Old Argos Catalogs from 1973 to 1999

Love that they preserved so many of them so if folks want to check it out for nostalgia, they can!

Thats amazing P, just look at the prices from all those years ago, nearly as expensive as now , so they cost an absolute fortune when they first came out

Just dont post any food prices from then, we will have a heart attack seeing how much they have gone up 😬

Oh wow amazing. I loved the Argos catalogue. Use to look at it as a child and wished I could get some toys but my parents couldn't afford them.

I remember going through the Argos catalogue picking out what I’d like for Christmas.

Pjran oh yes me too, we were allowed to pick anything we wanted up to £10, for my nan and grandad to buy us for Christmas, they lived far away, and it was before internet, so all 4 of us kids wud line up to take it in turns to give nan the page number and product code of what we wanted over the phone, she would be sat with a book at her end, circling the right bits, we would be given the book 1week before hand to decide what we wanted, then we had to be quick on the phone because we were in the in the box,🤣 I'm the youngest so I was always last and would start panicking that the others were taking too long and the money would run out before I got my go, but it never did luckly for me

I used to get two Argos catalogues, one each for my children. They used to circle which item they would like for Christmas. The only problem was they liked quite a few things. 😀 As for Bullseye they had some ridiculous prizes and when Jim Bowen said 'Let's have a look at what you could have won.' we always used to laugh.
