Current Discounts And Deals #15

Fancy a new suit for just £15 and 75% off Christmas 2008? Check out some of the hottest deals around...

Lots of big name sales seem to be drawing to a close this week, so now's the time to snap up any last-minute bargains you come across. Here are some of the best new deals around: On Saturday, Southern Electric is giving away 4.5 million energy-saving lightbulbs for free at participating retailers (such as Tesco) when you purchase The Sun. Tesco Direct is now offering big online discounts on a huge range of goods. Highlights include 50% reductions on lots of home accessories, children's bikes from £25, and plenty of women's clothing half price. If you're really organised, you can also pick up all next year's Christmas lights, trees and decorations at 75% off. If you're looking for reduced homeware, you might also want to check out the Homebase furniture sale. Beds, cabinets, easy chairs and lots more are now selling at half price. Or if it's a cheap suit you're after, head to George at Asda. From Wednesday January 16th until Sunday 20th, it'll be selling black, single breasted suits for just £15 (as always, we can't vouch for the quality!). Finally, here are two more shoe shops offering good sale discounts. The Office sale is in full swing, with up to 75% off footwear. And The Shoe Studio, found at Debenhams and elsewhere, is offering at least 50% off items in its Pied a Terre, Nine West, and Bertie women's ranges. Offers which continue to be valid: Here's a good deal for those of you with a Tesco Clubcard. Sign up to any E.On (formerly Powergen) tariff (except the 'AgeConcern' tariffs) and you'll receive 500 Clubcard Points per fuel (and 1000 for a Dual Fuel application).  These points will be added to the account when the new supply goes live - and for every £1 spent on gas or electricity thereafter, you'll earn one Clubcard point. At the time of writing, E.on's tariffs are very competitive - you can find out more and sign up via our our Gas and Electricity Comparison Centre. Just be aware: E.On, like all the energy companies, will probably raise its prices in the next few months. So instead of switching now, you might want to wait and see how its prices compare after an increase. Next up, the latest promotion from Ryanair: the airline is running a buy-one-get-one-free offer on any return flight on the Ryanair website booked before midnight on Thursday January 17th. Just check out all the terms and conditions carefully, and remember to factor in charges for baggage, check-in and other extras. If you fancy a night out, Tiger Tiger is currently offering web vouchers for up to 33% off food and drink in many of its bars. And for those about to brave Ikea: Pop into their restaurant for some cheap grub. They're currently offering two-course meals for as little as £1.99, and a cooked breakfast for only 0.95. Just make sure they're on offer at the times, and on the days, you plan to visit (some are available Monday-Friday only). The British Airways sale is currently in full swing - check out the deals available on Lastminute.com. Or are you thinking of travelling by train? Virgin Trains is currently offering bargain fares between London Euston and Manchester Piccadilly. Bookings are currently available up to February 15th, and at the time of writing £7 and £9 tickets are still available.  Here's something a bit different that's been suggested by a Fool reader. Poundbelow is a website which lets you know about UK-based eBay items which have been listed for under a pound. You can search in particular categories or for particular items, and if you persevere you can make real savings. Just don't end up with lots of stuff you don't really want! And a real gem from Amazon. The online shopping giant has a little known price drop policy where if they lower the price on something you've bought within the past 30 days, they'll credit you with the difference. However, as with most things, if you don't ask, you don't get. Check for current prices on the website by looking through all your invoices for the past 30 days. If you've paid more than the current price, here's how to claim your money back: 1.)   Go to the 'Contact Us' section of the website 2.) Go to 'Return and refund questions' 3.) Select 'I have a question about returns that's not listed above' 4.) Sign in 5.) Do as instructed in the above article to claim! Just bear in mind - this policy applies only to Amazon sales - not any Marketplace purchases. For sushi lovers everywhere, Yo! Sushi is offering a whopping 50% off your meal from 14th January 2008. You can get up to 10 plates per person at half price if you register with the site. For regular rail users, beat the fare hike blues and console yourself with some discounted food. Sign up for a BiTE card and you can get 20% off food and drink at many participating outlets across the country. Registration is as simple as filling out an online form. And for the food connoisseurs among us, why not sign up to Toptable, where you can earn points by booking restaurant tables through their website. Currently, 6 bookings will earn you a free two or three course meal, with an automatic 200 points for signing up. If you eat out regularly, the points can quickly build up, and there are lots of offers such as 2-for-1 dining available through their regular newsletters.
