheaper.

Ho yus... thanks for reminding me, I have some I froze mid summer..

It's all pretty good quality, the Kirkland stuff is very good for an own
brand and the service is second to none.

That's a good idea, but I usually change two at a time.

Thats a good price but it's not that good if your paying �27 to join, the
normal fitted price would be �66 all in. And thats with a �9 fitting charge
and a 20% mark up worked in, so with a bit of shopping around I reckon you
could buy them cheaper.
Also Firestone and Pirelli at �49 and Continental at �56 are cheaper than
Michelin, and budgets are �33 .


the battery is either 49.43
