Fitting Out A New Home With Argos

I Am Getting A New House And It Needs To Be Completley Furnished. I Was Thinking Of Spending Approx £2000-£3000 In Argos. Is There Any Codes Or Is There Anyway That I Can Get Some Sort Of Discounts For Spending This Amount ?

I'm sure you could furnish a complete house with that amount of money at different shops to Argos and negotiate discounts because of what you need and the amount you wish to spend. I would just suggest you look around first before you commit£2 Coins Savings Club 2012 is £4

I agree. Don't simply walk into Argos and hand over a big list of codes because it is 'convenient'. You will probably find that you can get the same or similar items elsewhere for less money. First you need a list of what you want / need. Then do some research on the net looking at prices, delivery etc....and then go to some of the retail stores and see what they will offer you.Baby Year 1: Oh dear...on the move

I don't think that's a good Idea. IMHO, you can start your search from IKEABERT22 wrote:I Am Getting A New House And It Needs To Be Completley Furnished.

I can tell you one thing though! You spend that much at Argos, and they won't even offer you any discount or anything. They will be pleased to take your money but if you do want to furnish your house shop somewhere else!0

Dont forget shops like John Lewis that aren't always as expensive as you think - and price match (expecially electrical) and do free delivery. And if there are any problems with what you bought their customer service is brill.
Somewhere like that may be a good place to start for advice, even if you don't end up buying there, as all the staff are well trained and know the the quality manufacturers whos products last longer, eg mattresses which may oly last 12 months (cheap make) and should last 10 yrs.0 -
We furnished the Hotel with lots of Argos items as we needed everything in bulk! We managed to buy some of it when the £10 voucher deal was on, but we had to do separate orders of £100+ which was a real pain. Also they were crap with delivery of beds - we ended up getting some elsewhere but everything else was delivered quickly.
It was easy to sit with the catalogue and choose everything we needed and they do have a good range. Have fun shopping!0 -

So your house looks like it is from Ikea and of course one man and his dog does not shop there.
Look out for local shops that are going to have pre-christmas sales. As people soon are going in to present mode rather than buying washing machines and sofa mode. You might be able to get some bargains.

Tesco clubcard vouchers are worth more than face value at MFI

Min spend is £250 now.
So long as you spending loads should be ok there.
