• 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]

doing surveys and getting amazon vouchers 

[JohnMac_2242309]

The best bargain is the unlimited bundle for 20 pound

[MichalF_2057686]

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!

[SodeeqA_1716334]

Best bargain would be the 180GB for 15 pounds I got from Smarty last year

[JulieTal_930354]

My best bargain was a pair of Rocket Dog boots, the sell for £100 and I found a brand new pair in the charity shop for £6. 

[MICHAELWatkins]

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

[HANNAHM_1781360]

Best bargain is unreal data, calls and text Sims from SMARTY! I moved my kids to SMARTY and myself I spend £30.20 a month on all 3 and for that we get a total of 245 GB of Data, unlimited calls and texts. 

Top tip- contact SMARTY if you see they have a new deal you are interested in and when you plan renews you get the new plan and price.

Getting 10% off all plans as we are in a group 😊😘

[Michael_1185015]

My best bargain was my Smarty SIM card which I haves saved ££££s on compared to my old EE contract. Extremely happy! 

[Natalia_1466532]

The best bargain I’ve found is Smarty’s £12 for 100gb data, such an amazing offer! 

[TrevRobo]

The best bargain was getting the smarty SIM and always having 5g and lots of data.

[MJK]

The best bargain I found this year is a pair of ear buds for £20. I was keen to try ear buds as I had mainly used wired headphones previously. I was reluctant to buy a pair of more expensive ear buds as I find it difficult to get earphones that fit comfortably. I tried a pair from a small UK manufacturer (Majority) and I'm impressed with the sound quality for the price. They fit comfortably and stay in

[EmmaRees060620]

Best bargain was my smarty sim only plan which is just £12 a month, 100G data! 
best bargain tips use price comparison websites like Uswitch to get the best deals! Very happy. 

[JennyHo_2138311]

My number one tip for getting a bargain is to buy second-hand! Charity shops, vinted and depop are great for clothes and backmarket sells refurbished electronics. So much better for the planet too! 

[petregiu_616012]

Best bargain for me was the unlimited 3 day data pass 

My tip is to shop around, if you can grab a no contract, pay as you go plan

[BrianSm_1628127]

my favourite bargain was finding Smarty, particularly the great deal for roaming in Europe vs the extortionate giffgaff deal. Although I do most of my bargain hunting on line, never rule out the high street. 

[Brian2554]

I consider the best bargain i have found is joining Smarty after years of being ripped off by other companies

the double up bargains are certainly most impressive, I cant see me going anywhere in the future

Keep up the great work Smarty

[AndraHo_1827650]

I recommend everyone to subscribe to smarty newsletter as they send many great offers via email. I personally got for black friday unlimited for 16 pounds for a whole year! 

[AlexPet_1950394]

Black Friday 2023, 50gb for 8£ a month- great deal 😀 

Also the fact that you can use roaming included in your contract,  so good! 

[MarkHey_1707333]

Best bargain was getting a virtually new car for half price, under 2000 miles on the clock and no wear, bought it 6 months ago

Always be patient and don't be afraid to walk away, always research thye item you want to buy and compare with other sellers

[HenryWh_1410575]

Always paying a set amount each month that doesn’t change by surprise and no contact. 

[ALBERTH_2181064]

Like others, getting an extra Gigabyte of data for free on my plan was a great bargain.

[smifcouk]

Bargain (?) ... Hmm ... Had quite a few in my time ... From Clothes to Media to Vehicles to, well, you name it ... Recently had a stonker of a deal on the mini PC i'm using to type this ... Hit the purchase at just the righty time with an exceptional offer price PLUS an extra discount ... Cha-ching ... Had a deal on a brilliant Bosch Professional SDS Hammer Drill that cost me just over 80 quid (Brand New AND sealed) AND came with a £50 Quick Change Chuck thrown in 'free' ... BUT ... My absolute bestest ever bargain was a 12 day Holiday Cruise with Hurtigruten along the full length of the Norwegian coast ... All inclusive, outside cabin, return UK flights to Bergen included ... Scenery, wildlife, sunsets, huskies, the Arctic Circle, etc etc, and the MOST magical Northern Lights spectacle over about 4 of the nights ... I understand that 1200 quid isn't necessarily 'cheap' in the grand scheme of things to a lot of people (i mean, i could have picked that i get way more than i should for well less than a tenner each month from Smarty) BUT what that trip gave in return for that money was worth WAY WAY WAY much more !?!

[JamesLe_1616662]

The best bargain I ever found was SMARTY I had been with several other providers but none could match SMARTY for cost, ease of ending a contract without waiting, one, two years 

Getting a suit for my grandsons wedding 

Always do your homework never jump in because it looks cheap, double, triple check then if ok go for it 

[Thedoctor6678]

1)when paying for 4GB of data then getting an extra 2GB 

2)moving from an data provider to this one 

3)just stay with smarty if your with them already if your not then what are you waiting for
