Little Treasures 5g Gold Minted Bar | The Royal Mint
add to basket and it sorts the reduction

think you might need to order 2 or more items

yep, workng now with 2 items in the basket - nice one!

Got 6 as it was closest to 1oz ( even minus the gram it's a fekin bargain 

Worked for me so many thanks @Gordy ❤️
It appears on some items they are knocking the 20% off the total not the premium.  From experimenting seems to be on anything classed as a 'gift'.
I was not greedy, I went for 8x 5g bars.  I just need to break it to the Mrs now that Christmas is cancelled

It's because the gift items all have fixed prices. They really shouldn't be taking any discount off them at all (as their prices don't follow the price of the metal) so it looks like someone's made a boo-boo.

The 5g bars pretty much at spot ?

James is going to go bust today....

They all do. Looks like the £320 gift 5g bars all get discounted 👍🏼

Thanks for posting this, what a deal. I wasn't planning on buying anything this month but now I'm already looking at beans and toast for the next 4 weeks! 😀

go for the HENNA ones too..... they work as well 🤣

The offer works on the 'best wishes 5g bars' 
I may or may not have ordered another 6.... take that @Orpster 😆 
All going to end in tears.

Do you have a garage? I'd make a bed and get comfortable, then ring her from there as I assume that's where you'll be spending December!

"Buy gold sovereigns"
there, I've made it simple for you
Rinse and repeat each month and thank me in 30 years time 
 

Silver … you can either stock up on cheaper 1oz coins/rounds or buy some more expensive bits .. or a mix of both. Buying on here or second hand no VAT issues. I started off buying silver, however, I wish I had saved and bought more gold! A mix of both is no bad thing, but I personally would try and concentrate more on gold. As mentioned, a nice sovereign, or a half or 1/10ths. Don’t get hung up about high premiums on smaller bits. Some great deals out there, plus not really an issue when you sell .. unless you go somewhere like a pawn shop!🤔

The VAT makes stacking silver in the UK more challenging. Buy and hold: at as close to spot as possible. Value your silver stack at spot, that way you will not be disappointed.
Take all those youtube panic merchants with a ginormous pinch of salt!
As to the supposed silver market manipulation I have no comment as I don't know about that.
Happy stacking 👍✌️

Whatever your monthly budget for precious is, treble it and add a bit more on top for impulse buys and forum bargains 

My advice would be to think of your reasons for deciding to purchase precious metals and then have a plan to include the following.
Monthly budget Spreadsheet tracker Details of items you are interested in Suitable storage facilities Exit plan, i.e how will sell when the time comes. Whilst in the building phase of your stack, I would suggest not paying to much attention to the daily fluctuations of spot price and instead focus on accumulating metals within your budget. In my early days, I ignored this rule and frequently ended up spending my budget on nights out, meals etc, whilst waiting for spot to drop.
Be sure to shop around but you will often need to look no further than this forum for highly competitive deals.
Personally, I view gold as an alternative savings account and silver as a hobby, purchasing coins / bars that I enjoy.
Also, look to build a profile and and sell some items from time to time, there will always be opportunities to make a little pocket money and reinvest in further metals.
Most of all just enjoy the ride and i'm sure you will soon become addicted like everybody else on the forum. 😀
