cheapest ipad 2 ?

Hi my friend has asked me to order him an ipad 2 for his daughter for Christmas but I am having trouble finding anything less than £399 unless it's ebay (and I know he will be suspicious of that!) is there any discounts I can combine to make it any cheaper? Many thanks ;)
Oh no, not you again!:money:

    I just bought an ipad 2 for my sister this Christmas. I got it for £374 this is after the cashback..

    i got one recently for £380 + free p&p online from tesco but think the deal has ended, if you go through a cash back site you may get a deal about the same amount. the ipad seems to retail at the same price everywhere thats what i found anyway

    Viking Direct are selling them for £397.80 with 9.09% cashback from TCB - that's just under £362.

    Only thing I've bought from them was a HP printer last month - arrived fairly quickly and cashback is currently tracked.

    YMMV.
  • do you know anyone employed by Iceland...they can get a 10% discount on the Comet website via an employee scheme.
    if it sounds good all you have to do is trace one of 20,000 employees to get you one... not sure if this helps or hinders you
    cheapest is £399 less £39.90

    If you are getting 10% cashback from Viking, why do you need to find somebody in Iceland? Btw are you or your friend employed there? Coz i see many of your are posts regarding this?

    Ive been finding it increasingly difficult to find an ipad2 for any less than £399, im wary of buying off ebay. Also apple dont do student discount on Ipads, think i may just have to bite the bullet and pay £399 for what i know will be a good quality item!
