English term or phrase: Save oodles of dosh!
Greetings

This was a popular advertising slogan in the UK, the purpose of which was to boast about how cheap the advertizer’s wares were, consequently making it possible for the buy to save lots and lots (= oodles) of money (= dosh).

The language is extremely colloquial – please could you make the translation reflect this as much as possible?

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon

neutral  Salih Ay (X): Very sorry, but -as a native speaker- I've never heard (or can't even imagene) a slogan like this or suchlike before!

  -> This is called "transcreation" and "mangır mangır" is supposed to bring to mind "bangır bangır", in case you didn't catch that...
