Amazon is not bad for getting things at a lower price, I bought our queen size double height air bed on there this year, and a new kitchen stand, both were way below the prices on other sites.
I also believe in buying decent stuff, so you do have the advantage of finding what you like on Amazon as they have reviews for many things, then googling them to see the cheapest price online for what you want, both on Amazon, Ebay and of course camping shops.
I have saved a fortune over the years by doing that.
I sometimes find Go Outdoors to be a bit limited, and have noticed recently that more of their things appear to be of lower quality, they are not as good as they used to be.
Hope this helps and that you find what you are looking for.
Jane.

It depends what you mean by a decent price.
For us it is not the makes but the warmth that counts, I don't know anything about Regatta ones, but having a quick google they are at the very cheap end of the market, so won't be the best, but could well be ok for what you want them for.
Ours are all either Outwell, Rab and North Face, but of course it also depends on the time of year you are intending to use them and how cold it is likely to be at night, nothing worse than feeling really cold for the sake of spending a little bit more on a decent sleeping bag.
Fine anything will do if you just want to spend a few nights away each year on the warmest days, but a good idea to see what all the other options are to suit your budget, if you're going to be regularly going away at different times of the year, the cheap ones might not necessarily be the answer.
My kids all have Outwell sleeping bags,these have come down in price in recent years, I can recommend the Cloud range, they are warm and lightweight, and I just saw one on Outdoor World Direct for 30 quid, down from £44.99.
Hope this helps.
