Amazon has Prime Day. Currys has Epic Deals. And now Argos has its Big Red sale: a huge event it launched earlier this month with discounts of up to 50% on TVs, laptops, toys, appliances, and loads more top tech items. It's just expanded the sale with dozens more offers so I've taken another look and picked out all the best deals I think are worth buying.

Rather than simply slashing the price of products upfront, Argos has introduced several different discount codes that can be applied to specific products. With one of these, you can score a saving of anywhere between 10 - 50% on eligible items.

For example, you can use the code 'RED20' to get the popular Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer for £216 (was £270). That makes it around £25 more than the previous record-low price and a sweet bargain to score outside a major sales event like Black Friday. There's also this Ring Battery Video Doorbell with Chime for £111.99 with the same code.

Other codes include 'RED10' for 10% off, 'RED30' for 30% off, and 'RED50' for – you guessed it – 50% off. The eligible codes are shown on each product page so you know what size discount is available without trying them all. Just enter the correct one in your basket, and you'll see the savings applied at the checkout.

Here's a quick look at the discounts I've found in some of the most popular categories:

My top picks from the Argos Big Red sale

Ninja's recent space-saving air fryer is down to a good price outside of Black Friday so now's the time to buy the popular and well-rated appliance – especially if you have minimal space on your countertop. We loved it at TechRadar, scoring it full marks in our Ninja Double Stack Air Fryer review and even putting it in our best air fryer buying guide. Well-built and great-looking in any kitchen, it offers five cooking levels across two drawers and two racks, while the 9.5L capacity is ideal for medium to big families.

Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - Intel i5
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 256GB
OS - Windows 11

Argos has a great offer on this mid-range laptop that boasts a 15.6-inch screen, an Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and a decent 8-hour battery life. These components ensure solid overall performance for most day-to-day tasks including browsing, working and streaming videos. On top of that, you get a bundle of handy software included. There's a one-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 Personal, which contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. Plus a one-year McAfee LiveSafe subscription for all your antivirus and VPN needs.

The latest wireless Ring Doorbell with the Chime add-on has been discounted by 20% in the latest Argos sale. We've tested more advanced versions and have been impressed with the video quality and night vision colour, but it's a shame that some of this device's value is usable exclusively with a Ring Protect subscription. However, if you're fine with paying for a subscription or already using a Ring-based home security system, it'll be worth the cost.

This Argos Big Red event runs until February 25 so you've got a few more days to grab yourself a saving. There are definitely some strong offers on TVs, kitchen appliances, and toys that are rarely seen during this time of the year, so those are the ones I'd take advantage of if you're shopping now.
