Frugal Friday

Missed yesterday's instalment of our Frugal Friday discounts and deals? This week's round-up of bargains includes 30% off the Le Creuset range, half price fashion, 80% off DVDs and fantastic Mother's Day gifts...

March is rapidly passing us by and another weekend is upon us. And with only one more week left until Mother's Day, if you haven't yet bought your mum a present, this is the weekend to do it!

So without further ado, let's check out this week's discounts and deals...

Homewares

There are some fabulous bargains to be had on homewares right now:

• The White Company currently has up to a whopping 70% off in its clearance sale.
• Any fans of the Le Creuset range (like me!) should be delighted to hear that Amazon is offering 30% off the new olive range. This Cast Iron Round Casserole Dish is now £80.50, saving you a massive £34.50.
• There's also 20% off selected homeware lines at Debenhams, as well as up to 50% off selected dinnerware. I think this Denby Imperial Blue 16 Piece Dinner Set is a great bargain at £92.50.

Fashion

Here's a round-up of the biggest clothing sales on at the moment:

• 15% off designer collections at Debenhams when you spend £50 or more. This offer ends on Sunday 22 March.
• 50% off selected clothing at Warehouse.
• 75% off selected maternity fashion and accessories at Blooming Marvellous.
• 50% off selected items at La Senza

Films and box sets

If you're planning to have a little 'me time' this weekend, and fancy curling up on the sofa to watch a good DVD or two, the following bargains should help to keep you occupied! Here's my pick of the best (with the most heavily discounted first):

Play.com is also offering up to 80% off selected DVDs, so this sale is worth a browse. What's more, you can grab 25% off all DVDs at Argos if you enter the code DVD25 at the checkout. This offer expires on 24 March.

Books

If you're more of a bookworm and fancy filling up your bookshelf with new novels, check out these bookshop sales:

• 10% off all orders over £20 at Waterstones. Just enter the code PL5824 at the checkout.
• 40% off children's books and up to 50% off new releases at Amazon.
• Up to 70% off bestselling hardbacks at WHSmith. Stephen King's Just After Sunsetis now only £7.74 (RRP £18.98) and Rachel Allen's Bake is just £10 (RRP £20).

Eating out

There are still plenty of tempting offers available at a range of restaurants this weekend. Just take a look at the following:

Mother's Day ideas

If you're still feeling slightly clueless about what to get your mum for Mother's Day, the following offers may help to inspire you.

• Interflora is offering 12% off orders over £25 if you enter the code vcuklovemum at the checkout before 20 March. You can also pick up a box of free chocolates with selected gifts if you enter the code mum789. Or if you prefer, you can collect a bottle of wine for free if you enter the code mum345 -- again this is for selected products only.
• There's also 15% off at Fleurop.co.uk when you use the code MOTHER15 before 22 March.

If your mum is a bit of a chocoholic, some delicious chocolates from Thorntons might do the trick -- and until 21 March you can get 20% off all orders. Just enter the code MAB2 at the checkout.

But if you'd rather buy your mum some fancy beauty products, there's 10% off everything at Benefit Cosmetics with the code BENEMDAY. This deal is valid until 22 March. You'll also get free delivery if you spend over £50 by entering the code FREEDELI.

However, if all of this is a little too dull for you and you'd prefer to give you mum more of an unusual gift, you might like to visit Nigel's Eco Store which sells a range of environmentally friendly products. These gorgeous Eco Friendly Shopping Bags, for example, are made from recycled plastic bottles and are just £5.99. They certainly make an attractive alternative to your usual carrier bag!
