Are you a bargain runner??

[Deleted User] · December 2009

Just having got another running bargain I was thinking that most of my stuff has been bought with some offer or deal.

Garmin 305 - 95 quid in the Halfords deal.

Cheap base layer - 10 quid in Aldi.

2 pairs of Reebok KFS VI's - 54 quid (buy 1 pair get the other for a fiver).

And the latest one is a Linebreak Velocity LS top and matching long tights for 36 quid delivered!!

Anyone else go looking for bargains?? I'm not tight BTW just not too flush and like to get value for my hard earned cash!!

I am tight Paul as retired from well paying job

I have got winter bits from charity shops and once a year I will splash out , though if I can get a new quality item cheaper , I will.

I buy a lot of my stuff from the Declathlon sports shop in Lakeside - their stuff is much cheaper than some of the brands more commonly associated with running, and pretty much the same quality. I don't live close to the shop, but the football team I support play Thurrock every season which is just around the corner, so I go there once a year to stock up!

I've do have some 'named' stuff, but I also own some of Aldi and Lidl's finest. It's perfectly functional so why not?

Defo! TK Maxx is my usual. Had all sorts from there mostly NB and Puma clothing which have served me very well.

Another shout for TK Maxx for cheap stuff - especially shorts.

Never managed to get a *real* bargain with shoes but got my last 2 pairs for about £50 each rather than £80 each elsewhere.

TK Maxx have some great running gear if you are prepared to hunt through the jumble.

I don't think anyone really throws their money around these days, and the vast majority of people are always on the look out for a good deal, and with the ease of find good deals these days on the net, there is no excuse not to really.

Got some cheap stuff from Start Fitness recently, it was reduced anyway but I was sent a 10% off voucher so was even cheaper. The voucher code is USMXS134351 and is valid until the end of the year.

There More Mile range is really good and similar to the Decathlon stuff I have.

If you are a member of a running club always ask for a discount in shops. Get 10% off in most cases.

I don't skimp on running shoes, but I do like a bargain with other stuff, especially as I seem to wreck everything on branches, barbed wire or from pinning race numbers on.

I pinched 3 old running tops off my husband - now that's a bargain!

Howdy, Stranger!
