Comparing prices online saves time and money
Sites such as www.myvouchercodes.co.uk offer you access codes which allow you to reduce your bills at a variety of retailers including Argos, Currys, Next and Tesco.
Some of the items most commonly bought online are books, CDs and DVDs. Probably the easiest way to compare prices is to use a site such as www.find-book.co.uk or www.find-cd.co.uk which compare prices on the high street and online.
When ordering online, take account of delivery charges which can bump up the cost. On Amazon, for example, you qualify for free delivery only if you spend more than £15.
Apple offers reconditioned gear from its site. You could bag a bargain iPod or Mac by buying refurbished items via Apple’s website. Each one is covered by a one-year warranty, so you can feel safe that products are almost as good as new.
