Before time began, there was the Bargain. We know not where it came from, only that it holds the power to save money and fill wallets with life. That is how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony. But like all great savings, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the shopping. A shopping trip that ravaged our wallets until they were consumed by debt, and the Bargain was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our savings. Searching every shop, every supermarket. And just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown place… The SFX weekly bargains round-up…

We have a blue police box theme this week for our random suggestions. We have enough TARDIS replica novelty items here to deck out any self respecting geek’s kitchen shelf. First up we have a TARDIS-shaped money box going for £11.29 . Then we have a TARDIS-shaped mug which is available for £12.18 .
Next we have a TARDIS-shaped teapot which can be yours for £17.79 . And if you’ve got the mug and teapot then you’ll need some biscuits. And what better vessel to keep your biscuits in than this TARDIS-shaped cookie jar ? Play is selling the item for £19.95 .
Our final suggestion for this is week is also TARDIS related, but it’s a bit more expensive than the other items. We still reckon there’s a few of you out there who’ll want it. This officially licensed TARDIS blue bath robe is available to order from Play for £47.25.
Usual rules - If you find anything we’ve brought you this week cheaper somewhere else please mention it in the comments section below. We want as many bargains ideas for our readers as we can get. If anyone out there spots a sci-fi bargain they want to share over the coming week then please head over to our forum and mention it in the relevant thread. This thread is for bargain films and this one is for TV bargains , a thread for comics and graphic novels and finally this thread is for any random bargain you might find. Keep your eyes peeled for great offers for your fellow geek and maybe your find will be in the bargain list next time.
