How to create affordable DIY projects
DIY projects are already a great way to save money in the home. Whether you're building your own deck or redecorating the living room, it's often cheaper (and more fun) to purchase materials and tools rather than pay for someone else's time. So can you make your DIY project even cheaper? The answer is, yes! Follow these saving tips to get an even better deal on everything from tools and hardware to pipes and wiring!
Shop clearance
Most large DIY and tool stores will have a clearance section, particularly around the end of a season. For example, 50% off painting and decorating at Homebase, or 15% off select power tools at Toolstation.
Free delivery savings
Delivery on larger items can be costly, so where possible you should try to meet the free shipping minimum spend! If your basket total is slightly off, why not check the site for other items you might need for your project later on? It could potentially save you two lots of shipping fees!
Click & Collect
If you've got a car or a van, you can often click & collect items from your local store for free! Not only will this save you delivery fees, but click & collect items can be ready for collection in as little as an hour in some stores such as Travis Perkins and Wickes.
Join a loyalty programme
If you're a frequent shopper or have just started a large DIY project, it could be worth signing up for a loyalty card. Collect points and redeem them for discounts is just one way to make that massive project a little easier on the bank. In the trade? Get yourself a trade account to score some serious savings on all sorts of electrics, plumbing, tools and materials.
Borrow a tool kit
Need to complete your DIY project with a specific tool, but don't want to fork our hundreds on something you'll only use once? Choose to hire power tools with power tool rental options from Jewson.
