Ikea’s hugely popular promotion, where everyone who scans its loyalty card when paying in stores gets a ‘free’ gift which could be worth £1,000+ or less than a quid, has been running since April but ends this weekend… It’s basically a prize draw, but a good one, and it’s been really popular in the past, because everyone who enters wins something – it...

If you’re shopping online for gifts, the deadline for ordering to get ’em in time for Christmas may be sooner than you think. Get it wrong and instead of presents under the tree, they could be held hostage at a courier firm’s out-of-town depot… To help avoid this, retailers now give their own final cut-off dates for orders you want...

Pucker up… there is a freebie you can claim this week which will send your Christmas spirit into overdrive – and I couldn’t keep tight-lipped about it. Starting today (Mon 12 Dec), Morrisons is giving away free sprigs of mistletoe to its customers at all 492 stores nationwide (find your nearest*). Over 50,000 sprigs will be given...

Platefuls of innuendos, rising drama and more than a sprinkle of controversy – The Great British Bake Off is nearly over for another year. With all eyes on the three finalists and their show-stopping baked beauties ahead of Wednesday’s final, we wanted to see if the high-end stand mixers they use in the ‘tent of dreams’ are...

Ikea’s promotion where everyone who scans its loyalty card when paying gets a ‘free’ gift, which could be worth £1,000+ or less than a quid. This was hugely popular when it ran from May to August, and now it’s back… This is basically a prize draw, but a good one, because everyone wins something – it might be a hot dog, which normally costs...

To much fanfare, last week Amazon* launched its new shopping service, Amazon Dash, where Prime customers (see free Amazon Prime trick) can order household essentials from 40+ brands, including Andrex, Ariel and Nescafe, at the touch of a physical button, for delivery within 24 hours. The idea is that you have multiple buttons, called Dash Buttons (see image below),...

Right now, there’s a massive B&Q clearance sale* happening. If it turns out to be anything like the same sale last year (you might remember the wheelbarrows scanning through the tills at £5), it’ll surely be very popular with any MoneySaving DIY-ers. Go quick if you’re after something in particular, as the clearance stock’s different in every store and won’t be...

DIY expert Tommy Walsh has launched a range of 200 DIY tools and equipment in Poundland stores. £1 DIY tools sounds stonking, but is it really much cheaper than the value range at your local DIY store? We’ve compared a few prices to try to hammer down an answer. As you’d expect, they cost just £1 each....

We’ve caught wind of a ‘secret’ furniture sale happening at Homebase* this week. It isn’t being openly advertised and it’s all clearance stock (so when it’s gone, it’s gone), but it looks like there are decent discounts to be had if you’re able to hunt them down. The official info – what’s happening Homebase has confirmed there’s a clearance event...
