In UK at Homebase they had a cutting section and any excess customers didn't want they'd sell on at reduced price. Is there anything like this here in Hungary?

You had me worried there for a minute! Thought you were talking about gas & electricity!

Sorry, don't know the answer!

You should check with OBI, I know they did have cut off sheet goods last time I shopped with them but it has been a while since I was in the Kaposvar shop.

I go to OBI in Miskolc quite often and never seen a cutting section.
I need to get plasterboard but only need width of 30cm, hence, why I'm asking about DIY stores with a cutting section.

The OBI Miskolc website says "cutting for the size"

FenTiger

This must be a Specsavers issue! I honestly not seen a cutting to size section!

If it's anything like the US stores that sell large quantities of plasterboard, take a look near the stack of plasterboard and you will probably find a damaged piece, perhaps from the top of a new stack, that is heading for the waste skip. They should be willing to sell it for a sharp discount, as damaged plasterboard is virtually unsaleable.

That's good advice .... so next time I'm in Praktiker or OBI I'll look for Sale items or scrimmage through everything until I find something damaged.

Nick, You may want to stop and check out construction sites in your area when the builders are working on site if there are any projects near you, sometimes they have scrap items that they will give away or sell for almost nothing at the end of a project. Just a thought.

My local OBI has a cutting service.
There are always large amount of off cuts marked for sale, usually shorter lengths of worktops etc.
OBI website will tell you which stores have a cutting service.

Thanks. I will check the OBI Miskolc store services.
