£5 off £5, £20 off a £20 purchase, £50 off £100

Ah, remember those glory early days of Internet sites desperate for your business with the most ridiculous codes to tempt wary early adopters!

I bought so many CD's, DVD's and electrical stuff at prices that were practically stealing, I almost felt guilty, almost ; )

These days, internet shopping is the norm, many of the early days guys are gone (can't give the house away forever) and merchants have wizened up and have tightened their belts considerably when it comes to voucher codes, but there's still great discounts to be had for the savvy shopper.

Been keeping up with the latest celebrity stunts in an effort to boost funds for this year's Sports Relief?

With Easter just around the corner you might be suffering from chocolate overload every time you pop out to the shops, which is why our two exclusive Sainsbury's voucher codes could be just what you need.

Instead of stocking up on chocolate Easter eggs for the kids, why not treat them to some new toys instead and save yourself £5 when you spend £50, or £10 when you spend £100 by using these Sainsbury's promo codes.

That's a great alternative to chocolate hand prints and hyper kids this Easter Sunday!

Today is the 99th International Women's Day, a global celebration of women, their strengths and achievements. Many countries around the world celebrate the day with a national holiday and even though the UK isn't one of them, here at Savoo, in honour of women everywhere, we've gathered together some of our favourite money saving codes aimed at the fairer sex.

There are some things in this world that were made for blogging, and there are some things that blogs were made for. This incredible deal from Dell fits into both categories - easily!

Maybe once every year or so the computer giant treats the technology world to an incredible discount and this year is no different with this Dell voucher code for 15% off any Vostro laptop over £529 - that's an absolute minimum saving of £80.

March 17th, it's just around the corner, that's right, it's St. Patrick's day time again.

How better to celebrate than to join millions of Irish people (and good imitators) for a few drinks to celebrate everyone's favourite Welsh (that's right!) Saint.

Savoo has some great deals to ensure you can throw a St. Patrick's day party for less, click 'Read More' to see our deals and check out the Food & Beverage category for more cheap eats.

I have to admit to being completely baffled by a news story over the weekend which reported a Ryanair passenger eating an £8930 winning lottery scratchcard! Why? Quite simply he wanted his winnings there and then, mid-flight, and was told he'd have to wait until the plane landed because it was such a large amount of cash. So, in what can only be described as one of the most expensive temper tantrums ever, he ate the ticket. Quite what he hoped it would get him I really don't know, but I'm sure it'll go down (no pun intended) as one of the priciest in-flight meals ever.

It did get me thinking though, of some of the most expensive things in the world, and their more affordable alternatives...you could be surprised.

We have to hand it to High Street favourite Debenhams who has become the first British retailer to use a disabled model in a big advertising campaign - the relaunch of their best-loved Principles brand by Ben de Lisi.

It's less than a month to Mother's Day, and with Valentine's barely over, and our pockets still struggling to recover from Christmas, who can blame us for not wanting to spend hours shopping for the 'perfect gift' again. But, this is Mum we're talking about, and there is a very good reason that there's a whole day set aside especially for her, which is why most of us put in a little extra thought when choosing something we hope she'll love. In fact, a recent study by TK Maxx found that half of men put more effort into thinking of a present for their mother than for anyone else – including a wife or girlfriend.

Here at Savoo we all love our mums as well so we've chosen a selection of beautiful gifts sure to put a smile on her face and, with every one of them under £25, you just might be smiling too.

I have to admit to being somewhat disinterested in Valentine's Day. There, I've said it! Don't get me wrong, Valentine's has its place and is lovely in young relationships, or in relationships amongst the young. But after 12 years of marriage and six kids, I pretty much know my hubby loves me, and I really don't need a bunch of flowers and a box of chocs to confirm it.

However, I am still spending the next day or so filled with eager anticipation because hot on the heels of Cupid is...the Flying Pancake!

