What is your number one tip for getting a good bargain?

Number one tip is to do research! If you take your time, you will find a bargain. Sometimes you have to wait, patience helps to save a lot if you're not in a hurry to buy. Especially on ebay. Good luck 😀

Several bargins in the last year, a new Fender Ukulele, a proper barista home espresso machine for next to nothing, and ditching my £30+/month O2 contract for sim only no contract Smarty calls, texts and 32gb for £8

What was the best bargain you've ever found? 

I remember selling a broken iPhone to a phone company for almost £300 above the expected amount. It was a glitch on their side but it still worked nevertheless!

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

The laptop I'm using right now is second hand but it was really worth it for the price as I could not afford to buy a new one!

What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?

Use cashback through websites and debit cards, use student/blue light discount and apply for loyalty cards!

Tip for bargains = do your research, compare products/price, browse for the previous ‘new’ technology product, purchase as a season comes to an end…

What was the best bargain you've ever found? - I found a boxed copy of Pokémon Blue, with it's manual, town map and advert sheet ("the new N64"...), in a bargain basement for about £8. At first retail in the late 90s it would have been £35, nowadays it's probably worth somewhere from £50-£100, based on condition.

What was the best bargain you've bagged this year? - I use CBD oil to help manage my disability, and although it goes a long way, it's still expensive for good quality products. I was able to get my usual purchase with 50% off on a 2 for 1 offer with free shipping and a bonus something-or-other. It meant getting what I needed to last 6 months for much less than I would normally pay! (Shoutout to Supreme CBD, their products are top quality)

What is your number one tip for getting a bargain? - Don't feel pressured into buying with one company or on one site. See what's available elsewhere. A quick Google can sometimes turn up better offers - or confirm where you currently are is the best deal! Don't be persuaded by buy now bonuses and special deals, make sure you are getting the best value for your money.

Now, the best bargain I bagged this year was this wee pig and I'll tell you why. As you can see, he's a tiny little porker, by the size of my fingers. I bought him in a charity shop for a minuscule 10p. I fell in love with him when I saw him. I had no idea that the little pork chop is stoneware clay pottery. Just as I usually do, I like to look up online to see what I've bought because, sometimes things come from any famous makers. I found something very similar and I was pleasantly surprised to see that it cost £10. I think my wee pig costs more than that but then I'm biased. Whatever it is, it's more than 10p and I got a huge bargain that day, and he became part of the miniatures family in my home.

I mean 180 GB for 15 is biggest bargain

1. Best bargain for me has to be the 12 month contract for home fibre unlimited broadband for £12 a month with vodafone that I took out last month and because there was a 2 week delay setting me up due to technical issues I received £75.79 compensation which equates to the first 6 months being free of charge with £3.79 credit left after that.

2. Best bargain this year so far for me has to be 2 x pots of dulux paint for £32 instead of £42 from homebase with an additional 10% off as I set up my e-mail address with them, that's enough paint to do my bedroom and front room 🙂

3. Be very patient and do not rush in to any purchases, take screenshots, save pages or websites in to your bookmarks and shop around. Most importantly be very patient and when you have exhausted all of your options for the items you want then go for the best deal, (prices and sales can change on a daily basis).

The best deal Smarty ever gave me was 15£ a month, unlimited everything for a year, then you extended my 15£ a month deal for three months, and the best way to get a good deal is to be needy. Please enter me for the 100£ competition.

Best deal I found this year was definitely the double data bonus upgrade I got. My old mobile company tried to get me not to switch but when I told them about my smarty data plan and most importantly, the price I was going to pay for it, they had no hope of matching it!

I am always on the lookout for a bargain. The best bargain i ever found was last year when i managed to purchase a used motorhome for £9.000. So far this year i have bought some aftermarket decals for my motorhome at a very cheap price. My tip for getting a great cheap bargain is to be patient and take your time when searching for a deal.

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

Whilst on holiday in Turkey we visited a tourist attraction in Pamukkale.  The hoodies with Pamukkale written on them were 1200 Turkish Lira (approximately £34).  Whilst looking around the shop I noticed a rail with some t-shirts and hoodies hanging up that weren’t in packaging.  I found a blue hoodie with Pamukkale written on it and a price tag of 250 Turkish Lira (approximately £7) I noticed that on the back there was a very small ‘pull’ on the material, that didn’t affect the jumper and that I was sure I could ‘pull’ that back and not be noticed.  I checked with the shop assistant that this was the price and she said it was.  So I think 🤔 this was a fantastic bargain, a really thick hoodie that will always be a memorable souvenir from a fabulous place.  🤩🥳
