Stack our blagged code with existing 2for1 offer

You can get two pairs of glasses from £14 delivered when you use our MSE Blagged code MSEMAY26 on top of an existing Glasses Direct* 2for1 offer by 11.59pm on Thursday 14 May. The code also gets free delivery and 50% off silver, gold, and platinum lens packages, as well as dark and gradient tints.

This is the cheapest offer we see from Glasses Direct, and it's the first time this year it's happened (the last time was November 2025). Here's how to get the offer...

1. Go for Glasses Direct's existing 2for1 on prescription glasses offer. It has a range of 2for1 frames priced from £49*, where you get the cheapest free.

Once you pick your frames (Premium Designer frames are excluded) and select what you’ll use them for (reading, distance vision and so on), you'll be asked to choose your lens package. If you want the absolute cheapest price, you can avoid these extras by clicking on ‘continue with basic lenses’ – it's a small link underneath the main packages.

However, if you want add-ons such as scratch resistance, anti-UV or thinner lenses, our code also gets 50% off Glasses Direct’s silver, gold, and platinum packages.

2. Use our code to get £35 off AND free delivery. After adding your second pair of glasses to your basket, you can enter your prescription then and there, or opt to send it later.

Then use the code MSEMAY26 at the checkout by 11.59pm on Thursday 14 May to get an extra £35 off ANY glasses where the frames cost £49+ (before 2for1 discount), and free delivery (normally £4.95).

Combining these offers can get you two pairs of glasses from just £14 delivered. What's more, the second pair doesn't have to be the same prescription as the first, so you could get one for yourself and one for someone else.

This deal won't work on very strong prescriptions, and you'll need to make sure you choose the right lens package for your prescription – see 'More info' below.

Glasses Direct says the majority of orders are sent out within seven days, though during busy times this may be as much as 14 days. 

See our Cheap Glasses page for other glasses deals.

More info

Lens packages

  • Basic, Bronze, and Silver: Ideal for weak prescriptions with an SPH between -2.5 and +2.

  • Gold: Ideal for medium or weak prescriptions with an SPH between -4.25 and -2.75, or between +2.25 and +4.

  • Platinum: Ideal for strong or medium prescriptions with an SPH between -6 and -4.5, or between +4.25 and +6

Lens options

Single vision lenses are free with all orders. Other lenses and packages are available at an additional cost, for example, bifocals cost an extra £39, and varifocals are an extra £49.

Exclusions

Basic lenses are not available for customers with a high prescription or when choosing Kodak varifocal or blue-light lenses.

This offer won't work if you spend £49 or more on several cheaper frames (such as three frames costing £18 each) – it is only valid on the 2for1 frames from £49.

Orders for very strong prescriptions are excluded, such as where the combined SPH and CYL is greater than +/-8.00, the CYL is over +/-4.00, there is more than a 5.00D difference between each eye, or prism correction is over 4.00 in any direction.

High prescriptions

For optimal quality, you may be advised to upgrade to thinner lenses if your combined prescription power per eye is around +2.00 or -3.00. Additionally, if you opt for larger frames and have a high prescription, a thinner lens upgrade may be recommended.

Other need-to-knows

  • In some cases (depending on your prescription and order type), Glasses Direct may contact you to ask for a photo of your eyes to ensure the lenses are fitted correctly.

  • If you copy and paste the code, ensure there are no spaces at either end. If you have difficulty, try clearing your cookies and starting again.

  • Glasses Direct offers a free home trial where you can try up to four frames for free before committing. You have seven days to try them, then return them using the included pre-paid postage label.

Newbies only. Sign up by 11 May

You can get an extra £30 cashback by spending £5 or more online through Quidco, one of our top-pick cashback sites, if you're a new member. Sign up using our blagged Quidco* by 11.59pm on Monday 11 May OR before 5,000 people have signed up, whichever's first.

