I spent my 50 at Homebase last week and only got 15%. Came to £49 at the
checkout so I was forced to grab something quick - a tape measure with a
spirit level and a notebook and pencil built in. The 4 year old grandson
was over the moon with it.

You should kepp the notebook and pencil because your mental arithmetic is
cack. :)

Luckily, I went in last night to make some choices about kitchen units and
worktops and noticed the 20% stickers everywhere.
I went back today and bought:
A complete kitchen.
3 worktops
8m of floor tiles and adhesive (for kitchen)
35m of oak style laminate and underlay (for the entire downstairs floors)
10 pairs of chrome door handles and spindles, for all the internal doors.
12 handles for kitchen cupboards
sinktop, tap and waste
Total cost, less than £900!! - I saved over 200 quids
The only thing they didn't have was the kickplates for under the units, but
as it's white, I'm just going to get 150mm contiplas, @ £4 for 2.4m, rather
than the actual kickplates @ £16 apiece, but they had no contiplas neither.
I need one more handle for the kitchen cupboards....on a related note, these
were in the aisle where all the hardware is and were in packs of 5 for £20,
but the same handles sold singly in the kitchen dept are £8.99 each!! so I
saved another £50 there.

No, you didn't. You spent almost £900 - you didn't "save"
anything.
"SAVE!" is a marketing tool, wherby over-inflated prices are
reduced to something near their real market value.
You'd save even more if you didn't spend anything in the first
place.
There is a difference between value and price, of course.
Something is worth as much as anyone is prepared to pay for it.
Did you do any price comparisons? You'll probably find that you
could have bought the same products cheaper elsewhere, even after
the "20% off"!
