Argos brings back its huge Big Red sale – save up to 50% on headphones, TVs, laptops, toys, and more

With the bank holiday weekend just around the corner in the UK, Argos has launched another of its famous Big Red sales, featuring discounts of up to 50% across a vast range of tech, appliances, homewares, toys, and more. Here’s how the unique event works and my picks for the best deals I’d shop this weekend.

So, instead of showing the deal prices upfront, the Argos Big Red sale has several discount codes that you apply to specific products to get a saving. These are ‘RED10’ for 10% off, ‘RED20’ for 20% off, ‘RED30’ for 30% off, and – all together now – ‘RED50’ for 50% off.

For example, you can get this Oral-B Vitality Pro Electric Toothbrush for £19 (was £38) when using the code ‘RED50’ at the checkout. That’s a super-low price for a basic but more-than-capable electric toothbrush that offers a much better cleaning experience compared to a manual one.

A few other standout deals I’ve spotted include this Blink Video Doorbell for £24.99 (was £49.99) with the code ‘RED50’, these Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Wireless Headphones for £135.20 (was £169) with the code ‘RED20’, and the Ninja Double Stack Air Fryer for £183.99 (was £229.99) when using the code ‘RED20’.

If you want to have a browse through the sale for yourself, just keep an eye out for the red banners at the top of each product page that show which voucher code you can use to get a discount.

There are thousands of items included in the sale, featuring many major brands such as Samsung, LG, Shark, Oral-B, Dyson, Lenovo, Tefal and Bosch. I’ve included an overview of all the biggest categories you can shop at Argos below, as well as a small selection of the top deals I recommend.

The Argos Big Red sale is live until August 26.
