Best advice for finding a bargain is don't impulse buy as you often end up paying too much or being duped by fake discounts. Do your research!
Getting free items that people are giving away through websites
I use the 8£ for 16gb tariff. Smarty is the most. Affordable operator with excellent 4g and 5g coverage.
Best ever bargain - an unlocked smartphone from a supermarket for £20 - the ticket price should have been £120.
Best bargain this year - signing up with Smarty.
Top tip - research Amazon, eBay and Argos for a rough price guide.
Steer clear of the Big Name providers - I get a SO much better deal form Smarty than anything EE Vodafone and Virgin et al offer
Best bargain in recent memory has been the introduction of the £2 bus fare cap across the UK. I used to avoid taking the bus and would walk up to 1.5hours just to avoid the cost of a ticket. Now I take buses more than I walk because they're so good value.
I volunteer teaching at a building that also serves as a food bank and they always encourage us to take the free food as they get too much of it. Usually it is just the leftovers from cafés and shops that no one wants but today I picked up 4 wedges of brie and a few prosciutto baguettes. Felt like a great bargain to me!
Number one tip for bargains is to go to the shops later in the day. If you catch it at the right time you can get extremely discounted food. Most supermarkets also run a food box scheme to sell off imperfect food at a low price.
- What was the best bargain you've ever found? I bought my 50” TV in a Black Friday deal for £140!!
- What was the best bargain you've bagged this year? 75% off Ava puppy food from Pets at Home was £52.49 now £13.91!!
- What is your number one tip for getting a bargain? Patience, you don’t need something right then and there, don’t fall for the “last one” nonsense!
Unlimited mins and textes and 60 gb of data.
My tip for bargains is to look on the app and look for upgrade options literally had 30gb of data , for an extra £2 I get 60gb . This was one of the best bargains I found this year.
£5 SIM card, best bargain
- What was the best bargain you've ever found?
- When I found a pair of van trainers in the charity shop for only £1.50 in mint condition, after looking online how much they are worth. Turns out they are worth over £90.00. Wow!
