Buy at your local Toolstation store or add something like a pack of 1/2" tap washers 66p to your order to get free delivery.
I have one of these and rate it highly, lots of modes and it will show the stored data when not plugged in too.

i like the idea of these as i can plug stuff in and show my 12 year old just how much things cost when left on when she goes out, does it come with a big bat to beat the kids with when once they have been shown how much they are wasting to deal with them
my fav is they come in, goto the bathroom and turn the light on, then when they go out they leave the light on as its broad daylight and so they dont see that the light is on when they leave thus proving they did not need the light on in the first place

I like the idea of plugging all the appliances in my daughter's room into this and then giving her a bill each month. But that wouldn't cover the TV in the living room left on and the fridge door hanging open while she has a shower for 30 minutes.

I doubt you will find one for a fiver, this is the cheapest I have seen this type of unit.
