1. When you offered me 1 year at 15£ a month, unlimited everything
2. When you extended my contract for 15£ for an extra 3 months
3. Always be needy and annoying

1. Best bargain for me has to be the 12 month contract for home fibre unlimited broadband for £12 a month with vodafone that I took out last month and because there was a 2 week delay setting me up due to technical issues I received £75.79 compensation which equates to the first 6 months being free of charge with £3.79 credit left after that.
2. Best bargain this year so far for me has to be 2 x pots of dulux paint for £32 instead of £42 from homebase with an additional 10% off as I set up my e-mail address with them, that's enough paint to do my bedroom and front room 🙂
3. Be very patient and do not rush in to any purchases, take screenshots, save pages or websites in to your bookmarks and shop around. Most importantly be very patient and when you have exhausted all of your options for the items you want then go for the best deal, (prices and sales can change on a daily basis).

Now, the best bargain I bagged last year was this wee pig and I'll tell you why. As you can see, he's a tiny little porker, by the size of my fingers. I bought him in a charity shop for a minuscule 10p. I fell in love with him when I saw him. I had no idea that the little pork chop is stoneware clay pottery. Just as I usually do, I like to look up online to see what I've bought because, sometimes things come from any famous makers. I found something very similar and I was pleasantly surprised to see that it cost £10. I think my wee pig costs more than that but then I'm biased. Whatever it is, it's more than 10p and I got a huge bargain that day, and he became part of the miniatures family in my home.

What was the best bargain you've ever found? - I found a boxed copy of Pokémon Blue, with it's manual, town map and advert sheet ("the new N64"...), in a bargain basement for about £8. At first retail in the late 90s it would have been £35, nowadays it's probably worth somewhere from £50-£100, based on condition.
What was the best bargain you've bagged this year? - I use CBD oil to help manage my disability, and although it goes a long way, it's still expensive for good quality products. I was able to get my usual purchase with 50% off on a 2 for 1 offer with free shipping and a bonus something-or-other. It meant getting what I needed to last 6 months for much less than I would normally pay! (Shoutout to Supreme CBD, their products are top quality)
What is your number one tip for getting a bargain? - Don't feel pressured into buying with one company or on one site. See what's available elsewhere. A quick Google can sometimes turn up better offers - or confirm where you currently are is the best deal! Don't be persuaded by buy now bonuses and special deals, make sure you are getting the best value for your money.

Tip for bargains = do your research, compare products/price, browse for the previous ‘new’ technology product, purchase as a season comes to an end…
13-01-2024 00:44 AM

The double data offer when i first subscribed to smarty. For now, i get 60 gigabytes per month
13-01-2024 00:20 AM
What was the best bargain you've ever found?
I remember selling a broken iPhone to a phone company for almost £300 above the expected amount. It was a glitch on their side but it still worked nevertheless!
What was the best bargain you've bagged this year?
The laptop I'm using right now is second hand but it was really worth it for the price as I could not afford to buy a new one!
What is your number one tip for getting a bargain?
Use cashback through websites and debit cards, use student/blue light discount and apply for loyalty cards!

Several bargins in the last year, a new Fender Ukulele, a proper barista home espresso machine for next to nothing, and ditching my £30+/month O2 contract for sim only no contract Smarty calls, texts and 32gb for £8
13-01-2024 00:09 AM
What is your number one tip for getting a good bargain?
Number one tip is to do research! If you take your time, you will find a bargain. Sometimes you have to wait, patience helps to save a lot if you're not in a hurry to buy. Especially on ebay. Good luck 😀

Number one tip for getting a bargain switch to smarty
12-01-2024 23:53 PM
The £20 unlimited data is a steal
12-01-2024 23:45 PM
125GB £12 a great deal. Love smarty, so far no issues with the network and 5g speed. 4gb for £5 was a best deal for me .
12-01-2024 23:45 PM
Finding a £250 radiator for £80 on marketplace. Also these plans with Smarty are well worth it. Bargain in itself
12-01-2024 23:42 PM
Best bargain has to be being a slave to Vodafone for 20 years then switching to smarty and more than halving my bill, no more stressful phone calls with irritating Vodafone customer service, simplicity and a great deal on my mobile with smarty…….now that’s a bargain. 👍👍
12-01-2024 23:38 PM
Smarty was the best bargain I found on the market
£12 a month for 100gb data is the bargain of the century
Recommended smarty to friends&family to gain a free £10 voucher
12-01-2024 23:38 PM
For me the best bargain I've ever found was cheap flight tickets to Mexico. This was extra special because this is where I met my wife.
£20 waterproof walking boots which i desperately needed for cycling to work.
Make use of websites specialising in finding bargain buys. Not only do you find bargains but people also give their honest reviews on the products and the vendors.

Swapping from O2 to Smartie!
12-01-2024 23:30 PM
My smarty SIM card was my best bargain of 2023
12-01-2024 23:19 PM
50GB for £10 a month
12-01-2024 23:12 PM
Maybe a bit different to others, but the best bargain I've ever found was my wife whose impact on my life and the child she gave us is priceless, immeasurable, and keeps on paying dividends in my life every day.
The best bargain this year? Got to be getting solar panels at the start of the year. Home Energy Scotland interest free loan, followed by no electricity payments for half the year allowed us to bank enough payments to keep the house warm this winter, a must for my youngest who has special needs and health issues.
Number one tip for getting a bargain? Always shop around. Don't be scared to do a quick search online when in a store. Always check it out on other reputable supplier's web pages. Just because something is on sale, doesn't mean its the cheapest you can find. And shop with an incognito browser, cleaning the cache after each shop you visit.

Smarty is the best deal. Save £15 over vodafone