You then have until 11.59pm on Monday 21 December (so almost eight months) to make a qualifying purchase at one of the thousands of brands listed by Quidco. As you might expect, there are some exclusions and other things you need to know about, so please keep reading...

You'll get the regular cashback rate as well as the £30 bonus. It makes this deal a no-brainer if you've a purchase planned you can make through Quidco. For example, if you're new to both Quidco and Asda groceries home delivery, and you spend over £48 on a shop, you'll get the £6.37 on offer for spending that at the time of writing PLUS the extra cashback, netting you a tidy £36.37 in total.

Take maximum advantage by only spending the minimum. Buy something that'll come in handy that only costs £5 – provided the retailer doesn't require a minimum spend higher than that to trigger cashback. For instance, you can currently get a pack of 25 brass wood screws from B&Q or a square silicone air fryer tray from Dunelm for a fiver. But check for free click & collect locally, as delivery costs don't count towards the minimum spend.

Important. Cashback is NEVER guaranteed. It's unlikely, but things can go wrong, such as your purchase failing to track (see what to do if this happens in 'More info' below) or the company you bought from going into administration. As such, try to see cashback as a bonus rather than a certainty to avoid disappointment – further help in our Six MAJOR cashback safety rules.

It can take quite a long time to get your cashback. The £30 will appear as 'Bonus Cashback' in the 'Activity' section of your Quidco account when you sign up. Once you've made a qualifying purchase that's been confirmed, it'll be available to withdraw "within approximately one week".

However, confirmation is down to the retailer you purchased from – to get an idea of how long this might take, check the 'estimated payment date' on its Quidco brand page before spending. The whole process can take "between three to six months but sometimes takes longer," according to Quidco. For more info, see its What happens when I make a purchase? page.

There are some exclusions, so check before spending. The extra cashback isn't available on some categories, including finance, gift cards and telecoms, and on some individual retailers, providers, products and services. See the full list in 'More info' below. Only new members are eligible and you must sign up via our blagged Quidco* link. The deal can only be used once per household and can't be used with any other bonus offer, including Quidco's refer-a-friend scheme.

And finally, for full disclosure... MoneySavingExpert and Quidco are both part of MONY Group, formerly known as MoneySupermarket Group (full info in our Editorial Code). Yet just as we'd only recommend MoneySupermarket over other price comparison sites if it's best to you, the same goes for Quidco and other cashback sites. Our analysis is always based on what the top deal is – nothing else – and we think earning £30 by spending £5 or more makes MoneySaving sense.

More on the top-paying sites and boosting your earnings in our full Top cashback sites guide.

More info

The following categories (as listed on Quidco) are excluded from this deal:

Finance, Gambling (including Bingo and Lottery), Gas & Electricity, Gift Cards, Insurance (including Quidco Compare) and Telecoms.

And the following retailers, providers, products, and services are excluded from this deal:

All Bar One, Balance (now The Good Prep), BoohooMan, Browns, Casino Signup Offers, Catalink, Crunch, Daymade, eHarmony, Enterprise Car Club, Experian Boost, Experian Free Account, Free Spins Loopy, Free Spins Wizard, Giffgaff Sim, Gourmet Society, Great Magazines, JustPark, Kobo, Life Insurance Quote Compare, Little Bird, Lumin, Luxury Flooring & Furnishings, Match.com, Miller & Carter, Nicholson's, O2 free Sim, O'Neill's, Ourtime, Plum, Preloved, Quandoo, Quidco Compare, Raid: Shadow Legends, Readly, Sebogo, Simply Cook, Sizzling Pubs, Skin + Me, Skyscanner flights, Soldo, Stannp, Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery, The Good Prep (previously Balance), The Skills Network, Tide, Toby Carvery, TSB Spend & Save current account, TSB Spend & Save Plus current account, Uniform Tax Rebate, Vintage Inns, Vitl and Vodafone pay-as-you-go mobile.

