9kg Gas refill special - BCF
« on: July 17, 2011, 05:47:45 PM »
Hi all,
For those out there that have a BCF store nearby, 9kg gas bottle refills are $17-95 for BCF members (free to join).
Not sure for how long or whether it applies to certain areas but that's what I paid today in Cairns.    It's cheap for up here (normally $28 odd)

 :cheers:

Thanks

got one to fill.

I don't use much gas but last time I think was $28 - if anyone knows a good place in Port Macquarie that has permanent reasonable price I am listening carefully?

Still the cheapest I have found around here though - let me know if you know/find cheaper.

Just filled up 2 x 9kg at BCF in Mackay yesterday and it was ~$56 after giving them my member card  >:(

Must be Cairns only.

I have to say though that I got 1 up on BCF a couple of months ago. Bought a new 9kg cylinder from them and got them to fill it. Charged me $26 which I thought was odd. Once I had it in the car I sent the young fella in to find out the price and they didn't charge me for the cylinder  ;D I put it down to being a member.

Regards
David

Rays Outdoors Rothwell 9kg $18.50 club members or $19.95 for non members. Good value I think since everyone else around me is min $28.

Local BP in Penrith NSW - $15.99. Been at those prices since January 2011.
BCF's 100 meters away are now matching BP's price.

Hehe, good one Dave, must remember that one!!!
Go in, grab a new bottle off the shelf,  walk up to the counter & ask for a refill ;D ;D
   "That will be $26 please (or however much a refill is)"    "No worries - any member dicount on that?"  ;D ;D
Chalk one up for the bargain thread >:D
