Argos Chat Thread #1

Mr.Crinklewood · 2014-01-03 22:33:30

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.

Very few left, i got 2 b4 christmas for €6 as the Doctor Who+The Beano are sold out now.

It was funny when i gave them the annuals, as the nephew already got the beano but wouldnt let his sister read it, until she got her very own copy

Looking at a new Tv either the 40inch Hititachi smart tv posted or this Samsung http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/2474232/Trail/searchtext>5+DAY+DEALS+AT+ARGOS.htm.

Wondering which would be best to go for? Anyone get either TV?

Samsung would be considered a better brand but that samsung tv is only hd ready, whereas the hitachi is full hd. For that price I would go for the hitachi.

I would just like to thank the poster who posted earlier in the year about the 'me to you' bear. It was a boxed bear with a jewellery set.
I gave it to my niece yesterday, her reaction was amazing.
Thank you.

i bought one two hours ago and it was the correct model and has netflix and other smart tv apps

pretty decent for 299
its a little thicker than i expected but otherwise great

note: you will need to have a Ethernet cable or buy the wifi dongle for smart tv stuff

On a separate but related note, does anyone know whether Argos are likely to restore that €10-vucher-when-you-spend-€100 deal in the next few days? I have 2x €165 Moto G's reserved for collection and I'd hate to go and pick them up today and then find out that if I'd only waited 'til Monday I coulda had €20 back in vouchers...

Nothing about it on their website, naturally enough...

Would have thought that was only for Christmas and not for their "Sales".

I had a €5 voucher and picked up a kitchen weighing scales ( which I actually needed as my old one died on Xmas eve) for €3.99 and an annual reduced to 99cent. Not sure if those are any interest to you

That is a very good value - surprised they put 8GB Ram in it.

Definitely a bargain for general use, non-gaming laptop.