What to do if your qualifying purchase doesn't track:

Quidco says to give it at least 72 hours for it to appear in your account. After that, you can raise a claim so Quidco can ask the retailer to review your purchase. To do this, hit the blue 'raise a claim' button in the 'Activity' section of your Quidco account or go to the 'support' tab in the Quidco app.

Plus 50% off your third & fourth boxes

Organic online grocer Abel & Cole* is offering 60% off your first two fruit and/or veg boxes when you enter the MSE Blagged code ACMSEMAY at checkout by 11.59pm on Tuesday 30 June. The offer's for new customers, or those who've not placed an order within the last six weeks.

If you decide to continue with the subscription, you'll also get 50% off your third and fourth boxes, with a free 500ml olive oil in your second box.

Each order within the offer must be delivered within four weeks of the previous one, or the promotion will expire.

The boxes range in size, price and variety, but the cheapest is an Extra Small Fruit & Veg box*, which works out at £9.30 delivered after the code (£5.80 for the box, plus delivery).

Delivery costs £3.50 and to keep driving to a minimum, Abel & Cole only delivers to areas on a certain day of the week. It covers England and some parts of Wales and the South West – use its postcode checker to see if and when it delivers to your area. You can't change your delivery day or choose a time slot, but you can give an option for a 'safe place' for your box to be left.

Abel & Cole normally has a £12 minimum order fee, prior to any discounts, but this doesn't apply to any of the boxes included in our deal.

Important: You'll be automatically enrolled into a weekly subscription, but you're able to skip or cancel at any time. If you do decide to continue, the code also gets 50% off your third and fourth boxes. If you want to cancel a box, you'll need to do it at least two days before your next delivery is due – so if your next box is due on a Friday, you'll need to cancel by 11.59pm on the Wednesday before.

Here are a few more examples of boxes you could get*, and how much your first box would cost when using our code, including delivery:

The Everyday Essentials Veg box* contains eight types of vegetables – so with the code it works out at about 88p per portion of veg.

Abel & Cole sells a range of products (including recipe boxes, meat & fish, and bakery boxes, as well as general grocery items), but our code only works on the 'Fruit & Veg' boxes.

Check out more ways to save on food & drink.

MSE Olivia says:

The example box mentioned above works out at 88p per portion of veg with our code. Obviously, this isn't the cheapest way to buy veg, as you could pick up a bag of carrots for about 70p at most supermarkets. However, the cost of organic carrots at supermarkets is about £1.30 a bag.

This deal could be good for you if you're happy to pay a little extra for the convenience of having fresh, organic food delivered, but also want to shop in a more sustainable and eco-friendly way.

When we checked on Tuesday 5 May, Abel & Cole had an 'Excellent' 4.6 out of 5 rating at Trustpilot from 14,700+ reviews.

1,000 codes available

Via MSE Blagged code. Valid for multi-activity camps for ages 8-16‎

Adventure holiday company PGL* is offering 50% off all kids' multi-activity camps as well as UK family adventure breaks when you book online and enter the MSE Blagged code MSE26 at checkout. If you booked, say, a two-night camp in August, prices would start from £104.50, rather than £209.

Our booking link* will take you to kids' camps by default, but if you want to book a family adventure break, select it in the menu at the top.

There are 1,000 code redemptions available, and the offer's on until 11.59pm on Sunday 31 May, or once all codes have been claimed if that's sooner. Alternatively, you can book via telephone on 0333 3212 114 (quote MSE26).

It's worth noting if you qualify for the Tax-Free Childcare scheme or childcare vouchers, you can use these to pay for your child's camp.

What trips does this work on?

This offer is valid at all nine PGL centres across the UK. There's one in Scotland, two in the North of England, two in central England, three in the South East, and one in the South West, although the family adventure breaks only run at two centres (Barton Hall, Devon and Caythorpe Court, Lincolnshire).

You can use the code on all kids' multi-activity camps and family breaks during May half-term, summer and October half-term, with travel taking place no later than Saturday 31 October or no later than Sunday 1 November for family adventures.

