I gave up home expensive slow internet in favor of 5G from smarty! speed is higher - price is lower) thanks!

[Mohbeen_1839041]

Since changing to SMARTY I haven’t had any problems at all.

[AmyLits_1378707]

My favourite bargain has been getting 60GB of data at the price of 30GB for two years! 

[AirTMZ]

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

When the mobile data plans got changed I now have 16GB for the same price as I paid for 12. Plus I have discount because I'm in a group. A great bargain when you make a group 

[gbengoyor]

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

That’s a great question. I love finding good deals and saving money.

That’s a great question. I love finding good deals and saving money. 😊

One of the best bargain I've bagged this year was a LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon set that I bought online for £100. It was originally priced at £149.99, so I saved £49.99 or 33% off the regular price.

I was very happy with my purchase because I’m a big fan of Star Wars and LEGO, and this set is one of the most iconic and detailed models in the LEGO Star Wars collection. It has over 1300 pieces and features many authentic details, such as rotation top and bottom gun turrets, a cockpit that opens, a boarding ramp and six minifigures. It was alot of fun to build and display .

1.  25gb for £8 at Smarty; but sadly no longer offered. 
2. This year has only just started. Bargain flights to Mallorca. 
3.  Don’t waste too much time saving pennies, life is too short.

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

Use a price-tracker app or website to track the prices of the items you want to buy, then buy them when they get cheaper or there's a special offer. Prices on sites like Amazon often fluctuate at different times of day - things can get cheaper late at night or early in the morning. Use a voucher app like "Honey" that will automatically try different voucher codes for you, and you get reward points for using it, this can save a lot of money over time.

[AlexN_2193246]

My best bargain I have ever found was Smarty sim, low price but great value.

[SarahJa_1252515]

Best bargain: 60p for a tick remover for my dog and cats.  Works a treat 🙂

[GavinYo_1664339]

My best bargain was the group discount from smarty mobile 

[gbengoyor]

What's your number one tip for getting a bargain.

There are many tips and tricks for getting a bargain, but if I had to choose one, I would say research the price in advance. Knowing the market value of an item can help you negotiate confidently and avoid overpaying. You can also check online reviews and ratings to see if the quality matches the price.

If you are shopping in a local market or a place where haggling is common, you can also use some other strategies to get a better deal, such as:                                                                               

get a better deal, such as:

• Making a low but reasonable starting offer and working up your way up to meet the seller.
• Having cash in hand and showing it to the seller as a sign of commitment.
• Not getting attached to an item and willing to walk you away if the price is too high.
• Being polite and respectful with the seller, and complimenting their products.             I hope the above tips helps you find some great bargains. 

[GavinYo_1664339]

The group discounts are insane 

[Karling]

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

Hmmm, let me think..

Ok, yes... Well whilst using my Smarty 60GB Data and Call Sim Card for just £10 per month, I once found whilst surfing online a pack of sausages being offered at a local store a few miles away on a buy 2 get 1 free deal!

I'm not daft and know when there's a bargain to be had so I immediately got dressed and called a taxi and bought 2 packs... I was chuffed I got 1 more absolutely FREE! 

[SarahBee]

My tip would be there are some great fb groups for sharing bargains people have found but don’t get swept up in it - if it’s not something you actually need then it’s not a bargain 

[MrKim]

Best ever bargain: finding out that I can buy a second hand iPhone for £30 and a Smarty SIM for £5 a month. Resisted buying a smartphone for a long time due to cost, but in this modern world we just need to have one. Great that SMARTY makes that possible without costing a fortune.

Best bargain this year: my Meta Quest 3. What an incredible piece of kit and although £475 is a lot of money, it is no more than a good TV and what’s the point of that with all the rubbish and repeats. In regards to entertainment versus cost, my Meta Quest 3 is the best piece of tech I have ever bought.

No.1 tip for a bargain: while interest rates are higher, don’t pay for anything on finance!

[BenBent_1364537]

My biggest bargain is of 2023 is 60 GB of monthly data for a tenner with Smarty! Saves me a fortune 

[ConnieL_2171063]

Getting £10 voucher for referring friends and paying £10 for 40Gb on Smarty!

[bladecaster]

best way to find bargains is HUKD 🙂

[dmpwright]

Getting 60 GB per month for only £10!

[pnav-ms]

The best bargain I've ever got is switching from another provider to SMARTY. From 10 pounds for 8 gigs a month to 10 pounds for 40 gigs. Absolutely the best bargain I've ever found and I am thankful for SMARTY's great offers!

[ClaireS_1367180]

The best bargain I bagged in 2023 was a laptop in a black friday sale, it was almost half price. I also had a browser extension running that sent a donation to my daughter's scout group too. 

[Victoria_975853]

Good luck with the draw!

[KarenDa_1787617]

[ScottSul_444073]

Best bargain this year was Smarty!

[DenisBo_1555266]

Lower your plan when you realise you don't need unlimited or 100GO data, so you pay for what you need only.

[MariaUr_1189765]

Waterproof boots in half price sale. No wet feet this year!

[Karling]

[Skeetem]

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

Finding out Smarty are onboard with 5g switch over 🥂

[NommyW111]

Always SMARTY. It's been my best bargain ever since I joined. The tariffs are brilliant and being able to use a large chunk of my data allowance when I holiday in France and Spain is a win win for me. Thank you SMARTY.

[Skeetem]

What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?

Number 1 tip for bagging a bargain is to check out Smarty website! Offering everything from data sim only bundles for fantastic prices to refurbed for phones at a fraction of other resellers prices!

[MartinA_1709997]

My best ever bargain was getting 3p off a tin of beans in Tesco because the tin was damaged

[PaulWhy_2443676]

Best bargain in 2023 is Octopus Intelligent for electric vehicle charging, 7.5p per kWh overnight for the whole house - saved a fortune

[KGSmarty]

Even without asking for it, SMARTY automatically extended my discounted deal for another 12 months, so this is my best bargain I have bagged this year, thank you SMARTY.

[SheilaL_2251834]

Smarty is the best bargain great network and fantastic plans

[SheilaB_2408825]

The best bargain I found in 2023 was double data on the smarty sim

[William_2149759]

I once bought a case of glass jars and phials from an antique store for only a few pounds. Whilst cleaning them up I found a letter and a withered lump of something inside one and it turned out to be an important holy relic which is now kept in a shrine in a cathedral. So maybe that was a bargain - a brush with Christ for less than a fiver?

[Richard_1534581]

Just look for the best deal suit for you...
