Ther've been so many. Argos honouring prices pretty much all the time once again ensures that they are a firm favourite around these parts. Some personal favs include the recent digital philips airfryer for €109 in PCW, Sandisk Ultra SSD, the WETEK android box, and the logitech K400 keyboard that was landed for less than a tenner.

What a time !

This was definitely my favourite 'scam'. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057350271

Technically it started on Boxing day but honestly never thought id say id meet the President of Argentina and watch Led Zeppelin, and drink whiskey with ice from a glacier.

Thanks one and all for posting up all the bargains, I missed most of them for a variety of reasons but it is lovely to see people getting them and then posting back about how they get on with their super duper bargain, I enjoy that too.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Happy with my €325 flights to San Francisco.
Other than that, the multiple Marvin 30-40% off 'first orders' were unkind to my waistband, but welcome all the same.
I also saved myself €72 by not having any interest in a remote control BB8 robot!
Would have loved to take advantage of the cheap South American flights, but dates didn't work for me.

Last year was the bargain basement ferry deal to St. Nazaire (RIP the ship), which worked out to be a great holiday, so BA is the gift that keeps giving.

I had forgotten about that one, €2 return to Wales really was some deal. Even better as I got it for the August Bank Holiday weekend

Would have also loved to grab the €350 flights to Argentina but hadn't the time, still a superb deal

Merry Christmas to you all, and a happy and healthy 2016.

I cannot remember any specific bargain, still loving my last year bargain of the steam cleaner! I buy a lot of bed linen and those Egyptian cotton towels when reduced, great value for the money! Boring but yeah... That's me.

I love finding a bargain and my local Argos store now know me! Actually speaking of which, my bargain is the 2 LED blossom trees!

Thanks for helping me when I put requests up, always get what I am looking for!

happy bargain hunting,
