Did you get any great bargains lately?

That is so cool! I got a bbq for my birthday - actually my parents paid for part of it as my gift and i paid for the rest. It was on sale last week for 300 dollars off and its a really really nice bbq. I've gotten some good deals on groceries but other than my bbq (which i am so loving) nothing really really awesome recently.

nothing like that! that's an awesome bargain! I'm just trying to make ends meet without ripping the bank open again

That is a great bargain, good looking out. I love getting bargains too. I am hoping in a few weeks that my mom and I will get to go to the flea markets. Its about a 3 1/2 hour drive from here. I love finding bargains there, plus its fun to just look around. Its a nice day trip for us.

Nice topic, and the cost of the chair is a bargain... I'm sure in the cold of winter which might not be all that cold who knows anymore? Well the heater might be nice if you can afford the electricity. When is a bargain not a bargain? Hmmm?

Sounds like a great bargain to me! There are a lot of yard sales around here and some of them have pretty good stuff. So good in fact that the city council is trying to figure out how to make people get permits and pay fees in order to have a yard sale. Is that ridiculous, or what? You might like the heater in a few months ;-)

Wow, you have a swap show on the radio?! That's pretty cool! I haven't bought anything for months so I haven't gotten any bargains--wait, I just thought of those yummy ribs I got at the grocery! I absolutely love barbecued ribs but I never can cook them right and the prepared ones are so expensive. So when I saw some prepared ones marked down to $3.99, I grabbed 'em! Four wonderful meals later, they were gone and it was a great bargain as well as a rare treat!

I got a very ironic, but nice, bargain the other day. Recent construction in Guelph as totally screwed up the transportation system, meaning that the bus no longer stops outside of my apartment. I can't walk to the temporary stop, because it's too far, so I need to use a wheelchair on some days (it's up a HILL!!!) and I pay $2.50 for the special Mobility van to pick me up at my door, on other days that I want to go out. Now, for the van, I needed a doctor to say that I was physically challenged enough not to be able to wlak to the bus stop. My regular doc is on vacation, and while health care is free, it costs money for them to fill out forms. I needed a doctor to fill out the form I'd submit to the bus company. Now, there was a $20 charge for that. Being the end of the month, I did NOT have cash on me I would on Friday, but the appt was Wednesday. I thought I'd just put it on my Visa. No one said it was cash only. Well, I got there, and they don't take Visa. This AFTER the doctor had already filled out the form, and all. LOL AARRGGHH!!! The lady behind the counter was nice, and asked if I had "any cash at all." I had $5. They took that, and told me not to worry about the rest. I'd call that the best bargain I've ever received.

Good for y'all, sounds like u really got a bargain. I would like to find one like that. Mine has about seen it's better days. I use to go to alot of sales but don't get to anymore. U would be surprised at some things u find.

That is a good deal! I am glad you got it. In the previous county I lived in we had one of those radio swap shops but here in the new county I am not quite sure. I will have to check into it. I do belong to the local free cycle forum for the county but I am never lucky enough to get to the deals in time. Glad you got you a good deal!

That is a great bargain! Bet you're wishing it had air conditioning too though...lol.

i aint found any lately but am on the look out.

Because i have not shoped big issues recently, so i don't think i got any great bargain lately. however i do find the food price is down a lot in the UK recently. I bought a very big water melon what was from France, it just cost me £1.74, the original price was £3.48. Compared to last year, the water melon price is down more than half price. Also today i found the butter and yogurt prices are 10% down roughly. it's a good signal. it means the food cost will down for a while. after one year of living in the UK, i learnt to shop when they are on sale. sometimes the sale can be less half price. it's not bad. i feel i'm a clever customer when i buy something on sale as well as to collect points.

I guess the greatest bargain that I got would be from a mall in my place. They had sale on anything and everything in it (though % of deduction depends on the item) me and my husband was able to find a wooden cabinet, a queen size uratex bed and a queensize bed frame, a washing machine, 2 standfan, rice cooker, double burner stove and a portable dvd player with screen and all we got to pay is 250$. its a good bargain.

Well recently i bought a lot of toys , food , clothes from internet which i think are really bargains . The things bought from internet is much cheaper than in the supermarket while they are in the same brand and of the same quality. i enjoy website shopping quite much .

That is a great buy on the recliner! I recently found a Leather Coach Handbag for $5.00 at the Goodwill store. Hubby rolled his eyes when I brought it in.

Hi GG yes I certainly got a bargain the other Day lol I needed a new Printer and have done for a long time, so I was waiting till I had the Money I just went to browse in PC World (Computer Shop) and there they had a Printer original Price $90, it was reduced to $30 so I got it, I didn't really have the spare money but I was not letting that go through my Hands lol and the Printer is great

I love this discussion lol.I am a great bargain hunter.I love to go yard saleing,thrift stores,liquidator stores,flea markets,etc.I went to a yard sale last Saturday and found me several pairs of Liz Claibourne pants for 50 cents a piece.I went to one of the local thrift shops the other day and found a computer with windows xp for $50.Anywhere a bargain is that is where I want to be.

gigantic cat "tree" for free. somebody was moving and asked if we wanted it for our cats (hells yes). they're having fun with it right now.

That sounds wonderful. I would love a recliner like that, and you really did get a fantastic price. The best bargain I got recently was a $30.00 ceramic hair straightner at Target on clearance for $8.88. My daughter had wanted a new straightner for her very curly hair, but I told her she had to wait until pay day, then I saw this one for $8.88 and she ended up getting right away, that price was just way to good to pass up and it was something we wanted. She has not used it yet so hopefully it works goo.

The best bargain that I got lately was on a Toshiba laptop. 3 G's with Word and Excel already loaded for just under $500. Got it at Walmart. When my friend learned about the deal that I got, she went down and they were already sold out the next day.