You can book multiple trips or trips for more than one child on one booking (uses one code), but when 1,000 redemptions in total are hit, the deal's finished. If you book two different trips under one booking, PGL might offer you a 'multi-buy' discount of 15% off, but ignore this - our code gives you a bigger saving (and you can't use both).

The first available trip starts on Saturday 23 May for a three or seven-night kids' camp.

For Family Adventures, you can choose from a two, three or four-night holiday at either Devon or Lincolnshire, and the first available trip is from Friday 22 May for a three-night stay.

The following camps are excluded from the offer: Specialist kids' camps, Family French Adventures and family activity days.

You can choose from two to seven-night stays for multi-activity trips (it won't work on 'specialist adventure camps', such as trips solely for horse riding, cooking or watersports) or two to four-night family adventures.

Here are the different trips, with prices including the discount code:

  • Two-night Kids’ Camp – from £104.50 (normally from £209)

  • Three-night Kids’ Camp – from £134.50 (normally from £269)

  • Four-night Kids’ Camp – from £209.50 (normally from £419)

  • Seven-night Kids’ Camp – from £324.50 (normally from £649)

  • Two-night Family Adventure – from £69.50 for a child and from £74.50 for an adult (normally from £139 child and £149 adult)

  • Three-night Family Adventure – from £104.50 for a child and from £114.50 for an adult (normally from £209 child and £229 adult)

  • Four-night Family Adventure – from £129.50 for a child and from £144.50 for an adult (normally from £259 child and £289 adult)

Kids will be grouped by their ages in the following categories: 8 to 11 years old, 11 to 13, and 13 to 16.

PGL kids’ camps are all-inclusive, so kids get three meals a day, accommodation in bedrooms, and a schedule of activities (there are over 40 to choose from), plus evening entertainment, all with 24-hour pastoral care.

It's worth noting that extras such as travel, camp kit, bedding, and early drop offs/late pick ups are not included in the offer and will be charged at full-price.

If you want these optional full-price extras, you'll need to add them at the first stage of your booking when you select your holiday.

How good is this deal?

This is one of the strongest deals we've seen from PGL and we last ran this offer in June 2025. In the past we've spotted an 'up to 60% off' sale but this was for last-minute trips so availability was limited. There is currently 25% off kids' camps, but of course, our code offers a deeper discount.

The average place at a non-sleepaway daytime holiday club in the UK is £175 per week, according to charity Coram, so if you're looking for childcare anyway, £209.50 for a four-night camp including food and accommodation is decent.

The code only applies to full-price camps and can't be used alongside any other offer. See full terms and conditions for kids' adventure camps and for family adventures.

Normally £38 to £50

Update Friday 17 April: Grüum decided to allocate more sets to this deal, and there are currently 8,000 remaining.

If you go via our special Grüum link* you can choose one beauty set that would normally cost £38 to £50 for £4.95 (just the cost of delivery). You can pick one from the following sets:

Spring Reset Skin & Hair Set – Grüum says the items would normally cost £38 separately

  • Hair and body wash in 'Bergamot & Grapefruit' (35g) – £10

  • Brightening face wash (35g) – £9

  • Facial moisture bar (35g) – £12

  • Roll-on fragrance in 'Scandinavian Spring' (9ml) – £12

Skin & Scent Set with SPF (Spring Fragrance) – normally £49 separately

  • Roll-on fragrance in 'Scandinavian Spring' (9ml) – £12

  • SPF30 5-star UVA face sunscreen (50ml) – £8

  • After sun bar (35g) – £15

  • SPF lip conditioner (9ml) – £14

Skin & Scent Set with SPF (Summer Fragrance) – normally £50 separately

If you don't want to pay for any extra items, make sure to click "No thanks, I'll skip this one".

The offer is available until all 10,000 sets have been claimed (there are more than 3,000 of each set), and it's limited to one set per customer. Delivery takes three to five working days.

