The clocks have gone forward and April is in full swing. Fancy getting 2 for 1 entry to some top attractions to celebrate? Read on...

Yes, it's April Fools' day. But among the pranks, jokes and er, odd strange article, here's some more Foolish bargains to save you some money. No, really.

Are your kids on a late Easter break this year? Well, thanks to Sky, you can get 2 for 1 entry to a range of top attractions. Venues include Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Madame Tussauds and Warwick Castle.

You can print off as many vouchers as you like, and Sky customers can also receive 50% discount at Alton Towers Resort Hotels. Book by phone on 0871 222 9847 and quote promotion code: SKY.

The Office mid-season sale starts today, with 50% off many lines. So whether you're a fashionista hunting for a bargain or just looking to replace those old boots, check out the offers in-store or online. End of season stock is also available, with 75% off selected lines.

Staying with the sale theme, Tesco Direct is hosting a clearance sale on its website, with many items with up to 75% off, including bathroom accessories, bedding, and home furnishings. The sale ends 6th April.

Fancy some top nosh at a bargain price? Old Orleans is offering two courses on its lunch menu for just £6.25. So whether it's Sweet Chilli Chicken or a good old Beef Burger which tickles your fancy, tuck in for under a tenner. The offer is available Monday to Saturday, 12pm - 5pm.

If you're an employee of the NHS, listen up. NHS staff or contractors are eligible to participate in the Home User programme, enabling them to get a licensed copy of most Microsoft Office desktop applications for personal use.

You need a valid NHS email address to qualify, and under the scheme can purchase a copy of Microsoft Office or Office XP for the bargain price of £18.

And finally, the Royal Mail is putting up the price of stamps from next Monday. The price of a first class stamp is going up from 34p to 36p, and a second class stamp from 24p to 27p. If you send letters regularly, it may be worth stocking up.

Offers which continue to be valid:

You can get 50% off your food bill at La Tasca when you use one of the vouchers that will be printed in the Telegraph this week (between March 29th and April 4th). As usual, check the small print for exclusions.

And you can get two meals for the price of one at Giraffe restaurants when you use a voucher available to download from Handbag.com. Again, make sure to read those nasty terms and conditions - this deal's only available until April 4th, and not at the weekend.

If all that consumption makes you feel a touch guilty, Lidl could point you in a more active direction. Current special deals include walking tops for £4.99, kids' welly boots for £3.99 and walking shoes for just £9.99.

People who prefer to get their cardio workout walking up their local high street are also in for action this week. Fashion retailers including Debenhams, Faith and Urban Outfitters are now cutting prices by up to 50% both online and in store.

Burton also have a great offer for guys this week - buy a suit online, and get a shirt and tie pack added to your order for free.

Add a bargain DVD boxed set to your sale shopping list, and you'll be fully prepared for another relaxing weekend.

If teen dramas titillate you, this week is a good time to pick up the entire Dawson's Creek collection. It's currently available for £34.98 at Amazon - a whopping £120 cheaper than the RRP. And Asda's online DVD sale promises prices as low as £2.93 for feature films.

If you're a pizza-lover, you can get 20% off Domino's Pizza orders over £20 when you pay with your Barclaycard. Quote code BCZ8LJJJ when you're ordering. But fill up fast - the offer ends on April 30th.

Voucher code heaven can be found at myvouchercodes.co.uk, a website which lists a range of discount codes and printable vouchers to help you save on your everyday shopping.

Deals encompass everything from buy one get on free on Greggs pasties to £20 off orders at dixons.co.uk.

And Amazon fans looking for a bargain should take note of Price Cut Review, a nifty website that lists all current Amazon products selling at half price or less.

Finally, a tip from a helpful Fool reader: If you donate an item of Marks & Spencers-labelled clothing to Oxfam, you'll get a voucher for £5 off your next purchase of £35 or more at M&S.

As usual, restrictions apply, so just make sure you've read all the terms and conditions.
