So it's a recession, which means businesses need people to gain confidence in order to buy stuff again. That means more businesses are offering deals, which is good for me and you! This thread is to list those deals for things you bought and others may be interested in. So what deal did I just get?

Little Big Planet for £12.99. Thank you Play.com!

So what deals do you have to share?

Err got Volume 2 of the Louis Malle Collection on Amazon for like 15 quid instead of 40 which was nice.

I beat up and shot an old woman, but she had less money on her than usual. Does that count?

I almost got a $115 Tommy Hilfiger coat for $19.99 a few weeks ago. Didn't have my size. :(

$18.25 for a game is a deal? Eh, maybe, not sure what PS3 games are going for. I've not done a lot of non-essential shopping of late, rarely do.

Yeah we come from a land where new PC games cost about $55 and new console titles cost upwards of 80.

40 odd quid, I think.

erm....I got a Breton style jumper for £22 yesterday. Incidentally, I'd heartily Yootopia, whe next in York, to shop at Blue Ballroom and Expressions. Wonderful vintage shops.

My mum bought herself a brand new car a couple of weeks back. They took her old one, which was 7 or 8 years old, as 1/3 deposit on it. She doesn't have to pay the other thirds (which are interest free) until 2010 and 2011 respectively. Came with a 3 year warranty and AA roadside assistance.
I think that's a pretty decent deal.

Depends, how much was the gun?

I got Resistance: Fall of Man for $9.99 and found Planet Earth on Blu-Ray on eBay for about C$50

Saw this in Edinburgh on Sat (or maybe Sunday, I was pretty smashed this weekend).

Oh grief, that's one of 'em horribly tacky shops on the Royal Mile, isn't it?

Jeeeeeeeesus, Edinburgh's a shitehole.

Haha, you'll get no argument from me about that. Thing is when you are stuck staying on Princes Street, the only logical thing to do is start at the crappy tourist bars at the top of the Royal Mile, and crawl your way down to the bottom. I was totally fucked at the bottom though.

Still, could be worse. We could have been stuck in Peebles.

My local Costcutters is now selling single cans of coke for just 20p...

Cadburys caramel for 15p.

I would say I got a really good deal on my clothes but really I just got fleeced slightly less than usual :p

I thought I remembered them for being 10p once, but I'm confusing that with a Chomp... Both are quite good though.

Chomp < Freddo

am I the only one who dreamed of spending all the money they earn working on cheap chocolate when they was younger?

I said something stupid reguarding something similiar once;

'when I'm 16 I'm going to invade the chomp factory.'

Of course this plan, as un-thought-out as it was, never came to fruition.

I was a bit of a fat-ass as a kid... not so much now.

Also, caramelized Freddos > Freddo.
