An easier way to finding voucher codes with this browser extension – Pouch
While I love saving money, I absolutely hate searching for voucher codes.
We’ve all been there before. You are on the checkout page of a website, just about to enter in your card details, when you see the section that says ‘Do you have a voucher code?’.
So what do you do? If you are anything like me, you open up a new tab and then Google search for a voucher code for that site. Then, you are presented with an endless list of search results from voucher code websites all claiming to have amazing discounts.
Except, so much of the time when I try to redeem those voucher codes, they are ‘expired’ or ‘invalid’ or ‘not applicable to my basket’. It is super frustrating. I end up wasting so much time, and don’t even …

Research reveals UK consumers love coupons, saving £3.3 billion
By using coupons and vouchers, savvy UK shoppers saved £3.3 billion over the last year, based on new consumer research released by Valassis Limited, a UK coupon and voucher services provider.
Overall, 86 percent of supermarket shoppers use coupons with 40 percent indicating increased use from the previous year. Perhaps surprisingly, 50 percent of full-time workers revealed increased coupon usage, 12 percentage points higher than the previous year.
The survey found that 45 percent of shoppers are looking for promotional offers more than a year ago, eight percentage points higher than the previous year’s response. Younger consumers are more likely to look for deals with 55 percent of 25 to 34 year olds looking for offers compared to 28 percent of those 65 and older.
“Consumers increasingly seek out value and from a number …

Dealslands UK: another voucher site worth bookmarking?
Isn’t it annoying when voucher sites have expired vouchers at the top of lists? Seems that Dealsland doesn’t, so I did a little more digging.

Money off Merlin attractions
You have a month left to spend your 50% off entry for one adult or child at a Merlin attraction if you pick up the Walkers crisp packet promotion. If there are any packs still floating around, just buy a standard or grab bag with packs including voucher for half price entry.
If you missed the promotion, there are plenty more around if you take a look on the side of cereal packets – currently there’s a grown ups grow free on Kelloggs – and if you are under time pressure, you can also take a look on eBay. You can even spend your Nectar points on an annual Merlin pass.
Merlin has 27 top attractions, including Legoland, Thorpe Park and Alton Towers. We went to Legoland recently and we would have paid over £100… -

Tips for saving with coupons and vouchers
I am a couponer I must admit. Not an extreme one though. You know the types that can get their shopping for £5 a week and have stacks of stuff that they didn’t really want just because it was free or cost next to nothing – that is too much effort for me.
I do however save coupons, look out for them in the post and in magazines, readily accept them when handed out around town and have no problem rummaging in my bag to save 20p off an item, get a bogof or some free loyalty points on a purchase.
Invariably I have some coupons floating around in my bag or purse at all times. I do cull them and remove the out of date ones. I also stick ones that are not really …
