There are many ways to save money by using the Internet and I think that nearly everyone knows this but where are the best offers and sites. Here I will give you a rundown of my favourite:
1. Affiliate scheme site
These sites make you shop through them to pick up points which can be redeemed for gifts. They make their money by redirecting you to the shops site and then making a percentage on what you spend. They are great as if you were going to the shops site anyway why not get something back from it. My favourite affiliate site is ipoints which has almost every major retailer, gives a good number of points and has a great range of gifts when you redeem your points.
2. Voucher codes
When shopping online try searching for voucher codes in Google first for your favourite shop. The site myvouchercodes.co.uk has loads of codes for many shops and they’re often for 10-20% off and free delivery which is great when you only spend £5 and don’t want to have to pay another £5 for delivery.
3. Savings websites
Moneysavingsexpert.com is one of the biggest names in saving and provides all the best deals and offers that are on at the moment such as 2 for 1 offers at well known restaurants, voucher codes, comparisons between credit cards, utilities, mortgages and consumer rights advice. Other sites such as thismoney.co.uk provide great advice on personal finance and global financial news.
4. Shop around
Price comparison websites are genius, they allow you to save time and effort by checking the price of the product you desire at lots of different shops in split seconds. Kelkoo.co.uk is a good comparison site for electrical products / gift. For insurance, gas and electricity comparison then check out moneysupermarket.com.
I hope you find these sites useful, I don’t know how I’ve ever lived without them as they have saved me so much money over the past few years. If you know any really useful sites that warrant a mention then post a comment and share the wealth.
