Quick guide to deals and discount websites

If you’re looking for something to do and keen to save money over the summer then today’s quick guide to online deals websites is for you.

And we start with ‘itison.com’ which launched in Scotland but has now expanded to other cities throughout the UK.

You can browse the listings, search, or join and tell is what you’re interested in and receive personalised deals.

There’s everything from afternoon tea to short breaks and hotel stays, concerts, health and beauty treatments and money off shopping vouchers.

There’s also groupon.co.uk which is offering further discounts to new customers - one thing I’ve noticed on Groupon in particular is a move away from high end luxury experiences to more day to day shopping deals and essentials such as socks, tops and even toilet rolls, so long as you don’t mind buying in bulk and storing have somewhere to store them.

As I always say if you live somewhere with space to store 90 toilet rolls I’n not sure you’d need to look for a cheap deal.

Other sites worth a look include VoucherCodes, Wowcher and HotUKDeals.

You’ll always save more if you don’t mind switching to a less known brand and there are further savings if you make group bookings so if you’ve a bunch of friends that can all do the same thing together, you’ll see some of the best deals.

As always, read the small print or ask so you’re clear exactly what you’re buying and when it expires.
