1st time poster, be gentle. Irresistible deal at OW. As a self proclaimed DIY expert handyman, how could I not buy 1km of white poly string at $1.50. On clearance, original price $39.99.

Was about 12 left. Not sure if other OW have them. Could not find on the website. Looks like In-store only.

Bondi Junction,NSW Office Works.

Here us a link to the exact product, (at another retailer)

Too bad gaffa tape wasn't on clearance. You could just about repair an entire house with string and gaffa tape.

    I could have bought another 3km of string, instead of the snickers. (See the picture of the receipt)

    But the snickers really satisfied.

      You are forgiven, you were not yourself when you were hungry

        How could you forgive @rendo?! He committed the mortal sin of paying full price! Snickers / Mars funsize 12 pcs packs are on sale at Woolies for $2.50 ($1.99 with Everyday Rewards Card).

    Ah, but there's a snag, you see. Due to bad planning, the one thousand metres is in three inch lengths. So it's not very useful.

      Haha… I should have checked that!!!

      Hang on, nope, the string is definitely one single kilometre long piece, but the snickers was not 1km long unfortunately.

    It's believed that natural fibres are less harsh on the skin.

    Oh.. This is the diy thread. My bad.

  • Fappo on 01/03/2014 - 03:30

    If it was a megametre I may have been interested. $1.50 seems a bit rich for a mere kilometre.

    We have price matched confectionary at OW just be sure to check the Coles/Woolies catalogue before you go. If you are
    Iike me it's pretty likely something edible will attack you while getting your string :)

    Lucky we know already how long a piece of string is.
