My best bargain was quite simply my Smarty phone contract. I get unlimited phone calls, unlimited texts and 120GB data every month on a monthly rolling contract.

My mum recommended smarty, and it has been the best sim in my opinion! Saving so much money on my current data plan. I also love the designs and structure of the app 🙂
01-16-2024 12:45 AM
I love smarty!

Hi I have a group account which is for my personal use at the moment. What's good about Smarty is the signal I can't have Broadband where I live so I have opted for the unlimited data plan which I pay £18 which I am using for my home broadband to operate 2 smart TV's and my security WiFi CCTV I can have 10 connections so that's the broadband done I am only using this for the unlimited data I then have the 100 gb for £10.80 as I enjoy the group discount for my own personal usage I will keep you posted one it's all set up. I have been with smarty for about 5 years now and it's easy to chat online to get things sorted ordering replacement cards keeping my number is easy and fast. Thanks SMARTY. Rachel

best bargain I have ever found is my 2001 boxer minibus 42000 miles on the clock only been used as school minibus engine like new i spot of rust (fixed) £600 I moved out of my flat and live in it full time whilst converting it to be off grid totally. Smarty unlimited data sim well thats tied top spot with the van, faultless signal run my pc amazon firestick ps4 cctv cameras remote switch for diesel heater off the sim stream movies and music and all for £20 cant go wrong PERFECT. Tip for getting a bargain facebook marketplace items for sale save the item, go back in 3 weeks if its still for sale then bid them little bit above half the original price most people will think its been on for a while and hasnt shifted they will then bid you a reduction in the original you go back with split the difference then bingo bargain I have bought all the build items for my van this way solar panels batteries heaters etc etc it works.

my smarty sim which has saved me a huge amount every month!
01-16-2024 07:53 AM
Best bargain has to be the deals offered by Smarty...simply the best out there.
01-16-2024 08:39 AM
Smarty,Smarty,buy Smarty
01-16-2024 10:00 AM
Had a few deals last year, as always shop around. But think the best,was joining smarty family plan, adding my wife and then setting up my daughter's first phone, getting all 3 now for under £25 a month with some good amounts of data.
Awesome, thanks Smarty 😎
01-16-2024 10:04 AM
my favorites bargain was smarty 60GB sim in just 10 pounds per month and the 2nd sim as well in 2023
01-16-2024 10:37 AM
After 30 years of being a loyal customer to one of UK's biggest mobile providers, my best prize was to move to SMARTY with the first 3-months at half price. Within no time, I was offered fast and efficient service with 5g coverage at no extra cost! My overall bargain of the year, was the free upgrade to 32gb of data with unlimited calls & Texts; all I had to do was receive emails with offers and sign up...! Amazing - So Happy.
01-16-2024 10:46 AM
Best bargain ever found was a Dyson hoover at a boot sale. Hubby spotted it in the corner and we scored it for £20. It lasted for over 8 years! 🙂
01-16-2024 11:06 AM
Definitely my first SMARTY sim. A couple of the other members of our house have plans ending soon, I'll be creating a family group and getting us all on here!
Jim.

The best bargain was buying sim from Smarty
01-16-2024 12:15 PM
Best bargain was my brand new leather boots I found in the charity shop which should have been £150 but cost me £5! Love a bargain....which is why we're with Smarty as a family. Best mobile bargain out there.

