this is a site were you can find promotion codes for buying online.

i was just about to order 2 books from wh smith online last sunday and before i pressed buy i remembered this site and got 20% off code.

it saved me £2.44 in the end but better to have it still in my bank account than in wh smiths.

I've started doing my weekly shop online.

There is a delivery fee, but the discounts that are available to shoppers pays for that, and it saves me the hassle of driving into town, parking, gettin my car dented by divvies, having to park up, trundle round, get my ankles snarled up by numpty trolley drivers, fill the trolley, queue, unload it at the checkout, then pack the bloody stuff back into a trolley, get to the car and unload it into the boot, drive home and unload it all...........grrrrr, now I understand why I hate shopping.....

I don't get discounts per se, but I only buy what I need (and hence don't spend a fortune on bloody rubbish), spend half an hour on line doing my shopping so saving my time, and when it arrives I have to carry it only from the front door to the kitchen, and altogether that is worth more to me having more time to my weekend.

Martins money saving website is also good for discounts and ways to save money

Just noticed yesterday that Burtons were offering 20% off for 2 days.
Today took back clothes that we bought last weekend and asked for the 20% to be refunded.
They weren't happy, but told them we would just have a full refund if they weren't prepared to do it. That seemed to persuade them.

I bought wifey some stuff from M&S online yesterday - they had a one-day offer of 20% discount, then the VAT reduction and then I found a discount code on MyVouchercodes.com for free delivery!
