Do my research online, use quidco, see if banks have cashback offers, use discount sites/voucher codes, sign up to MSE weekly emails, follow the Christmas bargain thread on mumsnet. Ask myself do I really need it?

Latestdeals.co.Uk and hotukdeals.com if I need to buy a gift.

Kelkoo for electrical and mysupermarketcompare for my shopping

I use topcashback and Blue Light discounts wherever possible. Google shopping to get an idea of prices. If I don't need something in a hurry I'll wait and keep an eye on it for a while. And I look into supposed "discounts"; sometimes they are just marketing and the product can be had for a better price.

Kelkoo and Google shopping can work well

Google the product then go to the shopping segment and I get the price comparison, money supermarket for my utilities, and insurance annually, and 'Trolley' for supermarkets (I save vouchers from Tesco and Nectar point for Christmas)

Check your emails regularly - including spam for any flash sales - of forthcoming sales to put on your diary - Argos sometimes send vouchers and discounted sale dates.

I love getting a bargain so will use google to search for an item and check the shopping section.

I also use point cards as they quickly add up to money off vouchers- nectar is brilliant for this!

I also check out Vinted/eBay as people will sell items unwanted gifts new for a lot less so best to check on their first.

Get your best price by comparing - then seen of you can get discounts via being referred through Quidco or TopCashback who can give a percentage back on top. Amazon warehouse or refurbished is a good idea too - I have done this several times on phones and an iron with good results

Google Shopping for me

I use the site "HotUKDeals" and always check there for a good deal before purchasing.

Google everything - and check my emails for a discount, plus I have all my shopping apps (Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys/Morrisons) to check for member discounts and clubcard prices

Kelkoo and getting cash back on my Chase card and topcashback

I've used this when buying a new TV on-line https://fairwayrock.com/ - then bought via Quidco and got an extra 4% off

I have used this in the past and found good deals https://pricespy.co.uk/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA6vaqBhCbARIsACF9M6mVaoKdDW2bXfS-MFyxEZ_xgSsLtiUGNOtQGKmX7QJow06aniN5SdgaAqBmEALw_wcB

https://www.compareaprice.co.uk/buy-online. good because they include refurbished too

For Amazon I always use Camelcamelcamel to check the price history of an item I want to buy. Let’s you know if the current price is good or not.

https://www.pricerunner.com/ is the site I use most when making an on-line purchase, and then like others have said buy via topcashback for a small percentage off - paid in ££

Tips are to check emails for discounts - especially close to Black Friday, buy through a cashback site and I found this site yesterday https://www.idealo.co.uk/

Another www.trolley.co.uk user here! I also use Google & if it's an Amazon item, I'll add it to my basket so I'm notified of any price changes when I access my basket & then nab it at it's best price!

I always do a Google search for voucher codes before making a purchase and I have a blue light card so I check that too. Sometimes my bank offers me a certain amount cashback for buying from certain websites too. The website/app hotukdeals is also amazing

I always search for discount codes and use my workplace discount app, plus topcashback or Quidco. And I have a cashback credit card.

Oh dear I feel like I’m shopping in the dark ages! I keep a look out and check my emails for offers also sign up if there is something I’m interested in put it in my basket and wait for the discount offer email to arrive.

Find the item I want then search via Google for the cheapest seller. Also check out Ebay & Vinted.
