I always check the hotukdeals app or website first and then Google discount codes. Then I check blue light incase I can get an NHS discount

Pen and paper of google searches and reviews - and check stock levels before you get excited about a bargain - especially at Argos - check customer reviews

i google it, and then use topcashback to get a discount on it, via the money back!

Price runner and kelkoo - and good old google

I use price comparison sites to find the best price then see if I can get any discount with blue light card or voucher codes. Then I order through top cashback

Sign up to Quidco then check if retailer has deals. I usually use e-bay. If you connect your e-bay account with your nectar, you get points which do mount up and can be converted to credit.

I find it easier to search for a particular item one at a time, and compare the prices via Google shopping..always check on ebay n vinted too for a bargain

I check on Google first and then amazon, eBay and market places on Facebook.

I use price comparison websites then check for voucher codes too.
Have recently used cash back websites although continue to await cashback being applied?!

Google price comparisons sites - there are loads, and cut and paste the item you are looking for - always read the customer reviews - cheapest is NOT always best, and check if you can get cashback or points if you're buying from a supermarket.

Use Kelkoo - I find that one the best of those out there.

Black Friday deals are great, you can sign up for newsletters that let you know when they are happening. Price comparison websites are also great!

I would recommend using pricerunner and kelkoo for the item you are looking for - read the reviews and if there is interest free credit - that's a plus for me - I can pay for it in instalments

My tips are not to get drawn in by huge discounts on white goods - there maybe a reason behind it - do your research first, read verified reviews, and the specs of the item - it's no point buying a half price washing machine with the spin is only 800 for instance - THEN do your price comparison on the sites available

I use google search and every site possible to find the best deals and I always read the reviews of the seller before I buy.

a general google search is a brilliant way to find where the product you need is cheapest especially if it is a specific product you are after - just type in the brand and product name. Then I check the delivery options as that can sometimes be a hidden cost that means that the best deal isn't always the best deal once delivery fee is factored in.

Always use a cashback site.

I love camel camel camel to show me if the price drop is genuine or if it's been that price often before, can help me see if I need to grab it now or can wait!

Use cashback sites, Google for discount codes, check whether there's a discount for email newsletter sign up (and then unsubscribe when they get annoying)

I always search deal sites for offers or discount codes then use a cashback site. Sometimes leave something in a basket overnight i n case the company sends a discount.
