    Happy Christmas all, it's been a pleasure moderating (that probably sounds strange).
    Best thread was nespresso machine in Debenhams

    Thanks OP, bought two!

    And thanks to all who posted bargains this year. I never knew I needed so much weird and wonderful crap!

    Happy Christmas all :)

    Any chance we could have a NO CHAT merry Christmas thread.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Happy Christmas & all the best for 2018 :)

    Thanks to all who contributed & highlighted bargains :cool:

    As for bargain of the year, I'm slightly biased but for me it was the 3/4" socket set from Halfords https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=102458330&postcount=648 which was reduced from €300/€150 to €30, I paid €27 which was the bargain of the decade :D

    The cheap Maglite torches from Halfords were also great value.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭McMurphy


    Have a happy and safe Christmas this year all my fellow bargain alert posters.

    My favourite bargain of 2017 had to be the mavic pro I bought back in July followed closely by the Google home.

    Merry Christmas to all. My bargains of the year had to be the €27 socket set, the €6 screwdriver set from Halfords, and the maglites.

    An honourable mention must got to the vast amount of random crap posted by Suckit, much of which is slowly winging it's way to me now


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,572 ✭✭✭Colser


    Thanks everyone especially suckit...love getting stuff I've forgotten about like 2 lots of aveeno samples this week..the naked palette from Debenhams and the head phones are wrapped and ready to be given as presents tomorrow.

    Bah Humbug


    Thanks for making life that little bit cheaper filled with more junk i don't need!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,860 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    Deal of the year for me was the "Free Revolut Physical Card" which extended my Revolut for another 3 years and upgraded my card to a new contactless card

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057794659

    As usual Revolut is the deal of the decade :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,380 ✭✭✭5500


    Thanks to all the contributors across the forum for posting your alerts, I hope some of you made trifle out of those bowl size sockets! I think those, the dewalt impact driver and Nikon camera were probably best of the year, here's to many more in 2018!

    ^ What he said!
    And:

    He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

    And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,

    And laying his finger aside of his nose,

    And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

    He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

    And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

    But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—

    “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

    Happy Christmas to you all, another one to love the Revolut Card, best thing about traveling and online shopping to be honest.

    I only ever buy my bed linen on Argos at vastly reduced prices, so we're all safe and warm!


  • Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Some half price sets and 3/2 deals at the moment.

    -opps this is supposed to be in the halfords socket thread
