Just because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
HOW TO SAVE MONEY AT ARGOS
There are a lot of ways to save money while shopping at the retail giant.
Checking for other vouchers and coupons can be a great way to discover hot deals.
It is always worth looking up at Argos’ website because there may be a voucher or code that will get you a discount.
Argos has a webpage dedicated to voucher codes which are valid on top of any discounts that might already be applied.
At the moment, the retailer is running at least 15 different promo codes across a plethora of electronic goods and home appliances that could get you some discount.
It is also worth checking The Sun’s vouchers to get the best discounts while shopping at the retail store.
Another way to save money at Argos is to shop in the clearance section.
The big yellow part of the website is where the retailer discounts the last few products in ranges that aren’t going to be restocked.
While the products might not be the latest model, they are always brand new – and offered at heavily slashed prices.
As well as discount vouchers and codes, you can also get paid to shop at Argos.
Cashback sites like Quidco will pay you to spend at Argos as long as you click on their link.
Sites like these make their money by charging the retailer a fee for every customer referred to them by their website.
But it means that customers can make some easy money while they shop.
Buying Argos’ own products can also save shoppers some money as they are usually cheaper when compared to big brands.
The retailer stocks its value range of products to help you save even more cash.
The discount store sells its basic range in all departments including homeware, DIY and electricals.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
