Best bargain - a blouse for a pound.

Best bargain last year - refund on eurostar due to delay. Used Tesco vouchers in the beginning so cost zero in the end. And delay didn't impact our onward journey. 

Top tip - its only a bargain if you are going to make use of it or sell it on.

Some of the best places to get a bargain is using HotUKDeals. You can also use telegram and search from groups with bargains or price glitches.

The best bargain I got was a pair of Bluetooth headphones from £90 down to £10.

1) the best bargain I ever bagged was last year when my partner referred me to SMARTY. I pay £8 for 32GB of data which is excellent value for money! I also get 5G in certain areas which is fantastic. I used to pay £12 for 20GB! So not only am I paying less I am getting more for my money! I also love the fact with SMARTY I can easily access how much data I am using every day.

2) the best deal I've bagged this year is getting Harry Porter Legacy on the Nintendo switch for only £31!

3) research - plenty of it! To invest time in comparing places too.

What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?

 

sometimes all you need to do is wait. Cause I manage to get a shoe I really like for 50% off in January when originally it was only 20% off only.

  • Bought an old welsh Chapel for £1000
  • What was the best bargain you've bagged this year?
  • Bought the new Ninja Speedi Rapid Cooker and got Black Friday Deal plus extra discount for being a Pensioner.
  • What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?
  • Sign onto a cashback site and check if the purchase is available there. Check the exact product by looking at other purchasers comments and advice. Always think "if the bargain looks too good to be true there may be a scam". Never pay until you are convinced that really "need it" not just "want it".

The best bargain I have ever bagged was the 16GB for £8 only! I was so shocked considering not a lot of brands do that cheap for 16GB.

The best bargain I've bagged this year was the 50% off at Pandora.  I got to get the bracelet I wanted for the price it deserved.

My number tip for getting a bargain is downloading the brands you want.

Apart from my amazing deal I have with Smarty (it’s hard to beat), the best bargain I’ve bagged in 2023 was my new iPhone, which I got via a link on the Smarty App. An iPhone 14 from reboxed. I picked up the pro model for less than £700, which is around £300 cheaper than getting it from Apple. 
The phone is as good as new, I can’t tell any difference, apart from it’s not in a sealed Apple box. 
I’ll definitely be using Reboxed again next time.

Toms number one top tip about getting a bargain is being kind and friendly to the person you're trying to get a bargain off! They're people too and being kind and easy to get along with goes along way! 🙂

I’m currently on the 4gb plan, I personally believe it is an amazing plan for someone who does not use much data due the bargain of a price

  • What was the best bargain you've ever found?

A pair of Mountain equipment winter gloves down from £100 down to £0.99. My wife has small hands and there was only one pair left in XS so I grabbed a bargain and they are still be used when we are out in the hills now, over 15 years later!

The best bargain was finding a nice, new (but a couple of years sitting on the shop floor) carbon fibre bike that I snapped up for less than 50% of the original price!

The best bargain, without a doubt, was the Black Friday deal SMARTY offered my wife and I.   We have a great deal anyway at £8 a month each, made all the sweeter by going on a River Danube River Cruise and not having to worry about nasty roaming charges or exceeding data allowances as everywhere we went was on SMARTY's plan.   The offer, which came out of the blue and was a no-brainer, was to to quadruple our data allowance - all we had to do was make a few mouse clicks.   On our way to the USA and Jamaica next week so put a £10 add on on to the plan in case I need to make any calls.

What was the best bargain you've ever found?

- i found a beautiful sideboard in a shop with a surprising low price. Bought it right away. Turns out it was labeled incorrectly but I still got it for the price!

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

- I switched from a quite expensive phone plan to smarty and did not only get an Amazon voucher because I got invited by a friend I also got quite a good deal with 100g / month

What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?

- second hand shops!

I am currently on the 4gb plan, I recommend this plan to anyone that does not need a lot of data this is because it is a good amount of data at a bargain of a price

Some bargains i can recall is my data plan unlike my old giffgaff plan i am able to go the month with lots of data leftover for this year it has served me proudly i had also found a budget gaming keyboard earlier this year for a budget price. the best bargain i have found was my ps4 slim it was an absolute steal for only £130 it has undoubtedly proved to be a good value purchase for me and my family. my best tip to find bargains is look as much as you can on different websites, apps and in person the more you compare prices and value another good thing is to keep checking often for new listings or new companies. 

- Thank You

Best bargain ever was picking up a relatively rare used car when they were cheaper a couple of years ago, it’s now worth around a few thousand more.

Best bargain this year - I bought a Roberts radio very cheaply that was described as not working. I found it was just the power supply that had failed.

Best tip is if you are looking for something that is made in another country then google the name in that native language where it originated from, it’s surprising to find some items very cheap from Europe still, despite having to pay the postage and tax now.
