Vouchers and discounts 'can save people money'
Friday, 21 November 2008
Shoppers who are on a tight budget this Christmas can save money by using discount vouchers, coupons and promotional codes.
Websites tailored for people looking to spend less on their shopping offer a list of all the discounts and vouchers available for shopping.
According to recent research, online shopping using discount codes has become increasingly popular in the UK with ten per cent using coupons and vouchers.
While people are cutting back on spending this Christmas, they still want to buy presents and using voucher codes is a cheaper way to do this.
The discounts on offer include up to 50 per cent off some products.
In recent news, people are spreading the cost of Christmas over two months by shopping early to avoid having to pay for everything at once, research shows.
Gift cards are being bought early this year as nearly half of shoppers say they are purchasing presents in advance of December, according to Birmingham Midshires.
