Just following on from some of the thanks in the Udemy thread, many thanks to all the posters who contribute to Bargain alerts every day. Here’s to a happy and healthy new year with hopefully many more bargains to come! Please give a special mention to the threads which were your bargain of the year.

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

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

The cheap Maglite torches from Halfords were also great value.

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

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

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!
