Shh! Keep it a secret! Guide to saving tons if you're still shopping this year.

Tempted to discover our saving secrets?

We have put together a little helpful guide for you to follow throughout the rest of the year to make sure you can make the most out of the deals on offer. Arranged in a month to month basis, and as the new year starts we will keep you updated.

Yet, as it is coming to the end of the year, we have created a simple guide separated into three sections under each month for you.

Each month has a section called ‘best things to buy’ – this is a simple three bullet point system with the best things to buy that particular month, and a small description.

Consequently, the next subheading is ‘dates to remember’. This heading differs in length in each month, as some months are very popular with deals, and some simply are a little more relaxed.

Find here dates to put in your calendar to make sure you don’t miss a deal! Then finally, there is a ‘facts about saving this month’ section. This can range between telling you percentage wise how much you are saving buying items that particular month and also some facts about sales in that month also.

Our aim is to help guide you through the year making savings every month and utilising the tips we are offering to help you get there!

We have also created a small graphic, that is sometimes easier for people to comprehend and goes into less details but gives you an idea on what you can save on for every month throughout the year.
