Previous price £4.49, save 49p, not half price.

It does say half price on the Argos website. Previous price £8.99. But in reality, does it matter? It's a bargain and the OP should be thanked for posting it.
I think it does matter and I appreciate Sooler and bazzyb for pointing it out. Its not a "bargain" if a 6% saving is masquerading as a 50% saving. Retailers have become adept at this kind of slight of hand.

Is there a point you're making?
That link shows the price used to be £4.49. Its now £4. A 49p saving.

Yes it does.
Rather subjective, but I disagree that 49p off in the "big sale" is truly a bargain, hence my original comment on the thread.
The link shows it was £8.99.
