Page 1 of Woolworths Cheaper Than Argos - WTF??!!

Woolworths have a page on their website claiming to be cheaper than Argos. I`m no advoctae for either store, but if you read the small print, it says Woolworth PROMOTIONAL price compared to Argos NORMAL price...

Surely this isn`t legal!!! You can`t bad-mouth ANOTHER company based on unrealistic comparisons...

We can get it on right now if you want to...

Not really got a lot to do with bargains has it?

I was worried it wasn`t bargain orientated, but there are bargains to be found at the end of the URL...

It is simply a statement of fact, which they have quantified. where is the problem? ... asda, tesco, sainsbury have been doing the same for years with their price check... i think Woolies should be commended for the openess and honesty of their claim!



`i am going to live forever or die trying`

yeah, but a comparison of a promotional price is totally different to a comparison of a regular price. I don`t understand how people can get away with it. I believe in a genuine case, Woolworths would probably rank more expensive than Argos...

That aside, some bargains to be had here...

Bugger, I just paid £7.99 for 20Q from Play.com.

But, as was pointed out by my wife, I didn`t have to get wet, use fuel, spend my time and pay a parking fee to go and get it.

Who else is xmas shopping online? Seems a no-brainer to me :)

hi is argos and woolworths not brought by the same people? i have seen the print on that too i was really surprised they would jip one another over proberly a few pennys

Woolworths is (was) owned by the Kingfisher Group, I can`t find anything on the Argos (or Home Retail Group (argos` parents)) websites to say they own woolworths too. HRG do own Homebase though, which is probably why you don`t see a cheaper than Homebase ad...
