bubbles0169

i was trying to find the bridesmaid dress that id had my eye on on ebay, it was £85 which was over my £50 budget but after more overtime from me and OH we can up our budget so was going to get them
so i type in the colour i want and come across brand new, never been worn, bhs dresses £25!
they have loads of different ones in different sizes and luckily all the ones i needed
it was buy it now or best offer so i thought ill offer £22, i have nothing to lose, ill snatch their hand at £25 lol
and they accepted the offer! plus p&p of £4 for first dress and £2/ dress after
so ive got 5 x bridesmaid dresses, brand new, my perfect colour for £122!!!!!

so what absoloute bargains have you got? i know you can get 1000 organza favour bags for £1 or the like (or there abouts lol)but what true bargains have you got?
did you haggle the venue to half price or find your perfect dress at the perfect price?
what was it? where from? and how much did you save?:D

Well done on finding your dresses!
My shoes were a bargain: £4.79 from Priceless (for a plain ivory faux leather court shoe), round toe and perfect heel height. Nothing fancy, my dress is fancy enough
Just what I needed, I'm breaking them in everytime I get a chance.

My true bargain has to be the jewellery sets I bought for my three bridesmaids from Boots. I'd seen them a while back at £12 for the set of earrings and necklace (pearl and diamante). Decided to use my advantage card points when I saw that jewellery was on 3 for 2 (sould would have used 2400 points just sat there). Got to the till and they went through on 3 4 2, but at £2 each set AND then 3 4 2! 3 sets of jewellery for £4.... I paid proper hard cash and saved my points.... H2B even offered to pay lol! Not sure who was more shocked at the price- me or the sales assistant!

And then there's one pair of bridesmaid shoes that the SA incorrectly discounted- she was meant to discount by 10%, but ended up charging ME 10%!!!

And my Dune shoes reduced to £59 from £100

My dress down to £365...... I LOVE A BARGAIN!!

Ive got a few bargains so far:

Wedding dress in a sample sale reduced from £900 to £200. It does need to be cleaned first but still- its lovely but theres no way I could have spent that much on it.

Shoes for in the evening- got on ebay 99p plus £5 postage.

My bridesmaids dresses- werent reduced but I saw them on my mums catalogue at a bargain of £35 each (after moaning to my mum I was going to have to increase my £80 each budget as I hadnt seen anything I liked!!)

Flower girl dress- half price at bhs £20.

My latest bargain was the wonderbra ulimate lace strapless bra the cheapest ive seen it on offer is about £28, went to my local outlet village the other day and it was £20.

I love a bargain, its definately worth having a look around and waiting for discount codes- sounds like everyone has got a few fab bargains.:D

My Maggie Sottero dress, sample sale, original price tag £1000, reduced to £300.... then SA says "Take it today, we need the space & it's your's for £100" Never used my debit card so quickly!!

It's going to be cleaned, even though it's not dirty, just can't wear it knowing other people have tried it on, but still an absolute bargain!

My wife and daughter went to an auction last week.

They came back with 17 (yes 17!) men's morning suits (ex hire), 6 prom style dresses (brand new, with tags, priced between £150 and £200 all marked down to half price) and 2 wedding dresses (not tagged but look new, possibly window display - one of which looks straight out of "Gypsy Wedding" and must be worth at least £2000).

£75 the lot :money:.

So far we have kitted out 5 blokes (I got first pick ), wife has MOTB outfit and evening gown, 2 daughters with evening wear and bride to be now has a choice of 3 wedding dresses.

I asked the wife if it is what she would have chosen for her outfit and she said if she had seen it marked down to £80 in the shop she would have bought it. Coordinated with a charity shop hat and handbag and she's good to go :T
