    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    €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.

    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.
