Advantages: free, loads of information
Disadvantages: very confusing, not organised, very busy
Well, like most people i like a good bargain or a way to save myself a few pennies, especially know with all these money worries and it doesn't help that im a student.
This is a pretty busy site and is pretty over welming, it is crammed full of information which in my eyes is a little less than easy to take in. When you enter the site you are greeted with a excentric colour scheme of bulletins lets call them, where your eyes and head have no idea where to look. Once you get past this mad mush up of information you can find some very usefull information, whether it be you just want to get a discount code/voucher, find the best bank account/morgage to go with or find more indepth information about a company or product. Basically it holds information on practically anthing which could help you save or make money.
Proberly the most visited part of the site by myself is the forums, once again a mass of information, where nothing seems to be laid out very organised and seems to be more of a mess, but this is an excellent place to ask questions about things you are unsure of, or somewhere to post your 'money saving' idea or find. You can be sure to find up to date information which is a plus as it is so highly used, well thats if you can find it.
Overall this site is a fact book in itself, it could be far better laid out in my opinion, and for god sake get rid of the mad colour scheme (it makes it look a little less proffesional to say the least). There is also an email you can sign up to where you recieve weekly emails about current information, this is worth doing. It is defently worth a look if you have the patience to trawl through the site, but all in all have a look because you never know what you could find, and best of all it is all totally FREE.
Summary: a very overloaded site, but defently worth a peek

- 09/06/09 I totally agree the forums are a mess, but it depends what you look at i suppose to what is current. |

- 09/06/09 The information about dooyoo is far from up to date! It is a useful resource but there is a lot of sifting involved. I increasingly find the frontpage tools more useful than the forum. |

- 09/06/09 From what I understand, the forums tend to be too full of nutcases to be truly useful. |
