Well done for discovering a site that can help you find a better deal when looking for consumer goods in the UK. Whether its a mobile phone, PDA, digital camera, laptop or that special something for someone special, check us out first to see if there are any special deals on whatever it is your looking for. We aim to provide you with details of deals that are available from online as well as high street retailers.

So what is it that we provide that the online price comparison sites don't do?

Before its gone aims to provide you with details of deals or discounts being currently offered by many UK retailers. These deals include offers on mobile phone contracts, desktop computers, laptops, accessories, and other consumer equipment.

The price comparison sites are useful tools when you know the product you are after and these sites list the advertised price available. These sites are however limited when it comes to modifying or customising an advertised offer to obtain a better overall deal. Two such examples are mobile phone contracts and desktop or notebook computers.

There are many retailers in the UK offering varying deals to entice the consumer into making a purchase from them. This is great news for us as consumers, as it means a wide choice with something that will appeal to all of us. Many of these retailers are available in your local shopping centres. In addition, thanks to the Internet, many more are available online. As many of these online retailers do not have the retail overheads associated with high street outlets, they can sometimes offer some great deals.

Many of the offers include:

• Inclusive minutes or text bundles
• free or discounted latest mobile phones
• free accessories that some retailers charge extra for
• free line rental for part or all of the minimum contract period. This is usually in the form of a redemption/cashback offer or discounted line rentals for a period.

If you talk or text a lot then the inclusive minutes or text bundles may save you money over the contract period. Similarly the discounted line rentals or cashback offers may be more tempting to you. Many of the price comparison sites do not take these factors into account when listing prices for a particular product. These are examples of where we add value with the aim that you can benefit from this information.

Please read our FAQ regarding mobile phone contracts and cashback for further details on how the cashback deals usually work.

PC or Laptop

Many PC and notebook deals listed by price comparison sites display the 'default' or standard configuration systems as advertised by the retailer. Some retailers offer the ability to further customise the PC or laptop. By changing some of the options available a better deal could be achieved. For example, changing the support service level to one more suitable to your personal needs and pc experience could offer savings.

So grab yourself a deal before its gone!
