How do you beat the retailers??

Options
It is amazingly difficult to pin down a bargain before it goes up or down further!!

e.g.

Dolce Gusto by Krups Argos £89.99 normal to £44.99 discounted and £35.99 for 23rd / 24th only. Now £59.99 !!!




How do you follow the bargains, for something in mind and decide when to take the plunge before missing out??

    Amazon's fluctuating prices are even worse....:mad:
    There's nothing more infuriating than missing out on an offer because I 'ummed' and 'ahhhed' about it for too long.

    So I just decide what is an acceptable price for me, and buy whatever it is. Then I won't miss out if the price goes up or it goes OOS. If the price goes down a bit further, so be it.

    Some of the big players are like sheep so it's who takes the lead first and others follow!!!

    Price match / price promise / distance selling / 30 day returns are possible get out of "I've paid too much for this like a mug!!" card!!
