Buy the Argos ones instead. You can take them back if the quality is poor.

I already ordered mine (yesterday), but wouldn't have got the Argos ones as a substitute as they are for gifts. I would give a set of towels from Debenhams (or M&S/HOF etc) but not Argos. I don't know why really, I guess it's maybe a form of snobbery. If they were good quality I would buy them for myself but not as a gift. No offence to Argos.

p.s. these are still in stock if anyone wants the pink ones:

Here are the individual white towels - so the £12 6-piece bale would cost £55 if bought separately!!!!! :eek:

I called my mum tonight and told her about the offer and she said that M&S have been doing the bale for ages for £7.50!!

Rained on my parade and she's right!!!

So I have now duly bought the bale from M&S for £5 cheaper than Debenhams- just when you think you've covered all the MSE tricks!

I have no idea what they are like though. Someone posted this on here yesterday.

The good thing about Debenhams is that they provide free returns.

Once my Debenhams towels arrive, I'll pop down to M&S to have a look at their towel bales. If the M&S towels are the same / better quality than the Debenhams towels, I'll just return the Debenhams towels.

I got a couple of these towel bales instore at Debs last week, they were either £15 each or 2 for £20, so I got 2 making them just £10 each.

They also had other bales which were (according to the sales rep) seasonal stock, that said reduced from £50 to £20 on the price ticket, but really they seemed very very similar & no better than the value ones. I'm happy to have got the values ones instead; they're lovely & twice as many towels for the same money!

Got a bale of these some time ago for Granddaughter, who is setting up home for the first time. It was Debs last sale before Christmas I think, but much the same price as now. She absolutely loves them - lovely fluffy towels and very absorbent.

I have seen the cheaper bales in both Debs and M&S, neither are Egyptian cotton (nor are the Argos ones). The Egyptian cotton ones are thicker and look like they will last a lot longer. Cheap towels are a false economy imho. My mum still has towels that she received as wedding presents!
