End of 2014: Best Deals on Bargain Alerts?

Cipango · 2014-12-11 10:39:00

As we're coming to the end of 2014 I thought it would be good to look back on what you thought the best deals advertised on here were? I'll start by saying the €370 flights from Dublin - Oz with Emirates were my best deal of the decade, not alone year! How about you?

So ... thanks very much to all the posters who've kept us entertained and saved us a few bob over the year.

I wonder if we could choose a BA of the year?

My vote goes to Emirates flights to Australia for 400 euro return.

Not certain if it counts as a BA, but the robotic hover from Aldi was great.

Also all the courses from udemy that 'I will' do next year

A bargain for the bloke that got it for that price before they realised their mistake and upped it to the correct €299!

I know, I was very lucky, if it wasn't for bargain alerts I would have never seen it or got a code. Very much appreciate it. For €299 it's not a bad price considering its worth €400 plus.

Slim pickings this year. Tesco Argos and Harveys had no real good bargains.
At least none that don't pop up during the rest of the year.

Maybe its a good sign for them as they don't have tonnes of left over stock.

Is it me or has been the worst year so far for bargain alerts? In particularly the 'Freebie' section.
That being said, I did pick up the 40" smart tv in January, but nothing since

I was in the states around Black Friday/Cyber Monday and there is no comparison. Over there it seems to be actual sales whereas here it seems to be stores trying to get rid of their last seasons items/end of line.

The Nintendo DS Pokemon game with the bluetooth keyboard in Argos €6.99
came with a little stand, use it all the time with my nexus 7 running linux shells.

The Lenovo n20p chromebook I'm typing on right now €189.99

Picked up a 2DS (€99) for xmas for one of the kids in Harvey Normans (who I would normally complain of as being rubbish)

Also the Canon SX510 for €169 less than half price - an excellent bridge camera for us as didn't want a dslr