My favourite barging was getting an iPhone 14 from carphone Waterhouse back in October 2023 for £26.99 a month for 24 months, without upfront payment.
01-16-2024 01:30 PM
My smarty SIM and group discount
01-16-2024 01:34 PM
My best bargain still has to be the group discount for my Smarty sim and my mums
01-16-2024 01:39 PM
My best bargain is my Smarty sim 🙂
01-16-2024 02:39 PM
Best bargain ever was my Smarty sim at a great discount for a year..!!!!
01-16-2024 02:56 PM
Not sure if you are meaning just random bargains or only for telephone providers... If you mean random the best bargain I found last year was definitely the record of the Pulp Fiction soundtrack in the one pound bin in a charity shop! Was really happy with that
01-16-2024 03:38 PM
The best bargain I bagged in 2023 was a pair of shoes, expensive but really comfortable
01-16-2024 04:38 PM
The best bargain I received was the 120 GB data pack with unlimited calls and texts!!! I really enjoy this service, and everything is so cheap! I have recommended my friends to use it, as it has amazing prices!
01-16-2024 04:53 PM
My number one tip for getting a bargain, which works for me every time - is to know the exact name of the product or item you want to purchase. For example an iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB and type this directly into google then search. The search will return every store that sells this product and you’ll be able to compare prices for the most cost effective option.
Bonus tip - I always seek out used, refurbished or preloved products as I find they are best value for money. So you can include the key words ‘used’ ’refurbished’ or ‘preloved’ in your google search form example ‘refurbished iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB’ and you’ll be surprised you’ll find what you want for less!
01-16-2024 05:22 PM
Still here so it must be the best
01-16-2024 06:16 PM
Bargain for unlimited mobile data
01-16-2024 06:54 PM
Best bargain ever for me is my Smarty sim!! Great amount of data for affordable price and I have referred several family members to Smarty as well!! 🙂
01-16-2024 08:08 PM
The best bargain that I achieved to date was the cheapest monthly plan that I have had secured with my Smarty mobile number. Smarty has been a great service provider with a wide range of plans that can fit everyone's budget.
01-16-2024 08:13 PM
My favourite bargain was the £12 data pack with unlimited calls and texts! I love this network because it's so cheap!
01-16-2024 10:07 PM
Obviously the Smarty discount for more than one SIM!
01-16-2024 10:13 PM
Best bargain is the SMARTY discount for multiple SIMs - I have three! Also the fact that EU roaming is still included. That really is the clincher for me.
01-16-2024 10:42 PM
Best? Probs a few veggies from the community garden with really cool and pretty varieties. They were offering them for free but I definitely donated quite a bit.
01-17-2024 03:34 AM
My number one tip for getting a bargain is when lots of sellers on eBay are all selling the same item at around the same price, add all of the items to your Watch List. Usually, after a couple of days, at least one of the sellers will offer you a 5% or 10% discount on the standard price
01-17-2024 03:42 AM
The best bargain I've bagged this year was to use my Smarty data to go on eBay, and instead of searching for a hub for my Apple MacBook Pro laptop, instead I searched for a docking station. Everyone searches for a hub because it's small, but it draws its power from the laptop, so it might burn out the laptop's overheated ports. However, very few people search for a docking station, which does exactly the same job as a hub, but the dock draws its power from a standard wall socket, so the laptop's ports don't get overheated. I purchased a used, top brand dock worth £250, in MINT condition, for £12.49 *INCLUDING* shipping. Apart from my Smarty SIM only deal, the dock was absolutely my bargain of the year
01-17-2024 06:05 AM
2023 best bargain was on Black Friday! I got 32 GB Smarty data for only 8 £ monthly 😃
01-17-2024 06:29 AM
Hi all
Best bargain I found was my home theater soundbar system, it was out of stock everywhere untill one day it became instock at a bargain price.
Best bargain I've had so far this year is a dolls house for my daughter I spent £13 on it and wasn't expecting much but its actually quite good and turned out to be quite big in size and you can make 2 different types of houses from the one set.
My Number one tip to grab a bargain would be to use the price runner website you can complete a form with what you are looking to buy and get emailed when the item has been advertised at its lowest price.
Good luck everyone
01-17-2024 08:17 AM
My best bargain of 2023 was taking out a Smarty sim only plan.
The best tip I can give is to think about your phone & data requirements and then to shop around to find the best deal that fits those requirements 😀
01-17-2024 09:52 AM
I think the best bargain I found was in 2023, which was for an Amazon Fire TV Cube, which should have been £140 but with black friday deal and trading in an old unused fire stick it ended up being £85, around a 60% discount in the end. My tip for getting a bargain is to wait it out if you can, for it to be discounted and see if you have anything to trade in too.

My best bargain was a set of small drawers from Wilkos, about 2 years ago. They fit perfectly in a living cupboard and it's where I keep all of my tea lights, wax melts and other bits and bobs that I want to keep stashed away. It was an absolute bargain - reduced to 80p because the outside of it was marked. I took it home, gave it a scrub and it looks fabulous.
