argos' banana leaf baskets (pack of three) are 1/2 price at £7.49 but they are buy one get one free :j linky This makes each basket only £1.24 ~ ideal for next year. But be quick these will no doubt be reserved quickly ~ remember to add 2 to your basket to get the free one reserved for you :)

    I must be doing something wrong. Managed to find them at £7.49 but when I ordered them twice the price went back to £14.99............I'd have to have them delivered as well and that's another £4.95...............oh eck

    If you add 3 to the basket it shows as £4.99 total so this would be 9 baskets !

    Add 6 to basket and it is £9.98 so this would be 18 baskets.
    Add 9 sets and the total is £14.97 which would be 27 baskets !
    Best go for home delivery so they don't notice

    and if you add 6 to your basket they are 9.98 meaning 18 baskets 55p each :j and they would be 55p too if you order 9 baskets/three packs

    I can't cope with the maths but it costs less for 6 packs than it would for 2? Did I drink too much sherry? Anyway I ordered them lol I wanna play baskets!

    i think there is a 'problem' on the website. If you want the cheaper way (ie 9 baskets for £4.99) i would pay the £4.95 delivery charge and have them delivered If you reserve three then chance it in store tommorow you may be asked to pay the extra. Although saying that i suppose argos direct reserve the right to send out the items if full payment hasnt been made ~ i dont know :rotfl:

    typical my first 'bargain' post and argos messes up :D

    I can't believe how amazing you are at hunting down bargains already! I have so much to learn from you :D

    At the back of my mind is the knowledge that there's no way I'll know where those baskets are next Christmas, I probably won't even remember buying them! Happy days heh x
