What did you buy today ???

[froudy]

Just bought some new led indicators ( made in the U.k. this time) as the cheap Chinese ones have fallen
apart at the mounting points. Got them held together with gaffa tape at the moment.

If they're Oxford indicators don't hold your breath...

Nothing biking, Bunnings is a Aussie huge hardware chain. Walking thru today spotted a little cardboard sign, todays bargain it said. 2 garden pruners/secateurs, usually $40. Took to checkout, $5. My bargain of the year. Speaking to bunnings person, everyday is a bargain sign hidden somewhere. Yesterday was a Kingchrome 3/8 socket set. Usually $120, was $10. Keep eyes open Aussies. It can be anywhere.

@froudy , no they are not oxford indicators thankfully, they're  made by a company called Kinstecks they arrived 20 minutes ago in the post, here's a photo of them.

450mm working length masonary drills, what does a retired person want those for.

[froudy]

You want them for the same reason I wanted this. You can't have too many tools.

Is that a high tech bread slicer Snapey.

Power feed for Jeff's drills.

It's a very clean bread slicer I must say.   Does it do toast and sandwich slice in the same loaf?

It's made in Spain mate ... only Kiwi made machines can do that.

Today was my annual trip to Aldi, always have found some sort of bargain. Not this time. Was a good hamburger shop near it so not a complete waste of time.

You only bought that because it its bigger than the one I have.
It must have cost a lot of dough.
Its good you have that big screen behind it to watch U tube video on how to use it.

Grog the annual trip to Aldi is usually for motorcycle gear, no Aldi here Lidl instead but it appears to be the same stuff. I have a few power tools from there been OK so far.

Aldi's snow skiing/boarding gear is of a very high standard and great value for money for someone who only ski's once a year for a week or two.

Their motorcycle gear is not too bad bud it's low level Pakistan produced leather. IMHO I'd prefer RST or other. 

If you shop there regularly they do have many bargains. And no I don't work for them.

Today i ordered a new house computer. This will be my 4th from same bloke. Never a problem. Quoted from computer shop for same HP machine, $2500 plus. Hes building what i want, new stuff inside, windows 10 fully upgraded, swap all files old to new, $250. This one im using, 3 yrs ago, his quote was $210, he then charged me 150. Great to meet people who charge the correct price and good at there job. He reckons normal computer retail stuff is 10x what it should be. I cant argue, ive had 10 yrs of no probs with his builds.
