Make the most of Barry and Dave’s cost-cutting crusade

Two Christian bookshops are promising to make 2022 a cost-cutting year for visitors to their stand with many items priced at £2.22 – or less.

‘It’s been a difficult 12 months and we appreciate people cannot always afford to spend as much as they would like much,’ said Barry Mockford, manager of Canaan Christian Ministries in Staines. He and Dave Lock, from Manna Christian Centre in Streatham, aim to encourage visitors where they can, displaying a large range of books, cds, posters and cards for all ages – and representing the small, independent Christian bookshops in the UK.

‘We all know everything is going up in price,’ said Barry. ‘However, where possible, we intend to bring our prices down at CRE. Many of our items will be cheaper than you will usually find in the shops, or online, with many at our special £2.22 price or less. It will be the ideal time to not only support a couple of local bricks and mortar shops but also grab some excellent bargains.’
