Online Outlet Shopping Clearance deals from M&S, Argos, Tesco, Net-A-Porter, and many more

New M&S clothes online OUTLET storeUp to 40% off plus 10% more

M&S has just opened up its discounted outlet store prices to web users. Buy online via M&S Outlet and you can get discounts of up to 40% off men's, women's and kid's clothing. Homeware and other M&S ranges are not included in the online outlet.

Payment and delivery for M&S is powered by Amazon. It is fulfilling payment and delivery on M&S's behalf so you'll need to register for an Amazon account. M&S will prompt you to do this if you don't have one.

Although there are some strong bargains to be had, eg, a snake skin print dress for £22.50 (was £45), and Blue Harbour shirt for £12 (was £29.50), forumites have reported that prices are not as strong as sale prices, so if you're after something in particular, you might be better off waiting for a sale.

Extra 10% off and free delivery

Sign up to M&S's Outlet newsletter and you'll be emailed a free 10% off code. The code's valid when you spend £1 or more at the M&S Outlet only, and is not valid with any other codes.

Plus, spend over £30 before Sun 4 Mar and you'll get free delivery (usually £3.50).

You can't return items to M&S stores

It's important to note you can't return items to an M&S store - you must return them by post and cover the postage (though you can get the initial delivery you paid, back see the Delivery Rights guide). Any refunds will also be powered by Amazon but you can see full instructions on the M&S refunds page.

The OutnetPosh women's fashion from Net-A-Porter

If you're into designer clothes and have the budget to match, The Outnet* is worth perusing. Created by the same people as fashion mag favourite Net-A-Porter, it offers clothes and shoes from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs and Jimmy Choo et al.

As you might expect given the names above though, 'discount' here's very much a relative term. The biggest bargains appear in the site's occasional short-term sales, often lasting just a few hours to generate more buzz, so it might be worth signing up to its newsletter to stay informed on these.

ASOSFor men and women, plus regular clearance sales

Asos's outlet offers 'up to 70% off' branded clothes - a fairly meaningless tagline. Yet discounts of around 50% are quite common, and the range is constantly updated, if not often very exciting.

Of course, it's rare for Europe's biggest online fashion store not to be having a giant clearance sale anyway, so check that out while you're there.

Ted Baker Ted's shed outlet store for men, women and kids

Ted Baker* fans might be aware of its dedicated outlet, which is run by the folks at MandM Direct. It sells last season's stock at up to 75% off. There are some top deals on kidswear here too.

TK Maxx Last, last chance clearance items

The bargain hunter's high st. shop par excellence, TK Maxx has now moved some last-ditch clearance stock online. Currently it's mostly handbags and accessories, and just like when you go in-store it's a total lottery, but that's half the fun.

Yoox High end designer fashions

One of the first big online fashion retailers, Yoox* offers stock from a massive number of designers, and from many previous seasons. Much of it is reduced to varying degrees, and there are often designer sample sales too, so while it isn't officially an outlet, it may as well be.

Comet White goods and appliances

Rather than set prices for returned appliances, Comet sells them in auctions on its Clearance Comet site. The bidding process works in the same way as eBay, and most auctions start at £1, making huge savings possible if you catch it at the right time.

There are sections for all the other electronics Comet sells too, but these are currently rather sparsely populated. Hopefully they'll pick up in future.

EBuyer Outlet Computers, components and peripherals

Computing retail giant Ebuyer* has recently started an outlet section on its site. Almost all products featured are ex-display, so some will be in less than perfect condition, and there's generally just one of each item.

In a few cases because stock has grown older since it's been put in the outlet section it's actually cheaper to buy them new, so double check before paying. While many of the savings here aren't huge, Ebuyer's often the cheapest place to buy things.

Humax manager's specials Hard disk Freeview & digital recorders

Widely regarded as the top manufacturer of 'Freeview +' boxes - i.e. the ones you can record free-to-air telly on, Humax sells boxes that have been returned and repaired direct from its website, at discounts of around 30%.

Amazon Clearance deals plus find bargains in seconds

This isn't technically an outlet deal, but Amazon* is currently having a big clearance sale across its whole range. As ever, compare the discounted prices before buying to make sure you're getting a proper bargain.

Find the cheapest in seconds: There's a nifty techie way to make Amazon show you only discounted products, and you can even set the level of discount yourself (i.e . Use our Hidden Bargain Finder Tool to get the cheapest.

Dell Computers and laptops for home and business

The biggest computer manufacturer in the world, Dell* has a specific site section for refurbished products, though shipping costs can be steep when there are no special offers. As Dell's so big there's loads of constantly shifting stock, but you have to order fast; it'll remove items from your basket after 15 mins.
