Deal me in: biggest bargains and fun brand facts of the week

Ready for the hottest sales with a side of brand trivia to spice up your shopping? We've rounded up the best deals and dropped in a few cool facts to keep you on your toes. 

Big discounts at budget-friendly George 

Did you know, George was the brainchild of fashion designer George Davies? Yep, the same guy who helped launch Next in the '80s. Fast forward to the '90s, and he brought us George at Asda, the budget-friendly clothes line that’s a staple in everyone’s wardrobe, even if they might not admit it!  

Right now, George is slashing prices on everything from kids' shoes to home décor and toys. And yes, even LEGO is going at a discount.  

Here’s a fun fact. LEGO comes from the Danish "Leg Godt," which means “play well.”  

Play on, shoppers.  

Three vinyl for £66 at HMV 

If you're a vinyl fan, this one's for you. Get three vinyl records for just £66 at HMV.com. Choose from classic albums, new releases and hidden gems.  

And here's one to have up your sleeve at a music quiz - HMV's iconic "His Master's Voice" trademark comes from an 1898 painting of a dog named Nipper listening to a gramophone. 

So what are you waiting for - what’s the story, vinyl glory?
