Argos 3 for 2 on all toys

  • Wanted to buy 3 Vtech software games which on website says 3 for 2 - so put them in my trolley and the only discount was buy 1 get 2nd half price. So I phoned CS who weren't sure if they were included as it's software not toys!!! Told to empty my trolley and check again in an hour!! About as much use as a chocolate teapot (they were very polite though)

    I went in store first thing and it was pretty much empty. Got Lego star was advent calendar, dino lego and a monstors lego and it came to £49.98 so the lovely lady on the till let me give a 2p charity donation to make it £50. I then got a £5 voucher and bought 3 of the crayola twistable sets that are half price anyway at £7.48 for just under £10, perfect for kids party pressies!:j
  • just back from collecting my reservations i made last night 3 in total
    no 1 total spent £84.98 free toy worth £34.99 and £5 gift card

    any chance of telling us what you got - i've reserved things to collect but don't know if im getting a great deal tbh?

    I can't work out how best to get the deal - I want a jake pirate ship but its £49.99 - everything else i would like to go with it is £34.99 or less - so doesn't seem much of a bargain iykwim - i've carp at math so can't work out the best way?
    cheers

    I would try and go for 3 equal priced things and then maybe save the voucher for money off the jake pirate ship. I wanted to get that for my son too but cant really justify £50 on it. I'm hoping there will be a good deal on it at some point :)
