The initial price is £11.99 but 30% is discounted at the checkout, this is very clear if you scroll down and look on the right hand side of the page
After buying 2 cheap hydrometers off eBay that read about 20% different I wanted a better quality one to monitor my bathroom humidity and the airing cupboard that is very damp. I found this on the Argos outlet with the 30% off it seemed a good price.
They range from £18 to £50 on the internet.
Argos are slim on the description so I grabbed this from Amazon.

Compared this to my £800 weather station. Outdoor temperature exactly the same reading, indoor reading 0.5 degrees low.

For people buying these to use the sensors on existing kits, unless they're the exact same or very similar model of sensor they probably wont work. I have the EW-92, RMR329P and SL-101 kits - all the sensors are different and, rather annoyingly they only work with the receiver they were supplied with and are not compatible with other base stations.
I've had an EW-92 kit for 7 years with the external sensor being outdoors for the same length of time and it's still working fine even down to temps as low as -14*c - batteries last over a year too.
All of my Oregon stuff is spot on when it comes to temperature readings except the RMR329P Projection alarm clock which reads 3*c higher than actual on the internal temp reading - this is due to the heat from the backlight and projection - other than that, if they're all lined up with their external sensors all the temps match inside and out.

Many thanks. Great price compared to other sellers. Bought 2. Great for remote monitoring of my greenhouse during winter and one for a present.

Not looked yet but I'm betting the sensors alone cost more than this so I may grab 2 more just to add sensors.
