It's the same every year; where's the best place to buy all those CDs for presents? Do you go to your local W H Smiths, or Amazon, or what? So, here's an example. The first 3 on my list (not for me, I might add) are:
1) The Christmas Album - Aled Jones
2) The Best Christmas Carols ... Ever
3) Katherine Jenkins Premiere
a) The local W H Smith. £12.99 each or £5 off 2. So, I could get 2 of them for £10.49 and 1 for £12.99.
b) Amazon. No 1 at £9.99 and the other 2 at £12.99 each. No p&p if I can get the total over £25.
c) HMV Internet site - No 1 £11.99, No 2 £13.99 & No 3 £9.99. And p&p in addition.
d) CD WOW! - Recommended by a younger relative. Not one of the 3 available - obviously not a site for old fogies!
So, what is recommended? Or is it, as I am coming to suspect, that there really aren't any serious savings worth the effort of chasing?
PS I did a forum search on CDs before posting. I think that I'm in the clear from the duplication police. :)
