Amazon tablet that was to be chucked. Plugged it in n it works 

[GeraldV_2312263]

My top tip for bargains is to shop late night or close to closing times on a Sunday. 

[Michael_2035814]

The best bargain I ever found was Smarty Mobile. I was paying a fortune on PAYG with another network.

This year, the best bargain I have bagged so far, is a set of tyres for my car in the January sales. 

And finally, the number one tip for getting a good bargain is to shop around.  There's usually a hidden gem just waiting for you to discover.

[ChrisPad_360790]

It has to be Black Friday double date 

[JoelCar_1943054]

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

Most definitely my best bargain was during a black friday promotion with smarty where I got double data for no extra cost 🙂

• What was the best bargain you've ever found? A garden sprayer worth £20 and paid only £7 on an Amazon lighting deal.
• What was the best bargain you've bagged this year? Re-activating my broadband with Virgin at £22 for 100MB speed after cancelling it two days earlier because they were going to raise my billing at the end of an 18 month contract and what they were offering was not good enough for my £25 a month broadband budget that I absolutely wanted to stick with.
• What is your number one tip for getting a bargain? Haggle kindly any service you pay and always on the lookout for limited time or quantity deals anywhere you can be notified from.
