Current Discounts and Deals #36
Here's our round-up of the best current discounts and deals.
Considering that the London Marathon takes place this Sunday, you might expect this latest edition of Money Saving Tips to contain lots of hints on getting fit and healthy.
But sadly, most of the best offers I've found this week are for things that mainly involve sitting and/or eating.
Oh well - it is the weekend.
Firstly, anyone with an Xbox 360 might be interested in this portable 64MB memory unit, which is now less than half price (£9.99) at Argos. If you're heading to a mate's house for a night of gaming, take this drive with you means you to transport your game progress and your Xbox Live account.
For anyone who enjoys movies, Lovefilm.com also has a special treat this week. Sign up for their free 30-day film trial quoting MT3CN2 in the promotional code box, and you'll receive two free cinema tickets redeemable at cinemas across the UK. (Just remember, if you decide not to continue with Lovefilm once the 30 days are up, you must cancel your direct debit with them to avoid being charged).
If you fancy snacking on fresh popcorn while you're watching or playing, consider investing in this Cookworks Signature silver popcorn maker. At £7.99, it's less than half price from Argos. Deliciously good value!
And with the Debenhams Blue Cross sale coming to an end on 13 April, now may be the time to dash down to the high street for a last-minute bargain. Alternatively, you could pick up this 20 piece Royal Doulton dinner set online for just £30 - £70 off the RRP!
For those people whose favourite place on earth is bed (that would be me, then), Asda's offer on duvets and pillows might be of interest.
At the moment a single duvet and pillow costs £5, while a double duvet and two pillows is just £7. Since few of us replace these items as regularly as we should, now might be a great time to get them in - but it will mean venturing out to your local Asda store, as the deals are not available online. Call 0500 100 055 to locate your nearest Asda and check availability.
If you've been lusting after an iPod Touch since they were launched a few months ago, eBuyer's offer on the 16GB version might be right up your street. Buy one online for £209.00, and save £60 on the RRP. Those looking for an even better bargain might be tempted by Sony's 8GB video mp3 player, half price at £69.99 from Argos.
Currys have a great offer this week on men's clippers. This Nicky Clarke Wet `N' Dry Clipper Set is half price at £14.99 - so even if you're chilling out this weekend lads, there's no excuse not to look neat!
And finally, anyone looking to invest in car break-down cover should check out the RAC's policies, currently discounted by 25% if you sign up online. Better still, buy your cover through cashback website Quidco and get £21 cash back. Policies start from £33.
Have a fun and Foolish weekend!
Offers which continue to be valid:
High street sales continue for another few days, so get down to your favourite stores quickly to bag the remaining bargains.

Play.com's brilliant offer on this Panasonic Lumix camera is also still available. With a third off at £209.99, this isn't a compact snapper - but its many functions are simple to use, and it's a great option for those who'd like to take a step up from their basic `point and click' digital camera.
