Are you looking for bargains at the shops this weekend? The Fool's Weekend Money Saver could help you out....Marks & SpencerThe big news is that the Marks & Spencer sale starts today (Thursday.) There are plenty of items on sale with discounts of up to 50%.Several products caught my eye. For example, all of the items in the Andante dinner set are on sale at £1 a time. This includes dinner plates and cereal bowls.I'm also very tempted by the Blue Harbour chinos at £9 and the Airflex lace-up shoes, which normally sell at £39 but are down to £19 for the sale. I swear that M&S's Airflex shoes are the most comfortable I've ever worn, and a pair of cheap chinos are perfect for a 39 year-old man like me who is still trying to look a tiny bit cool.Turning to womenswear, cotton rich cropped trousers are on offer at £5 while you can get Original Bootleg jeans for £12 a pair. I also like the Sleeveless Linen Blend Embroidered Dress for just £9.NectarCollect triple points when you shop through Nectar estores at B&Q, HMV, Eurostar, Jessops.

These fares include taxes and charges.

I managed one flight from Gatwick to New York in August where you could buy a one-way ticket for only £79.
