Current Discounts And Deals #28


Updated on 16 December 2008 | 0 Comments

Whether it's fashion or film that interests you, here's our latest midweek discounts and deals.

Just when you thought spring had sprung, the weather has taken a terrible turn for the worse. But aside from the stormy weather, here's our latest money saving tips set to blow you away.

If your child or anyone you know receives disability allowance, attendance allowance or is registered blind and is also a keen movie buff, why not apply for a Cinema Exhibitors' Association Card? The card entitles carers to a free companion ticket for every trip to the movies.

The card is valid for three years from the date of issue, with most cinema companies across the UK participating in the deal. A processing fee of £5.50 is chargeable per card. Application forms can be downloaded from the website.

Fashionistas listen up. As part of the launch of their Spring/Summer collection, Hobbs is offering 10% off all full price items from 14th - 16th March. If you pop down to your local participating store, they will even hand you a free glass of bubbly. Alternatively, use the code 10SS08 for online purchases.

The bargains just keep coming from online retailer Play.com. The site is currently hosting a sale with up to 80% off some items. This includes DVDs from £2.99 and albums for less than £2. Worth a browse.

And if you think that's a bargain, WHSmith has also jumped on the sale bandwagon, offering up to 75% off selected DVDs.

Finally, if you're a new Orange Pay As You Go customer, make sure you take advantage of their latest promotion. Until the end of April, text Orange to 60040 to receive either £1 or £5 free credit, 50 free texts, or if you're lucky, even a free Wii.

Texts cost 10p and you can only take part once. However, you are guaranteed a prize. So text away!

Offers which continue to be valid:

Young travellers listen up. Until 16 March, National Rail is offering a Young Persons Railcard for half price at just £12. If you're aged between 16 - 25, the potential savings could be huge, as if you spend over £36 a year on rail trips the card will already pay for itself.

Hurry, as the offer is only available online by using the promotional code SAVING12.

Spend £50 or more at John Lewis and use this voucher to get £10 off your first purchase online.

If you want to do your bit for the environment - and make a bit of extra cash - why not visit Green Metropolis.

The site will pay you £3 for every book you sell, and donate 5p to the 'Tree For All' campaign, run by the Woodland Trust. If you fancy a good read, you can also buy books here for £3.75.

Uniqlo is currently selling a wide range of cotton cashmere sweaters - for men and women - at 2 for £29.99 instore.

Fancy a quick Easter break but don't want to venture too far afield? Travelzoo, in conjunction with De Vere, has slashed up to 60% off bed and breakfast prices at 22 of its hotels across Britain. Rates start from just £39 per room, per night. As ever, there are some excluded dates. Check the website for details.

If you like a good brew, why not pick up a promotional pack of Tetley Tea? At the moment, you can get a bonus 2 for 1 voucher which can be used at a range of theme parks including Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, and Chessington World of Adventures. Not bad for the price of a cuppa!

If your summer holidays still seem a VERY long way off, check out Ryanair's latest promotion and book yourself a spring getaway instead.

Cheap flights are currently on offer to destinations all over Europe for £10 each. The airline is known for its controversial advertising though, so just make sure you read all the small print.

If you fancy putting your feet up at home, check out the tipple at Marks & Spencer. The store is currently offering 20% off all wine, champagne and spirits - plus a further 10% off if you buy six bottles or more.

The next one's for Londoners only, I'm afraid: Transport for London has now launched its 2008 Oyster card offers.

There are dozens of two-for-one deals at top attractions, like Madame Tussauds and The London Dungeon.

Two-for-one West End shows include 'Chicago' and 'Avenue Q' - and there are also great offers on museum exhibitions, restaurant meals and lots more.

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.

Kellogg's is offering a 'free' zoo ticket on selected packs of cereal, between now and March 23rd. Just make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully -- the other ticket holder must be a full paying adult, and the offer applies to participating zoos only.

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.

The items are sorted into relevant categories to peruse at your leisure. If you're an avid Amazon shopper, don't forget this great money saving gem from the online giant.