While Grüum doesn't usually offer these particular sets for sale, similar bundles on its website start from £22, so we reckon this is a decent deal.

What is Grüum? It's an online beauty and grooming business. When we checked on Tuesday 14 April, Grüum had a 4.6 out of 5 Trustpilot score based on 6,600+ reviews.

What if I have questions about my order?  You can contact customer service by searching for your issue on Gruum's Help page.

For example, £3.80 instead of the typical £38. Plus get 35% off your second box

If you're new to tailored dog food company Tails.com* you can get 90% off your first box, and 35% off your second, when you enter the MSE Blagged code PDRUZS at checkout by 11.59pm on Sunday 31 May.

The code works on meals for one dog, including dry food, wet food and treats. As it's 'tailored' food, the price and portion size of the box will be different for each dog. A box of food will last for one month and your first box includes a portion scoop.

Delivery's free for most, but if you live in Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands & Islands or the Isle of Man it's £2.99 for orders under £30 – see full Tails.com delivery info*.

Important: You'll be enrolled in a cancellable monthly subscription. After the first two months, boxes will be charged at full-price unless you pause or cancel. You can do this any time (including within the first month) from your Tails.com account if you don't want to continue with it, and you won't be charged for further deliveries. If you decide to get the second box, the discount for it will be automatically applied when the next payment is taken.

How Tails.com works

Give it some basic info about your pooch, including age, breed and any medical or dietary requirements they have. You can then choose if you'd like wet or dry food, if your dog has any preferred flavours and if you'd like any treats included. The cost per month depends on the particular recipe for your dog – see more on Tails.com pricing.

While we're obviously not experts in dog nutrition, Tails.com has an 'excellent' 4.3/5 Trustpilot score from over 45,600 reviews. Tails.com says all of its food is developed by vets and nutritionists.

Exclusions

The code won't work on toys or seasonal items and there's a maximum discount of £75 (Tails.com T&Cs* has full info), though most won't be bothered by that maximum, with the average monthly price of food being about £38.

See our MoneySaving guide for dog owners for more ways to save on costs.

Via MSE Blagged code

If you've been eye-ing up Ted Baker prescription specs or sunnies, you can get a pair for £37 delivered (normally £135), with the MSE Blagged code MSE37TB via our link at SpeckyFourEyes*. The code's valid until 11.59pm on Sunday 31 May.

The code is only valid on selected Ted Baker items found via our link, and you'll need to enter it in the vouchers box on the 'Shopping cart - summary' page once you've chosen your frames and lenses.

Need-to-knows for getting the cheapest price

  • To get them cheapest, pick 'continue with free lenses' when asked to choose your lens package (stage five of the checkout process), as thinner or scratch-resistant lenses will cost £15-£150 extra. To avoid other extras and keep costs down, select 'skip step & continue' until you reach the checkout.

  • You can either enter your prescription during the checkout process, or opt to send it later. Some frames aren't suitable for high prescriptions, so keep an eye out when choosing. Do note that only standard lenses are included in the price – you'll pay extra for bifocal or thin lenses.

  • Select 'Royal Mail Standard' delivery – our code will make this option free (normally £6.99). Delivery takes 7-20 working days.

You can use the code more than once but can only use one code per item, per transaction – so you'll need to make multiple transactions if you want more than one.

SpeckyFourEyes says there are good stock levels available, but all frames are subject to availability, so they could still sell out fast if demand is high.

If you need to contact SpeckyFourEyes about your order, you can do so via this special contact page.

MSE Georgia-May says:

It's tricky to compare prices for these exact frames, as many of them are end-of-line and aren't sold elsewhere – but I reckon £37 all-in for a pair of branded prescription specs or sunglasses is pretty decent. They're normally £135 at SpeckyFourEyes, and when I checked on Friday 20 March, I found some for up to £190 at Boots.

SpeckyFourEyes may not always be cheapest, so do your own price comparison before buying. See our Cheap Glasses page for other deals on specs.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
