If you're in that mid-month mood and payday seems a long way off, this latest round up of discounts and deals should help you find a way to to beat the blues -- without breaking the bank!

Now we're about halfway through the week -- and halfway through the month of June -- some Fools are probably suffering shortages of both energy and cash. With payday still two weeks away for many of us (myself sadly included), an uplifting trip to the high street could represent a dangerous journey into temptation. Why is it that the best new DVDs and albums always seem to be released when fans are fighting to keep fivers firmly in their wallets? Luckily, there are some great bargains available at the moment... Perhaps treating yourself towards the end of the month might be possible after all! Let Them Entertain You First up this week, there are some cool bargains available on music and films. Any Coldplay fans yet to buy the band's latest release, Viva La Vida, will find it for £6.99 at CDWow.com, delivery included -- that's a whopping saving of £9 off the RRP. Elsewhere, sci-fi action film Jumper -- newly released this week -- is available for £9.72 from Asda.com. Starring Hayden Christensen, Jamie Bell and Samuel L. Jackson, the movie follows the antics of a young man who can teleport himself to anywhere in the world. Delivery is free, and buyers will save over £10 off the RRP.

Fools looking for a laugh can buy the special Collector's Edition for £4.89 (delivered) from SendIt.com, saving a massive £12.10 off the RRP. And lovers of indie-flicks who are dying to get hold of hit movie Juno on DVD should consider visiting Zavvi this week. The film is available for £12 delivered from its website -- that's the best deal I've found on the web, and a saving of £7.99 off the RRP. Argos also has a couple of great offers on toys this week -- some of which might appeal to big kids as well as youngsters. These Spider-Man Intercom Masks, for example, look like they could amuse people of any age... Finally, anyone looking for more 'intellectually stimulating' entertainment should check out Blackwell'sOxford University Press summer sale. Over 800 titles are discounted, some by as much as 75%. (This offer is also worth a look if you have friends or relatives departing for University this autumn -- some academic texts are seriously reduced at the moment). Also, fans of classic fiction will be pleased to know Blackwell's is still offering 20% off the re-designed Oxford World's Classics series.

Whittard of Chelsea has also begun its summer sale, and is offering up to 50% off a variety of ceramics, coffees and teas, gifts and kitchen equipment. Fans of M&S furniture might also be interested in its current deals and discounts. When you buy three items of selected furniture, a discount of 30% is available. In addition, there are various offers on home furnishings and accessories, as well as kitchen, bathroom and bedroom items. On a slightly different note, here's a tip for those looking to buy a `home' to keep them warm and dry during camping trips or visits to music festivals this summer. This six man Coleman Wyoming tent is reduced from £250 to £99 at WorldOfTents.co.uk... And it should keep you clean and dry, despite the inevitably inclement British weather.
