Good deal at the moment if your looking for a trampoline. Its in B&Q. Price reduced from £99 to £79. However you can pick up a free magazine in B&Q which contains money off vouchers. Has one in it for £25 off this trampoline for £54 in total.

Official MoneySavingExpert.com Insert:

£79 for an 8ft trampoline with enclosure is one of the best prices we've seen. Yet keep your eyes peeled in the garden sections of B&Q stores for a free B&Q Gardens 09 voucher brochure, which includes a voucher for £25 off this specific trampoline taking its price down to £54.

Not all stores have the magazines in them and, if you do manage to find one the voucher expires 30 July, so only go if you'd be happy to buy it at £79. If you find one though, you're quids in!

    What a bargain! I paid about £120 for this trampoline at B&Q about 6 weeks ago...
  • Before anybody buys a trampoline, a word of advice. Check if your kids friends have them and how big they are.

    I bought the Asda ten footer a month ago for my kids, because they kept on about wanting a trampoline. It took me over three hours to build, and I think they've been on it half a dozen times since.

    Fair enough I thought - the weather hasn't been great, but last weekend I heard all this laughing and bouncing coming from two doors down - they were all on their mate's TWELVE foot trampoline.

    You have been warned.

    ... and lots of people in Lutz's position are now selling them on cheap. I got a 10ft with enclosure, barely a year old, for £60 from my newsagents window! And they brought it round!
  • the brochure also states that it comes with a cover so if you go to the customer services desk and point it out to them you should get a free £5.98 cover for it too as it's a misprint and not included with the trampoline.

    I bought this trampoline for £79 at the end of last summer and can't recommend it highly enough. My two daughters (aged 2 and 5) go on it practically every day (weather permitting) and the weight limit is 100kg (much more than most trampolines of this size) so even I can go on it! Total bargain.

    I went round 3 b&q's a couple of weekends ago and no brochures left. when I asked the staff they said all gone. Please can anyone in the West sussex area let me know if they have come across any!?
    Thanks

    I bought 8 foot one 5 years ago when they started for £30 in Toys r us ( used loods of discount vouchers)
    My 3 kids use it every day if they don`t bounce on it , they play on it or under it, with their dolts or our dog. People a few doors down have the 10 foot one and their kids are never there as theirs is about 15 meters away from the house.
    The key is to have it quite close to your house, they don`t like to walk to it too far.
    My kids jumped on the bigger one and they think 8 foot one ( our one) is much better as the bigger ones don`t bounce as much.

    It has been worth every penny, best thing I ever bought for the as it gets used ever such a lot. :T
  • Just got one of the B&Q 8 foot trampolines with the enclosure in their Stirling store. I picked up a brochure from a metal container in the outdoor Garden Centre area, found the voucher and got it for an amazing £54. The sales assistant had a bit of bother getting the voucher to work, but I had checked the T&Cs on the back and I knew that it was valid. She eventually worked it out! Have been looking for one at the right price for a few months so I was delighted to get this one at the lowest price I have seen by about £20. Well done MSE.

    Went to my local huge B&Q, found the brochure immediately and made swiftly for the trampolines. They had an 8ft one on display, and boxes and boxes of 12ft jobs, but not 8ft in stock. They wouldn't let us have the display one either.:rolleyes:
    They checked the stock in another local shop but they have none either.
    Apparently, they've had them on order for two weeks.
    Looks like I may have to miss out on this one. :(
