    Argos - this says £119.99 online but in store the price today was £91.99. However, since I had 3 for 2 problems last weekend (Argos computer system was playing up) the manager kindly let me buy 3 for 2 = £61.36.


    Which is a pretty good price. Apparently Argos have told their store managers to allow 3 for 2 pricing to continue on toys if the customer experienced problems online with the Black Friday 3 for 2 deal.


    Turn on the charm if you are sassy enough to go try it and need some toys.

    Hi looking at doing a very similar shop myself but I'm unsure how the brand guarantee works with conditional spends. I've got a 6 off 40 and a 3 off 20 so using the example of the Faustino six bottles are £45 can I use my 6 off 40 before the BG kicks in or would I need a higher original total IYSWIM. I will remember fillers to make up the 10 different items.

    I am sorry but I don't know as I haven't done many BG shops:o, but I am sure there will be others on here who are experts at it!:)

  • Bailey's is on offer for £10 1l in A, so I am compiling a T shop with some wine (the last thing we need) comparing against A Casillero del Diablo I've got a £7 off £50 plus a £4 off £40.
    They'll be almost paying me to take it away haha.


    Make sure Savvy hears about it lol

    My knee B...... hurts!:(:(

    I feel slightly better though because T. let me have my favourite Faustino wine for about £3.12 a bottle:D

    My brand guarantee results haven't come through on the checking system yet, but I can tell from the discount on my online shop receipt, that it compares very well to A.

    It is comparing at full price before the 25% reduction, so,
    £7-50 x6 =£45 comparing to £30 A. giving a £15 brand match. (Unfortunately it is not comparing to the offer A. 6 for £25 price):)

    There would appear to be some other wines that compare well, but I haven't had a proper look as I am happy with my Faustino!

    Thank you to one of my FB friends for the tip off!:beer::beer:


    wasnt you who had cleared the wine i wanted this morning then.:D:rotfl:.hope the pain goes soon for you.oh has had 3 knee ops but i think a new one will be the long term solution.

    I paid £1.40 each for the right guards, but showing as £1.67 was paid and no trigger on the comparison.
    SHU82 thank you for trying them all out. the right guard is 3 for £5 so that shows up correctly on the apg, did you buy more than 3 ?

    I bought just 3 and used the floral one as the trigger :D

    Do you think this will work all day today or are price changes around lunch time?

    Just to say that I am thinking of all the people on here with medical problems. I feel quite ashamed to say that my only problem is exhaustion but I am slowly able to catch up now. Hugs to all.
