Best Bargain of 2021

GalwayGaillimh

Just a big thank you and Happy Xmas to all the posters on the Bargain Alert forum

Im curious as to what you think your best bargain of 2021 was?

For myself probably was the cheap Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G from Vodafone for 69.99 but I'm getting ongoing pleasure from the cheap Tidal, Youtube Premium and Netflix subscriptions :-)

Del007

The Google pixel 4a for €99, hell ya

Esse85

Lots of stuff that was posted in the Amazon thread, from shower gels, tripods etc

Treppen

The Tile trackers for €7 including postage. I should have bought a bucket of em.

Find my keys at least once a week.

Got a decent phone from Vodafone offer. Got a couple of cheap Tiles, some nice cheap colouring pencils and markers for Xmas.

Lots of Amazon bargains but luggage from Adamson's (I think that's what it was called) was pretty great too.

The Sennheiser euros discount deal was great

Roberto_gas

Free garmin watch from Amazon !

The six months of zero vat applied <~£20 purchases, particularly from Amazon.

The Cross pens thread from all the way back on 1st January had all the hallmarks of a classic BA.

Premium product that you didn’t know you needed but instantly found the urge to buy, ultimately utterly unnecessary but a discount too good to be ignored, the discovery that codes could be stacked leading to 75% off, confusion, will they/won’t they dispatch, a lesson in the reality of post brexit VAT/duty situation, cancelled orders, some anger and eventually, resignation. Top quality drama.

I was one of the lucky ones to actually get my pen and I’ve been using it daily since.

mr_edge_to_you

The Cross pens was my one hit wonder. I love my pen.

The Times €5 annual subscription that appeared on Black Friday was an impulsive buy because it was so cheap and I've read the site and app everyday since super bargain

The HBO Max Carribbean/Latin America thread has been great too, I didn't sign up to it until after the 50% discount expired but I'm pretty happy I've still got a Brazil 4k annual subscription for €39

As already mentioned SSport+ has been BA of the year for me, Sennheiser Euro 2020 discounts were stupid good value too while it lasted

The Google Stadia was great as I was going to buy a Chromecast anyway

The Asus laptop from Littlewoods was perfectly timed for my dad’s birthday and saved me spending twice as much

And the little USB fan from Amazon was really handy during the summer for €8 or whatever it was.

Pixel 4a @ €99 was one of the best and the stadia for €22. Lots of bits and pieces on amazon up till June when the VAT was being removed.

Best steal was a Lenovo G5 desktop i5 10400, 16gb Ram, 512gb M2 drive and a GTX 1660 Super graphics card for €329! The graphics card alone would cost about €500 in the current market.

Yea long gone was back in May was only up for an hour before it sold out. Was sure it would be cancelled as a miss price. Normal price was about €900 it had dipped to the €600 mark a few times. Lenovo pricing yo yo's a lot and there can be great deals.
