    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?

    For me it would either be
    the LG 42" Smart TV from Argos (I hit that) or
    the HTC One free on a 6 mth contract from O2 (not so lucky with this one)

    EDIT
    Oh yeah, the Irish Rail parking discount code

    From a personal perspective, I'm delighted with the LG 42" Smart 3D TV from Argos @ €399.

    To pimp one of my own, this one disappeared without trace, but it offers great savings for minimal effort.

    If you're heading to the States in particular, check it out.

    3. 750gb hdd for £33 and free postage

    4. €34 Sony Ipod dock - sounds awesome.

    5. Free carmageddon on android, loved this back in the day !

    Eurovisionmad's thread for the £20 voucher code for Achica was my favourite. No minimum spend!
    I ordered a bunch of things that cost around £20 and only had to pay for Parcel Motel.
    It's a good example of a site honouring mistakenly free orders.
    If the thread got more attention I prolly wouldn't've got any of this stuff:
    • 5 mini whisky bottles
    • Tin of jellies
    • Salmon knife
    • Silver ring
    • Silver necklace
    • Pink pillowcases
    • Two rubber letter As
    • Bebemon bag (not in picture)

    The megabus for a £1 thread was the most memorable.
    Took me as long to get to California as it did with the looks ok on paper megabus route to glastonbury. Fun times.

    I was ordering something that cost around £18ish and I wanted to take that order slightly over £20 in case they were going to cancel all free orders.

    In the end, they shipped the As separately because they were available first, so I ended up paying an extra Parcel Motel charge :)

    Get the train quiet a bit and the Irish rail discount codes thread has saved me a lot over the year. Nobody mentioned that yet. Got loads of great offers though. Huge thanks to everyone who posts the deals they find.
