DIY bargains

Next time you are tempted to pay DIY superstore prices, give Discount Decorating a call. Unusually for a discount store, it sells perfect stock, with no seconds or rejected goods, but can still offer discounts of up to 50 per cent on normal prices.

Look out for bargains on well-known wallpaper brands, such as Sanderson and Crown, and big savings on Dulux and Johnstone's paints, as well as good savings on a wide range of decorating and DIY equipment.

The store also stocks a selection of well-priced curtain poles.

Discount Decorating is at 157-159 Rye Lane, SE15 (020 7732 3986).
