    That dupont folding ladder for like 20 quid or something similar from Amazon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,081 ✭✭✭CWF


    Adidas Sl2 runners for €80, rep €130.

    The bargain I loved the most is the Steelseries mouse!

    The bargain I’m most disappointed in missing is the electric shaver for around a fiver…it would have been perfect for shaving my head!

    three plus €20 voucher for circle k. 20 quids free petrol, better than any discount day



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,482 ✭✭✭con747


    The fiver shaver by 4 and the Anker headphones for €12 by 3.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    The soundcore headphones for 30odd euro.. Had been putting off getting Bluetooth ones for ages and they've made life better!

    I remember the HP Touchpad about 10 or 15ish years ago? Does that count? Amazing deal that was.

    Likewise, I am loving my Google Pixel 8 and I bought 2 of the 10.4" Samsung Tablets, and both are still going strong today.

    PS I am on consecutive Day 78 Learning Italian on the Duolingo deal here… well, well worth it!

    Happy New Year!

    Savage. And I got the p20i for €16 for the young lad and they're unreal too for the price.

    I also got a 3 stage 4.8m ladder for €27 and a petrol hedge trimmer for €22.5. Cheated slightly as they're through work but a bargain all the same.

    didn’t get much this year but I got an Ireland training jersey and jacket for €35 delivered.

    Both holding up well.

    thanks to the op

    Thanks to all for alerting us of the many bargains in 24.

    For me, it was the pixel 8a...felt like a real bad ass picking up a "burner" esim to unlock the phone :-)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,543 ✭✭✭Masala


    Weber 2000 bbq from Woodies at €119 ……



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,661 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Probably not too exciting but got under €100 return flights from Knock to Tenerife in March a week or so back which I thought was solid value.

    €5 Razor was the winner of recent months though!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,238 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    The Steelseries mouse was the biggest saving for me. Most useful was the Pixel 7a from three.

    The Anker headphones for ~£10 were the best one I found, I'd say. Arrived before xmas too somehow!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 144 ✭✭Hideki99235


    The Ugg boots price error a few months back for €40 odd was a great spot.

    The other was the 80% off Ireland gear. The big winter jacket for about €20 doing some serious work the last couple weeks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42 BottomBurp


    The fiver electric shaver from Amazon, and the TCL phone for 120e with free tablet from Vodafone.

    Probably the Steelseries mouse? However I use it as a normal plugged in cable mouse and found the software for it a total pain. Having to create an account and sign in to change mouse settings they can gfo! Still as a vanilla mouse it works well and is lasting - did have my doubts originally.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 456 ✭✭myfreespirit


    Agreed - that was a real bargain.

    Thanks again to @savemejebus for the tip-off, am delighted with my bargain Pixel 8A 😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,207 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    €40 for a year of Spotify premium in the Family signup thread for me, didnt really get much else this year tbh.

    Special mention to GOMO, still chugging away with perfect service for €10 a month, powering my parents wifi in a 4G router for the same price aswell.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,083 ✭✭✭ablelocks


    fire tablets from Amazon resale - max tablet for about €110, 10" for about 48 and the 8" tablets for 20 something

    2. Lenovo T14 AMD for 599e thanks to some ridiculous 66% off flash sale (stumbled upon this myself)
    3. Garmin Epix watch 849 → 449 black friday (thank you @mad m )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 113 ✭✭OwlEye


     TENRYU Rayz integral RZI484S-L for €154 inc customs charges shipped from Japan.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,166 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    duo lingo family plan for €8 each a year is up there for me, the fiver shaver is great for the money works on face perfectly and almost perfect on head too

    The internet isn’t for everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,530 ✭✭✭dowtchaboy


    I got them - couldn't resist. Haven't even opened the box! I'll put it away with the bargain OnePot I got 2 or 3 years ago, possibly via BA.

    But yeah…. the best this year has been the Pixel8a - thank you @savemejebus !

    The soundcore Q30 for 11 euro was great value but the Pixel 8a for €250 has been fantastic so yeah that would be my choice for best bargain.
