Since shutting down my safety signage business and semi-retiring I have had a lot more time to concentrate on doing things with my spare time. In addition to my favourite past-time of going to the pub and playing darts I have also attempted to tackle some new hobbies and projects. Kayaking, camping, crafting, gardening and DIY are some current areas of interest, all of which can require a reasonable financial contribution. Being quite frugal, I obviously aim to minimise any expenditure as much as possible. With this in mind I am always on the lookout for a bargain which has created a whole new hobby for me – bargain hunting for liquidated stock, customer return and over-stock products.
If the price is right I may sometimes order far more of an item than I actually need by purchasing a bulk consignment, usually for far less than the cost of purchasing a single brand new version of the same item. I am not trying to sell anything on this website, just documenting the successes and failures of some of the purchases to show how you too could be picking up items at a fraction of the price.
