Bit of a random topic this.
Whenever I go for a Bunnings browse, about 1/3 of the time I'll check out the offcuts box at the cut shop even though I am hopeless at handyman (I'm an Ozito owner, nuff said lol j/k)
Just wondering if anyone else goes to check out the box regularly as much as I seem to lol. Any good grabs, or even bad stories, or tricks you have to not get over charged?
Best I've had would be:
- decent sized sheets of thickish mdf boards
- big sheet of "Easycraft EasyREGENCY" mdf board that has a strangely high rrp?
- decent length like 1.5m of IRONwood treated pine sleeper
(Not that I've built anything yet)
The bad:
- I used to get a bunch of say sheets for a $2 buy, or a pile of small bits for free, but lately I'm getting charged per piece (ok fair enough)
- similarly, I've simultaneously had one big piece for $2, then tiny squares of the same things charged at $1 each (no surprise I ditch them at the register if that's the case)
- big pieces I get from there they give me a greasy look as if I'm lying about where I got it from even though the barcode half has clearly been cut off
Bunnings has an offcuts box?
