    2 Shelf Shoe Storage Organiser with Piping - Natural - down to €6.99 from €20.99

    Good few in stock round country too.

    [sexist] Not bad value for the "wimmins" and their massive shoe collections! [/sexist]

    Anchorman Ron Burgundy Dress Up Kit €12.99
    (could also double as a suit for an interview)

    Zooka Bluetooth wireless speaker €37.49

    Wii U Premium 32GB Pack - Black with Nintendo Land Game €249.99. Only a few in stock at the moment though


    Just in case anyone's considering the Ron Burgundy outfit, it only includes the wig and moustache! Doesn't include the spiffy shirt and tie, which would be... "kind of a big deal" ;)

    I can't see why not, unless it would block it- but then again why would it if it is used with other steam cleaners.

    Argos Value Bread Bin - €11.49
    Don't laugh! For some reason bread bins are quite expensive in other shops. Even the cheapest new I could find on eBay came to €18+ with postage.

    I got the steam cleaner anyway. I'm going to steam up a storm later and report back results here :)

    Something I've noticed about alot of Argos so called bargains is they are not bargains at all. If you follow the link on all the bargains posted so far, you'll notice the asterix next to the price. At the end you'll see a previous selling price. Gimmicks if you ask me


    Ok maybe not everything I got the scales earlier

    Went and got the car hoover and weighing scales. Hoover is crap but for 8 quid I couldnt resist. At least the car is somewhat cleaner now!

    Got the Sound Asleep pillow myself.. the good reviews on Amazon swayed me, and it's actually quite decent and comfy too. Handy for listening to podcasts in bed. Cheers OP!

    Got the deep fat fryer myself, chips on the go all evening in the household:D
    Decent littler fryer for 20 euro, wont be used that much but handy to have knocking around the cupboards for that price.
    Thank you OP.

    Seems most weeks we have a bargain or two from Argos, thought it might be an idea to have a dedicated forum like the one for Tesco:-

    Sound Asleep Pillow - was € 39.99 - now € 11.99

    Morphy Richards Fastbake Breadmaker - was €159.99 - now €79.99.

    PAC-MAN Remote Controlled Man and Ghost Racers - was € 39.19 - now €19.59

    those pillows are a godsend

    I plugged it into my Nexus and it was only audible to someone when on full blast alright - but half way or so and I could hear it perfectly lying down, but not when upright or close to it.

    I don't know what you're incinuating.. all I use my bed for is sleeping, eating and maybe building a little fort. That's it! :pac:

    Yeah :) - Didn't see that, Was just random and good price. I won't be getting the Deep Fat Fryer.. (Not sure if I should be happy or angry about that.)
    Dont worry you wouldnt put on weight from that fryer anyway. I bought one a few months ago and it stopped working after the 1st use

    Did you bring it back to Argos for a refund ? I bought one today and hope it lasts longer than one use.
    19.99 or not, if it packs up on me within the 1 year warranty, i shall be back to argos with it.

    Maybe not weight. But the arteries certainly won't agree with that over time ;)

    What's the sound quality like on the speaker pillow? Better than that of a phone?

    I find that I have to turn my phone up quite loud when listening to podcasts because it sounds very thin.

    Yeah, wondering what the sound quality is like. It would probably annoy me more than anything if it was tinny.

    Have reserved the pillow to use with my iPod (order for collection). Cool idea so hopefully it'll do the job.

    If anyone is looking for an MP3 player to use with it, argos have this one on sale atm http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/1397530/Trail/searchtext%3EGREAT+OFFERS+ON+SELECTED+AUDIO.htm

    Can't personally report how good/bad it may be. :P

    http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10152&catalogId=14551&langId=111&productId=418356

    Herself has been going on about being a new camera, nothing too fancy, great price imo

    Anyone have one and happy with it? I could pick one up tomorrow but still feeling a bit reserved as to the quality of the speakers, and also if they play stereo stuff normally
