    I got mine in Tesco's :) Set of 6 1kg, 2, and 3kg each :) they're great though the 'tree' thing they sit on is a bit clumsy to put together. Other than that you could try cheapie sports stores.

    I bought 5 lb ones from amazon for $12 shipped using my prime account.
  • I got mine at Target. I think they were about ten dollars for both and they have a variety of weights. That was nice because I had no idea what weight would be comfortable for me so I tried them out.

    If you're talking Argos, you're definitely in the UK! :) Sports Direct generally has them on sale and Amazon has good deals, as well, if you poke around. Could check gumtree to see if anyone in your area is getting rid of some.

    Good luck! I need to order a heavier pair, as well.

    I got my kettlebells from Amazon then laughed at the postman huffing up three flights of stairs :laugh: If you've got a retail park JJB Sports, they do them too, and deliver.

    This. They tend to be about a dollar a pound at 5 Below.

    I got mine at Ross, for $3.99 each but it's hit and miss when they have them.

    Ooh, yes, assuming you're UK based try Gumtree, you can get super-cheap used sports equipment! You might even get totally free stuff on Freecycle,
  • They had some at 5 below but Target had the best deals for more than one in a package.

    UK based; I got mine from Freecycle - it's getting to that time of year where people are giving up on the New Years resolutions and getting rid of equipment :laugh:

    I bought hand weights , 3lb each, at TK Maxx, UK, for £3.99 each. I find 3lb sufficient for the 30DS. I would find the 5lb way to heavy. I can complete the reps with the 3lb but they are hard.

    Check the paper or other local sources for used. It might not be practical to buy from Ebay or other that would require shipping, but people are always selling exercising equip they bought and don't use.
