Best bargain apart from the Smarty sim was buying a Smart Watch and because the strap was too tight I notified them and they sent me another one free of charge.

The best bargain I have found has got to be most items from a charity shop. The last one was when I found a Lush cosmetics item for only 50p. 

I would say best bargain would be a diffuser from the charity shop.

My top tip would be to go to charity shops regularly to spot these bargains and to rummage.

Best deal for me is my current ยฃ8 SIM for 50GB. Found it in MSE and have never looked back. Won't be changing back to pricey iPhone contracts!

The best bargain I had was when I found a rug worth $40.00 dumped in a back alley the other day, needs a clean but the condition was near perfect. In 2023 I found a lamp, all it needed was a plug.
Tip: look down back alleys. ๐Ÿ™‚

My Smarty SIM. The best bargain this year was upgrading it with loads of additional data for very little money. Stay on the look out for those offers.

My biggest bargain was my ad antages received from Smarty,  monthly Sim for only ยฃ10 which gives me unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 60GB data!  So happy I've found Smarty.  Will never use another provider again!

Tip when Charity Shopping (or clothes shopping in general) if you see something you love, but itโ€™s not your size, check the label and search for it on Vinted or eBay. Iv done this a few times ๐Ÿ™Œ

What can be better than a Smarty sim with group discounts, no annual increases but regular price adjustment downwards. 

Very refreshing to be treated in a fair way.

Apart from my Smarty sim (of course) my best bargain for the yar was an air fryer from John Lewis.

I have been part of an ONS survey all about Covid19 and have been testing for them for over 2 years. As a thank you they have sent me online vouchers. Still submiting tests but that is voluntary with no vouchers now.

Managed to bag a top of the range Ninja air fryer in the sales and as I had vouchers it cost me nothing!

Great bargin.

My number 1 tip for getting a bargain is looking around for different options (this is how I found SMARTY) and if applicable, waiting to buy it off-season ;).

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

The best bargain I ever found was a bottle of my favourite perfume which had been discontinued many years ago. I paid 50p for a full bottle at a car boot sale and they sell on eBay for around ยฃ450!

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

The best bargain I bagged this year was an Amazon Show in the post Christmas sale. We paid ยฃ18 and they retail for around ยฃ90

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

Car boot sales are great places to pick up bargains. We love taking a walk round our local ones at the weekend. I've picked up so many fantastic things clothes, household items, jewellery, toiletries all at bargain prices. Plus when you buy at a car boot sale your money goes to a person rather than a huge company making massive profits and you are saving an item from possibly being sent to landfill which makes it a more sustainable way to shop.

My best bargain was a bottle of my favourite perfume which I purchased for 50pence at a car boot sale. It was a 50ml bottle, sprayed once in the box. Little did I know when I purchased it that it had been discontinued and it is very difficult to buy now. Bottles sell for between ยฃ300 - ยฃ400 on eBay these days. 

My biggest bargain last year was an Amazon Echo Show. We traded in our old one and got money towards the purchase and with other codes we had we ended up paying only ยฃ18 instead of almost ยฃ85

My top tip for finding bargains is to visit charity shops - you can find some real bargains there. I love a good charity shop haul. Also Vinted is great for buying clothes - plus it's better for the planet and saves items from landfill too.

Aside from my absolute bargain of my Smarty sim and 100GB Of data for ยฃ12 a month, my biggest bargain was actually buying so many recycled and second hand Christmas gifts!! Saved myself ยฃ100โ€™s ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ธ

The best bargain for me was to get an unlimited plan for just GBP 16 and instead of taking a broadband connection and getting committed for 2 years, I have the flexibility with Smarty to take a plan for for just GBP 16.
Speed is great and my purpose is served.

I answered the last two points! Cheers, Smarty!

2. This year's best bargain was during the summer sales, where I scored a high-quality winter coat for half the price at a well-known department store in the UK. Timing and patience paid off!

 

3. My number one tip for getting a bargain is to keep an eye on seasonal sales and take advantage of loyalty programs or discount codes. Additionally, exploring local markets and thrift stores in the UK can unearth hidden gems at affordable prices.

My best bargain was purchasing 6 return tickets from the UK to Dublin with Ryanair for out and back the same day when they were doing penny flights. The total cost was 12p! A great family day out.

The best bargain I've found costs nothing, I love looking on Olio for things that people are giving away in the local area.

The cost of the SIM only deal allowing me to use the savings on my children and other bills also great coverage all over the country.

The best bargain I ever found was Prada glasses frame for ยฃ15 in TKMaxx

The best bargain I've bagged this year was cheap but luxury train tickets home for christmas

My number one tip for finding bargains is using Smartys unlimited because its so speedy you get all the bargains first!!

What was the best bargain you've ever found?

Ever? In 2012 I got a brand-new MacBook Pro for like ยฃ500 below RRP thanks to a coupon on a sale price and being in the right place at the right time.

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

You mean 2023 rather than 2024 - and that would, cheesy though it is, my data plan from SMARTY which costs me like ยฃ12/m for oodles of data. Super great value. If not that then probably some nice (used) garms n' togs from Depop ๐Ÿ™‚ 

What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?

Research, compare, research, compare, researchโ€ฆ You get the idea. There's no "one" full-stop place to find the best deals so you have to be prepared to put some effort in. Don't rely on 'recommendations' and 'algorithms' to push deals your way, and get into the habit of checking sites for things you want, often.

Just as others have mentioned.  My best bargain has been the Smarty SIM. Exceptional value for money with additional savings for my families group plan.  Value for money, great coverage, flexibility,  what more could you want.  How the mainstream providers justify their exorbitant rates beggers belief.

Thanks Smarty for the savings and peace of mind.

The very best bargain I ever found was a second hand wheelchair for my 93 year old mother which was a mere ยฃ30. She is very unsteady on her feet & has a lot of pain in her legs. We couldnโ€™t afford an electric wheelchair so I searched for weeks before I found our precious wheelchair! I can now take my mother out to lunch without her struggling in pain.
