My top tip for bargains is to shop late night or close to closing times on a Sunday.
01-12-2024 03:15 PM
The best bargain I ever found was Smarty Mobile. I was paying a fortune on PAYG with another network.
This year, the best bargain I have bagged so far, is a set of tyres for my car in the January sales.
And finally, the number one tip for getting a good bargain is to shop around. There's usually a hidden gem just waiting for you to discover.

It has to be Black Friday double date
01-12-2024 03:16 PM

The best bargain I ever found was before covid when I bought my first car for £300 and everything was working
the best bargain I found this year was my smarty mobile sim plan as it came with a free upgrade that doubled the data.
my tips for finding bargains is to use student discounts if u are a student aswell as signing up to receive newsletters can help give u discounts

The best bargain I ever got was a free bottle of champagne at the hotel in the Shard in London. Staff wiped it off the bill completely after I highlited they had missed it off the bill. They appreciated my honesty and said it was on them !

Nothing better bargain than a bogof offer
01-12-2024 03:22 PM
Effectively getting a ‘free’ mobile phone back in the day when contracts would do cashback deals!
A pair of running shoes which were a knock down price on clearance - almost £80 saved!
Definitely shop around on different sites, and leave things in your basket for a day or two if not urgent!

1. Probably a pair of cymbals that I bought a few years ago.
2. Nothing so far.

Best bargain ever found was a book called the invisible choir, fantastic read
Best bargain this year has to be a Chromecast I brought to make my mum's TV work better for her
No 1 tip for a bargain is shop around, once you have found what you want at the price you want HAGGLE you can always push the price down a little more 🧐

Use vinted to buy your favourite items “new with tags” for a fraction of the new price!
01-12-2024 03:28 PM
My favourite bargain this year has to be the deal I got wen buying both my daughter and myself a electric scooter I was fine with having a nearly new/refurb but as my daughters was a Xmas gift I wanted new or atleast close to for the warranty etc they £569.99 each brand new but as I bought two and only 1 needed to have a warranty I got both for just over £800, £475 for my daughters and 350 for mine that's my favourite this year well either that or the s21 I brought a year ago dead cheap but broke the screen immediately so couldn't use for ages lol

My top tip is to not ignore emails from your favourite suppliers. I picked up an amazing discounted package just by having a cup of tea and reading the latest offer email, so my advice is to give them head space and air time to listen to what they have to say.
