Bargain Alerts Competition - Win a €50 One4All Voucher

Boards.ie: Mark

We're giving away four €50 One4All vouchers in Bargain Alerts!

We know you all love a good bargain! Now, we want to reward a few of you eagle-eyed bargain hunters who spend a little bit of time and effort on Bargain Alerts to save the rest of us some money.

If you've found yourself thinking, "Wow, that's a bargain and a half" while browsing the net or out shopping, here's your chance to be rewarded for your bargain hunting skills. We have a €50 One4All voucher to give away every week in October to the person who posts the best bargain to the Bargain Alerts forum.

While you'll have more chances to win by posting multiple bargains, the winners will be those who track down a really great deal. The community will pick the winners, with the most thanked bargain alert taking the voucher each week. So be sure to show your appreciation to the best bargain hunters.

Terms:
- winner will be the bargain that is most thanked, regardless of what other posts might have more thanks;
- bargain must be posted between Monday at 00.00 and Sunday at 23.59 to be in the competition for that particular week;
- the bargain posted must be a new bargain - don't be cheeky by posting a cracker from last month!;
- winners will be announced on the following Monday (10th, 17th, 24th October, 1st November after the bank holiday);
- no canvassing for thanks, we want to reward genuine bargains;
- in the case of a tie, the bargain with the greater saving will be deemed the winner;
- winners will be contacted via PM and asked for address details to post prize to.

Tescos have 5 mix and match cds and dvds for €10

Credo & Firehouse Pizzas do 2-1 deals via their websites (and you can make it vegan at no extra cost).

All the IMC cinemas do Student Tuesdays with €5 tickets and medium popcorn & a drink for an extra €3.

Govinda's on Aungier Street do €1 food boxes at 9 to clear out all of their leftovers (and it's really good food).

Tola & Dublin Vintage have publicly advertised Kilo Sales where each bag goes for €20 (sometimes the contents can be pretty valuable).

Shauna's Pet Shop do 3 tubs of live food for a tenner and will run you deals on freezer stock if they get to know you.

These are all my go-to bargains anyway!

There seems to be decent discounts on the Lego ranges on Amazon at the moment, coupled with the significant drop in GBP in recent days makes it very good value. Make sure to pay in GBP as the Amazon conversion rate is always worse. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_2_4?url=search-alias%3Dtoys&field-keywords=lego&sprefix=lego%2Caps%2C142&rh=n%3A468292%2Ck%3Alego

Some great bargains above, but make sure you post them in the main Bargain Alerts forum so that they have greater visibility - either in the relevant Superthread or as a standalone thread.

Hey!

Are you a man? Or a hairy lady?

Check out The Bearded Colonel - razor blades delivered to your door. I got them a few weeks ago, there is an offer on your first purchase, £5 off when normally £10, for the handle and 4 blades.
But it changed £5 to €5 for me delivering to Ireland, when converting to GBP it cost me £3.30 total!

The blades are easily as good as Fusion I had been using before, a cracking bargain!

AccessAW should be considered for one of these for sure. He might not get the most thanks, but his daily posts on the free courses are such a brilliant resource, that he deserves recognition for. As posted there today:

there should be some sort of boards.ie awards system for people like AccessAW who go out of their way, each and every day to do something that provides no personal gain but significant community gain. Not only do I get direct benefit from this work, but people I manage are materially improving their careers and it's directly because of this tread....
From me >> Sincere and genuine thanks

As a college student born in Cavan I have evolved to become quite a thrifty person and right now I'm full of hints and tips on how to grab bargains. Although I can't give you exact bargain at the minute here are my hints and tips regarding saving money:

1. Apps and new technology all the way: Download apps which can help you by comparing prices or apps that help you find things for cheap. Download the uniphi nights app for guestlist (ie free in) to different clubs in Galway or depop which allows people to sell things they don't need anymore usually for quite reasonable prices.
I'm a strong believer in the phrase: 'one man's trash is another man's treasure.'

2. Aldi/ Lidl: and their 'super six' offer- specific fruit and veg. for 39c! In any supermarket reach for the own brand products, they tend to be cheaper.

3. Charity shops: never ever underestimate the power of charity shops. You can find anything and everything in there. People often have a certain sigma with second hand items but some of my favourite clothes to wear have come from charity shops.

4. Online shopping: often online shopping can be cheaper than buying in shops but when you're doing this make sure you do your research and shop around!

Overall these are the tips I live on, follow these and you'll easily be able to afford all your needs and wants! Hope ye have a nice bargainy week

It's a Sunday so a lot of people will be looking for some kind of takeaway food to cure their hangover.

Marvin have started a new deal called the mega box deal with a selection of fast food places in different cities for example here is the galway selection :

All these available for 8 euro

https://www.marvin.ie/megabox-galway/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=boost&utm_campaign=megabox-galway

There should be a decent selection in your closest city.

If you are lucky enough to live in Waterford then they have a 5e feast deal running for October as well

https://www.marvin.ie/feasts-waterford/

Also they run a system where you order from a place 10 times and you get your next order free to the average value of your orders. Handy for anyone who orders take aways a fair bit. Hopefully I've made someone's Sunday hangover a bit less of a pain

We have our first winner!

Congratulations to Stonebabies who offered advice on how to travel to Lapland on a budget. It looks like a lot of you were just waiting to get into the spirit of Christmas (which means the Christmas forum could be about to get a whole lot busier!)

This was the runaway winner, but there were some other tempting bargains, such as the ALDI Super 6 Deal and some free Udemy courses.

There are still three more €50 One4All vouchers up for grabs. The second week of the competition is now underway, so get out there and find those bargains

shame it went to someone with little previous (and probably no future) contribution to the site, let alone the BA forum.

Great Idea Boards!!! Keep it up !!! congrats to the winner!

The winner of week 2 has been determined...

*Drum Roll*

Congratulations to AccessAw who posted a range of free Udemy courses on October 11th. If you missed out on the free deals that day, you may be interested to hear that AccessAw updates this thread daily with a host of new deals.

There are still two more One4All vouchers to be won. Keep your eyes peeled for a stellar bargain!

Thank you very much to Boards.ie and to all who thanked the post I hope there will be plenty more courses to come....Thanks again...
