Current Discounts And Deals # 17

Money off clothes, food and entertainment - there's something for everyone in this week's best discounts and deals.

For most of us, the Christmas break now seems like a dim and distant memory. Hopefully, these latest deals and discounts will bring a bit of cheer to the January gloom. Let's kick off with some huge discounts at the tail end of the New Year sales. If you're a gaming enthusiast, check out the Nintendo Wii games currently on offer online at Tesco Entertainment. Dozens are under £20, with discounts of up to 63% off. Men on the lookout for smart casual wear should try Savile Row Co. Several of its `weekend' shirts are now on sale for £12.50 (down from £50). And talking of clothes, George at Asda's latest offering is an office outfit for women (black bootcut trousers and a white shirt) for just £5. It's currently in stock in sizes 8-24 - but as always, we can't vouch for the quality! If you're wondering what to do with the kids this half-term, why not take the little monkeys on a trip to the zoo? Kellogg's is offering a 'free' zoo ticket on selected packs of cereal, between now and March 23rd. Just make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully -- the other ticket holder must be a full paying adult, and the offer applies to participating zoos only. If you're about to jet off on holiday, the latest discounts at BHS might appeal to you. The store is currently offering 50% off lots of its luggage. And finally, get 50% off main courses at Zizzi Italian restaurants when you buy a copy of the Telegraph from January 26th to February 1st. Again, just scrutinise those terms and conditions -- predictably, you can't use the vouchers on St Valentine's Day, or Friday or Saturday nights! Offers which continue to be valid: If you like to curl up with a good book at night, why not check out Blackwell Online, which is offering 50% off on all Oxford World's Classics at the moment. Sticking with the book theme, bargain book site Dusty Covers sells a wide variety of new and ex-display books and audio CDs, most of which are priced at just £2.99. In addition, there's free delivery on all purchases. Time Out magazine has a mighty £91.80 (64%) off a year's subscription at the moment. If you sign up now, they'll even throw in a free 2008 diary for good measure. In addition, many of their city guides have 35% slashed off the regular price. Tesco is offering £75 discount on Hotpoint products purchased from Tesco Direct when you take out a home insurance policy. Quote 'hotpoint75' when purchasing your insurance to qualify. If you're looking for reduced homeware, you check out the Homebase furniture sale. Beds, cabinets, easy chairs and lots more are now selling at half price. 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. 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! Permanent Just bear in mind - this policy applies only to Amazon sales - not any Marketplace purchases. 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. If you have any more suggestions, please let us know by posting them on the Moneysaving tips discussion board, adding your comments here or emailing us at moneysavingtips@fool.co.uk.