Whether you're free and single, chained down and married, or any of the variables in-between, unless you're in hibernation (and to be honest, with this weather who could blame you?) you'll know that Valentine's Day is this week.

Wherever you stand when it comes to love and romance, most people agree that a good dose of laughter makes for a great relationship so, with this in mind, every day this week we're bringing you a humourous relationship quote along with a mind-blowingly good deal. Laughter, love and savings...it just keeps on getting better.

We have another great competition running where 10 lucky people can win £150 worth of Marriott Gift Vouchers to spend in any Marriott hotel worldwide.

Treat that special someone to a romantic getaway, or enjoy a round of golf with some friends, at any of the 2800 Marriott properties worldwide.

To be in with a chance of winning simply answer an easy question at the Yorkshire Post for entry into the draw.

We've teamed up with Pocket-Lint and Adobe United Kingdom to bring you the chance of winning a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium for the PC, a superb software toolkit package worth £1614.

Chocolates, roses, dinner, maybe a movie or the theatre? Is romance getting a bit predictable? How about doing something different for Valentine's Day this year? Even better, how about doing something different, something better and saving money at the same time? What I'm suggesting, in the interest of making the Great British bedroom less 'functional' and more 'sensual', is a Valentine's bedroom makeover. Trust me, your better half will love you for it...

This week the stars were out in their finery, braving the heavy LA downpours, for the 67th Golden Globe Awards, and although the big winner Avatar came as no surprise to anyone, British hopes Helen Mirren, Emily Blunt and Carey Mulligan left empty-handed.

However, while we Brits didn't receive any gongs in Hollywood, Savoo has come to the rescue with some amazing deals that'll let you all travel the 'Golden' Globe in style without costing an arm and a leg.

Let's face it...none of us were quite prepared for this weather. Even the Met Office had predicted a nice, mild winter, so it's hardly surprising that the Arctic conditions over the last couple of weeks has grounded us all. And while our European neighbours scoff (Haven't you heard of snow chains?) and across the Atlantic laugh (Only 6 inches?) we resign ourselves to the traffic-halting, school-closing, travel-delaying phenomenon that happens to us once every decade or so.

However, as tempting as it is to stay indoors until the big freeze has passed, most of us do need to venture outside, so we've compiled some of the best boots to keep your toes toasty and your finances flush.

Here in the UK we have seen appalling weather this Christmas week, with plummeting temperatures, black ice, and deep blankets of snow meaning most of us have decided to venture out only when completely essential. Of course, this means the shops on the High Street have lost out on your business, and in a bid to shift huge levels of excess stock, today sees an unprecedented number of stores launch their Boxing Day sales online. Yes, two days early for a lot of shops, with others such as Argos and M&S launching their sales a day early tomorrow. Even High Street favourite Next is succumbing to the trend, for the first time launching their sale on Boxing Day, instead of their more traditional 27th December. So to help you grab the best bargains, here at Savoo we've listed some of the top High Street shops launching their sales online.

It's Christmas week, the tree is up and the decorations are sparkling in the glow of numerous fairy lights. The radio is blasting out all our favourite Christmas songs like Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody, Band Aid's Do they Know it's Christmas and - my personal favourite - Kirsty MacColl and the Pogues Fairytale in New York. And all the presents are bought and sitting in the back of a cupboard waiting to be wrapped.

Everything for Christmas 2009 is well and truly under control - well everything except the food, if recent statistics from Asda are to be believed. Their research suggests that the busiest time in-store will be at 12:17pm on Wednesday 23rd December. So, in order to miss the queues we've come up with the best voucher codes for you to shop online for everything from the first brussel sprout to the last crumb of Christmas pud.

With only seven days left until Christmas, more than 25 per cent of us still haven't finished our Christmas shopping. Now, traditionally it's been men who have left their gift buying to the last minute, popping into the nearest department store on their way home from work (or pre-Christmas drinks) on Christmas Eve. However, many women now admit to not having completed their shopping with less than 24 hours before the most festive - and stressful - day of the year.
