Argos Deals

As much of the UK swelters through a heatwave, cheap electric fans have been flying off the shelves, and some stores have completely sold out. 

While it’s impossible for us to give you an exhaustive list, we’ve rounded up the best deals we've seen on the most common sizes of fan - though most have extremely limited stock, so it’s a game of ‘can you find ‘em’ rather than guaranteed.

These prices don't include delivery, so you'll need to factor that in if you're buying online.

Small desk fans (6in-7in)

• £7.99 at B&M LIMITED STOCK
• £9.99 at Currys* LIMITED STOCK
• £10 at Wilko OUT OF STOCK
• £12.99 at Argos* LIMITED STOCK
• £14 at JD Williams

Medium desk fans (12in)

• £9.99 at Screwfix OUT OF STOCK
• £11.99 at Home Bargains OUT OF STOCK
• £12 at Homebase LIMITED STOCK
• £14.99 at Argos* LIMITED STOCK
• £25 at B&Q LIMITED STOCK

Large pedestal fans (16in)

• £14.99 at Screwfix OUT OF STOCK
• £17.99 at B&M
• £24.99 at Wowcher
• £25 at JD Williams
• £44.99 at Argos* LIMITED STOCK

We can't guarantee they'll be available at your local store, so it might be worth phoning to check stock before you make a special trip. 

If you go online to Argos* or into a store (find your nearest*), you can find a range of cheap camping equipment. Delivery costs vary depending on the size of the item you're buying, but you can click and collect for free. 

Some examples we spotted on Tue 10 Jul are:

• Two-person dome tent* - £18.99
• ProAction envelope sleeping bag* - £9.99
• Stainless steel camping kettle* - £10.99
• Folding picnic table and stools* - £29.99

Some clearance stock can be cheaper in store but the range on Argos's eBay outlet* makes it worth a look.

Most products it sells are new, and where items are refurbished, they're clearly noted. It's also worth checking Argos's in-store clearance finder* which allows you to find bargains available in store.

There are always ways to save money at Argos*, so even if there isn't a cracking discount code or sale out there that works for you, don't assume you can't cut your costs further. 

Ways to save money at Argos include:

• Free Check & Reserve. This allows you to save on delivery costs by reserving an item online and collecting it from an Argos store (find your nearest*). Of course, this will depend on your local store having your item in stock.
   
• Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to find out in which shops they had most success haggling, and 17% said they'd managed to blag a discount at Argos - so it's probably worth a try if you're brave enough. Read our Haggle on the High Street guide for more haggling tips.
   
• 'Free' Argos vouchers. Argos regularly does an offer where you can get a 'free' £5 voucher when you spend £50, or a £10 voucher when you spend £100, to use on your next Argos visit.
   
• Check the online offers page. The Argos offers page* lists current deals from all sections of the site.
   
• Check out similar retailers, eg, Amazon and Tesco Direct. If you're not committed to buying from Argos, check out our deals from other places such as Amazon, John Lewis and Tesco Direct, where there may be a better offer.


• Had a problem with Argos? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Argos*.

If you spot any hot deals out there we have missed (we are human after all!), please let us know on Twitter @MSE_Deals or by emailing us at msedeals@moneysavingexpert.com.
