My best bargain ever was getting a first edition copy of one of my favourite books in a charity shop for £1. My best bargain of 2023 was signing up to Smarty. £10 Amazon referral voucher thanks to a friend, and I'm saving over £10/month while getting double the data!! 

Top tip for bargains, ask friends if they get referral bonuses and check charity shops as often people don't know the value of their donations! 

[BrianHi_2006091]

Best bargain a Smarty SIM

[DavidDe_1374295]

I managed to get a brand new Samsung smart watch 4 for just £58 .

[Daniel_224177]

What is your number one tip for getting a bargain? - always use cashback sites and use a browser add-on for something like Honey to try discount/promo codes!

[Charlahoy]

Best bargin i found this year was hands down smarty, saved me so much money when looking for a phone plan, i love that when you refer a friend you get £5 as sort of a gift. never had any trouble and best signal.

my advice is to look around, i almost went with someone who was double to price. so glad i didnt 

amazon entry

[Charlahoy]

best bargain i ever had would hands down be smarty, saved me so much money when looking for a payment deal for my phone, i like that they give you £5 gift when you refer a friend!

my advice for bargains? to 100% look around when deciding who you like to go with, saved me so much money!

amazon entry of £100

[FionaSte_284779]

Because we had our over 60’s bus pass with us in Altafulla Spain, we were able to visit a ruined Roman Villa for €1 each!

[Jawad]

2) 24GB with unlimited calls and texts for £8 a month

3) Just keep an eye on emails from SMARTY and check the website somewhat frequently

[HeikeGe_1834282]

Best bargain I have ever found was my girlfriend because she was for free 😁. 

Best bargain I found so far this year was 10 packs of Squeakybean salami usually £2.50 for £0.10 each im the reduced aisle. Hehe

Number one tip for getting a bargain. Always look for the yellow stickers 

[Abubakr_2379701]

My favourite is 16Gb data, unlimited calls and text for £8

[allison_2020337]

I wouldn't choose anyone else for my phone contact, amazing value for money nd I've lost count how many people ive recommend. 

[MarkGer_2326449]

Black Friday bargain upgrade to 30g for free, doesn't get any better.

My top tip is be quick and accurate.

[ksaro1]

#1 bargain tip - Check for voucher codes whenever shopping online

[Michael_1571126]

Number 1 tip for getting a bargain: use the many free recycling sites to reuse or repurpose items that the gifter no longer wants - and prevent needless landfill.

[JanetDe_1756385]

We have a holiday home. Our best bargain was a Smarty Sim for £15 PM with unlimited data This allows use to run our TV& laptop whilst there by tethering

[TobyTan_2010819]

Co op sandwich meal deal

[MaryBas_2254655]

Best 2023 bargain was getting my Smarty sim. Cheap lots of data and really easy to get sorted. 

[Addis]

Best bargain for me was signing up with a family member to SMARTY and benefiting from the family discount 😍

[OwenGra_2036900]

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

I think I spent £750 on a wedding ring (from a wholesaler rather than off the highstreet) and my wife said yes, so that has worked out very cheap considering how long we've been together!

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

Picked up a tuxedo that fitted perfectly (without alterations) for £15 off eBay, the seller said they had lost weight and it no longer fit... which was ironic because I had just gained a lot of weight and it fit like a dream :).

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

HotUKdeals is a great website for blagging things you don't need but you really want. If there are niche things you are searching for, set up a saved search on eBay and be patient. Looking at price histories can also avoid tears.

[TrevorM_1683663]

My best bargain was finding a pair of solid silver half pint tankard's at a car boot sale that cost me a pound for the pair and I sold two days later for £76, well happy 😁

[AndrewL_1321528]

My top tip for getting a bargain is haggle. You can haggle with almost any company for a product or a service. If you don't ask you don't get and the cheekier you are, the better. 

[IanHors_1906472]

my best bargain is my smarty unlimited 5g sim using instead of BT broadband saving loads and getting 4 times the Mbs 👍

Best bargain this year joining smarty for £5 a month sim for my phone 👍

To get the best bargain do your research, a few hours spent on the internet will reap rewards 👍

[EveClair_558613]

Having found smarty and had the benefit of the plan rolling over for a couple of years now is my biggest happy bargain I’ve found!! 

[BarryDo_1039216]

SMARTY HAS THE ANSWER!

Fantastic for me friends and family at BARGAIN PRICES🤩🙏🏻❤️

keeping it really affordable Xx

[LGrves_2042283]

The 125GB for £12 is the best bargain I’ve got through SMARTY- great price and it covers my data usage no problem!

[SusannaS_907456]

The best bargain this year was signing up to Smarty. To be able to have 100gb of data and not have to worry about running out. Such great value for money. Thank you Smarty!

[MandyPe_1930623]

best bargain 2023 was brand new sweaty Betty leggings for £10, saving £80.

Best bargain ever found so far is likely to be my smarty SIM card with data offer. Saved myself a lot of money so far and I hope for the future. Have also chosen smarty for my children now their contracts are finished with old providers.

Best way to find a bargain is to search and search around. Keep looking and you'll find the best price 🙂 

[Watermelon]

The £10 refer-a-friend bonus is awesome! I referred three friends in 2023 so it's the best bargain I've found.

[nievans1]

Best bargain of 2023 was an Xbox in Microsoft sale with extra discount by using AMEX.

[SusannaS_907456]

The best bargain I have even found was my fiancé!! He is worth his wait in gold!!!

[SusannaS_907456]

My number one tip for getting a bargain is to decide what you are looking for and search daily till the price changes.

[AnnHend_1921681]

Getting £10 per month SMARTY SIM deal - the gift which keeps on giving 💝 

[JanisCar_237432]

The best bargain for me was getting £16 for unlimited data. 

[Andrew_smart]

The bargain of 2023 was actually swapping my current account over to RBS, bagged £200 for free. 

If we're sticking just to mobile related things, I am saving like £20 per month with smarty compared to EE so I really appreciate what you guys do. I've swapped the whole family over!

[DougalJ]

Best bargain this year was a gel insole for my work shoes for a pound, now um walking on sunshine!

1. What was the best bargain you've ever found?

I like to play a lot of Beat Saber in VR and wanted to buy a Valve Index, but they are so expensive ( £1k plus second hand ) so I posted a Tiktok video to say how much I wanted one. An online Beat Saber player got in touch with me and sold me his one that he bought and didn't like it. It was full of extras and the total cost would have been £1500 plus and he sold it to me for £650! I didn't have the money at the time and saved up for weeks and he kindly kept it for me and I had it. This was my bargain. I was very happy as the whole kit was brand new and only been used once. He then bought a quest 3 instead. 

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

2. A Valve Index VR headset. 😊

3.What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?

3. If you want something that bad post a video on Tiktok and tell everyone about it and maybe someone may help you out. 😊

This is the video I posted haha
