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

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 😊😘

My best bargain was my Smarty SIM card which I haves saved ££££s on compared to my old EE contract. Extremely happy!
01-13-2024 02:45 PM
The best bargain I’ve found is Smarty’s £12 for 100gb data, such an amazing offer!
01-13-2024 02:47 PM
The best bargain was getting the smarty SIM and always having 5g and lots of data.
01-13-2024 02:50 PM
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
01-13-2024 02:50 PM
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.
01-13-2024 02:51 PM
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!
01-13-2024 02:55 PM
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
01-13-2024 02:58 PM
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.
01-13-2024 03:00 PM
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
01-13-2024 03:04 PM
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!
01-13-2024 03:06 PM
Black Friday 2023, 50gb for 8£ a month- great deal 😀
Also the fact that you can use roaming included in your contract, so good!
01-13-2024 03:08 PM
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
01-13-2024 03:09 PM
Always paying a set amount each month that doesn’t change by surprise and no contact.
01-13-2024 03:10 PM
Like others, getting an extra Gigabyte of data for free on my plan was a great bargain.
01-13-2024 03:12 PM
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 !?!
01-13-2024 03:13 PM
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
01-13-2024 03:14 PM
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
01-13-2024 03:17 PM
Best deal I got was £8 for 32GB unlimited text and calls during Black Friday. Best deal of the year!
01-13-2024 03:17 PM
My best bargain was a Shark cordless vacuum! 47% discount just before Christmas and just as the Dyson was giving out so perfect timing.
01-13-2024 03:18 PM
"What was the best bargain you've ever found?" Smarty, of course!
The group plan is a really good idea... but it could be better! 😛 Why not let us share unused data amongst the accounts too? Fair enough, if you need to set an expiration on it or some sort of time-based restriction, but I think lots of customers would really like this! 😉
01-13-2024 03:20 PM
The best bargain I found this year, was an almost new jacket for 99p at the Chafity shop by me where everything is 99p!
I'd also recommend charity shops as my top tip for getting a bargain!
Thanks smarty for your sim card, which is also a bargain!
01-13-2024 03:19 PM
My best bargain was getting this SMARTY sim for £8 a month with more data than I'll ever need!
01-13-2024 03:20 PM
the best bargain I got this year was giving xqc 100M to stream on my platform
01-13-2024 03:23 PM
Best purchase of the year was my smarty sim card! I was paying £25 a month now I'm paying £10 a month thanks to smarty. I have recommended all of my friends and so far I have received £20 in amazon vouchers.
01-13-2024 03:33 PM
What was the best bargain you've ever found? Booking an air-miles return flight to the US which only cost me the air passenger duty.
What was the best bargain you've bagged this year? Less than a fortnight in, so it’ll have to be half price confectionery.
What is your number one tip for getting a bargain? Keep looking , they’re out there and haggle - it’s easy.
01-13-2024 03:34 PM
The best bargain for 2023 was me signing up with Smarty which I save money and I also got my husband sign up with Smarty so we both save money.. also my three symbolins are with smarty, so they too can save money. I like there's community, so any problems I can get answer from other users, Very smart .
01-13-2024 03:34 PM
I love buying secondhand! Not only is it good for the planet, but also good for your pocket! We bought a beautiful solid oak table and chairs for £85 and we love it!
01-13-2024 03:36 PM
Q) What was the best bargain you've ever found?
A) A few years ago, I found an old army dress jacket in a charity shop that was being sold really cheap, about £30. It has some buttons on it that turned out to be make from solid gold sovereigns. That was a good day.
Q) What was the best bargain you've bagged this year?
A) I assume you mean 2023. I managed to pick up a really rare piece of uranium glass from a charity shop for around 30p.
Q) What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?
A) My tip is, it's only a bargain, if you needed it and you found it cheap. If you bought something you didn't need, it's not a bargain.
01-13-2024 03:36 PM
