The very best bargain I ever found was a second hand wheelchair for my 93 year old mother which was a mere £30. She is very unsteady on her feet & has a lot of pain in her legs. We couldn’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.

My best bargain was that I asked 7GB complimentary data for the last 7 years I stay with Smarty & I have been given it last month when I was actually out of mobile data, Really Useful. Thanks

1) The best Bargain I've ever found was to ditch virgin/sky TV and broadband packages, and get a Mifi form Three for £13 a month and a netflix subscription!! I've saved over £660.

2) The best bargain I bagged this year was a Christmas present for the wife. A set of Sony over head headphones that's were accidentally reduced to £30 from £189.

3) My number one tip would be to screen 'HotUkDeals' every now and then. The deals that some people find and helpful replies to comments you get makes it easier for you to grab a bargain if you were after the item.

The price of the plan compared to others and considering the signal I get and monthly rolling

Best bargain I found was my smarty plan I pay £18.75 on offer I think got on a past black Friday sale

the bargain I bagged the year was a drone of Amazon which I paid only £10

My number one tip for getting bargain is using deal websites and apps and looking on price history websites so you can know if a item has really dropped in price because sometimes retailers like to say a items on sale but it usually higher than last week

Having the freedom - not tied down to long contracts works best for me.

No stupid price hikes and blaming the economic climate.

It’s got to be the 32gb for £8 a month. I got this for my wife. Moving from a contract to a flexible deal makes such sense, the way other operators increase costs year on year. It’s definitely the way forward. I’d recommend smarty to anyone, the network speed is great (as good or better than others) and you can use your data in Europe at no extra cost!

Finding Smarty was my best bargain of 2023.  Huge amount of data and unlimited calls for a small price - and importantly for us can be used in Europe as we go to Ireland a lot.

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

Probably ordering an expensive pair of earrings for my then girlfriend. I had both pairs in the online basket, adding and removing them before deciding which pair to buy. To my surprise I received both pairs for the price of one. I made the company aware but as it was their mistake they told me to keep them.

Best bargain 100gb monthly plan, and best since last year. Tip: pay attention to offers on the smarty app to get some bargains like this

My most recent bargain was a £99 VAX hoover that retails at £399 that I got through Martins Moneytips with a limited deal.  It blocked consistently in the first pipe section so wasn't ultimately the bargain I hoped for.  I loved the hoover but spent more time unblocking than cleaning.  I do wonder if they used previous returns for the cheap deal.  They have agreed a return and refund so all good but put me off using VAX again.  Think through the bargain offer and don't accept anything that is time sensitive is my advice :).  Smarty was a good offer and worked out good and I am always on the look out for a bargain or two still as that just me 🙂

My favourite bargain was finding the 40gb plan for my son as he went of to uni. It was even more of a bargain with the group discount. Now he has no excuse to not keep in touch 😂😂

Best bargain was buying my first car in 1971 and selling it 6 years later for double the purchase price.

Best bargain for 2023 was dropping BT and signing up for You Fibre.

Top tip is always read the small print.

Paying just £7 a month with more data than any other services for the price, is a bargain itself!!

My bargains last year as this one has only just began, is when you get a £1000 coffee machine for free, there's very little to beat that bargain.

My tip to anyone out there is, be patient and keep alert for those unwanted items, clean them up (service them) then decide if you want to keep it or sell it on for profit....... Enjoy!
