Good

Best bargain- back in 2014 I found the entire ‘House MD’ DVD collection for £5 in my local charity shop.

• The best bargain I've ever found was a designer handbag at a charity shop for only £20. It was in impeccable condition and a rare gem among the donated items.

• In 2023, my best bargain was a last-minute holiday deal to a luxurious resort. I saved over 50% on the original price by booking during a flash sale.

• My number one tip for getting a bargain is to stay informed and patient. Sign up for newsletters, follow your favorite brands on social media, and be ready to pounce on deals during sales events. Additionally, don't be afraid to negotiate or inquire about discounts – sometimes a simple ask can lead to surprising savings.

What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?

Research and compare every single option out there!

[TahirGi_2100805]

Best deal offer i have 

[Cameron_1553230]

My Best Bargain by far is the £20 for unlimited data and comes down by £2 to £18 if you’re in a group plan, to me this is a steal. Not to mention I get signal everywhere pretty much.

Bargain is an understatement especially when I used to pay O2 nearly triple what I pay now to have poor coverage from them anyway. 

[Jo_1882048]

Very good deal. Best. 

[hiviz_harry]

What was the best bargain you’ve ever bagged?

- The NHS, because no matter how much we moan about taxes and NI, or waiting for X-rays and operations we will never fully appreciate leaving the hospital without a bill.

What was the best bargain you’ve bagged this year?

- It’s still only January, but the best deal I bagged was in Costco on toilet paper. I sat down (on a chair) and worked out how much loo roll I could get in bulk that’ll last me all year. I took into consideration any multi buy deals, the length of roll to find the price per sheet (because who’s counting?). Having then spent £122 I’ve got enough for the whole village.

What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?

- Shop around, take your pen and paper and sit down and work out what is the absolute best deal for you. Only you can figure out what’s the best deal for you.

[MartinE_2070866]

The best bargain i ever found was a mother of pearl drum kit 13 years ago that was mint condition in a skip outside my house 😂 didn't pay a dime. Still have it to this day and sounds lush.

[Wackiest]

Managed to find a fancy designer armchair on an online Marketplace for £30!

[DrewBuc_2043258]

1. A projector from Richer Sounds, had their 6 year guarantee and was replaced for a new one 3 times during that period.  Got so much use out of the projector for movies and gaming, good times.

2.  This will probably stop getting me the £100 voucher oops 😬! But in December I got a three simo unlimited plan for business for £5pm+vat

3. use hotukdeals, blc, honey, Amex and their rewards offers, moneysupermarket always trying to get a bargain!  My top tip though is it’s only as much a bargain as you use it or need and value it!

[JadeL]

Best bargain- back in 2014 I found the entire ‘House MD’ DVD set for £5 in my local charity shop. 

[DonStau_1004581]

Best bargain is Smarty doubling my data allowance for free 30gig to 60gig.

[WaqarAh_2449233]

Found a cheaper car someone wanted to get rid 

This was best buye of this year 

Keep searching 

[NadiaYu_1472987]

The best bargain is 100GB for 12£. Absolutely love it. Can’t understand how my friends still pay 50£ to O2. 

[ScottJo_1338748]

The best bargain I’ve done was swap to smarty. Recommend to my mom who is an old pensioner to switch to smarty to save her bills as sky keeps increasing their prices. We are happy with the services smarty provides us. 

[JamesCollard]

Best bargain I ever found was my Smarty contract 

Best Bargain this year was no increase in my Smarty contract 

best way to find a bargain is to keep abreast of all the deals and offers

[NehaMal_1939479]

One of the best bargains I've bagged this year was that I purchased during a major sale event. I had been tracking the price for a while and patiently waited for the opportune moment to make the purchase. I secured a significant reduction in the overall cost through a combination of discounts, promotions, and cashback offers. It's a great feeling when strategic planning and patience pay off, allowing me to get a high-quality item at a fraction of its original price.

[SaraAnge_972968]

Unlimited calls and texts, with 200GB data is pretty awesome bargain 💪🤩

[theninjaman]

Best bargain I got this year was £10 for 60 gigs worth of internet and unlimited calls and texts from Smarty 👌👍💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[William_1626249]

Outside of electronics my best bargain was at Adidas, two garments for half price. 👍

[AdamMap_2019040]

I picked the 30gb plan for a tenner which is loads of data and a bargain and then I was updated to 60gb because they had a promotion on at the time.so getting even more data at a fast speed for my money.

Top tip would be if your not using alot of your data to check out the other plans available.as you can change them at any time and sometimes they have special promotions on lower plans as well so you save even more money and still get lots of data.

[MartinE_2070866]

The best way to find a bargain is to look on google for the item you are looking for and click the shopping icon and scroll through and compare other sites to see which one is cheapest.

[NC_942990]

• What was the best bargain you've ever found? - The 5GB plan
• What was the best bargain you've bagged this year? - I got 7 days unlimited data when my internet went out and it was plenty.
• What is your number one tip for getting a bargain? Check website and newsletters for deals

[MaryLill_729142]

I used to be on 30GB for £10 and then SMARTY offered me double data so I’m on 60GB for £10. Such a bargain 

[JackHiggi_12393]

My favourite deal is the unlimited data deal for £20,I was spending £10 for 30/50g but using it so quick now for only £10 more I get unlimite it’s so good thank you!!

[Charlot_2265261]

My greatest bargain is a pair of purple Hunter wellies for £9. I'm a size 5 to managed to get away with a junior size in the sales

My greatest bargain this year is to win a competition on Instagram. I received a voucher and used it in the January sales to grab a half price coat

My top tip is to go to Tkmaxx on a Thursday when the new stock arrives. SSH!. Don't tell everyone 

[Grumpy]

Best tip for getting a bargain. Know what you're looking for and what it's worth.

[Curiousnessie]

• What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?
  always search for the item you’re after in HotUKDeals to see the cheapest it’s been found for and use that as your target price. Happy hunting!

[StephenD_125357]

My wife is the best bargain I have ever found!

[JoelJob_1369449]

Tell me about the most memorable deal you've come across. I recall stumbling upon a stunning watch during a clearance event. Originally priced at $300, it was marked down to just $50. Doubting the accuracy, I inquired at the register, only to confirm the unbelievable price. Needless to say, I seized the opportunity immediately!

What's the standout bargain you've snagged lately? I scored some fantastic discounts on tech gadgets during recent sales, including my new headphones. Also, I picked up a quirky game called "Pizza Delivery Tycoon" that turned out to be surprisingly entertaining!

Share your top strategy for finding great deals. Invest time in exploring various options within your budget range, and resist compromising for unnecessary extras. The effort spent in searching pays off, as you're bound to discover a worthwhile bargain.
