Put down that mulled wine and get your hand out of the Quality Street, Argos’ Boxing Day sale is here – and there are plenty of bargains to be had.
While, admittedly, it’s a little late for you to buy any gifts, you can gift the number one person in your life: yes, you.
Argos is good on well-priced gadgets, on-trend homewares and a wide range of toys and games. Expect up to 50% off on selected homeware and furniture, 25% off nursery items and, up to £75 off handy gadgets, such as a Dyson Cordless Vacuum Cleaner.
I know there is turkey to be eaten and more mince pies to come, but those can surely wait a few minutes so you can save yourself some money? Camembert tastes all the better if you know there’s a discounted treadmill winging its way to you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Gear!
