Advantages: So much money saved in every part of life.

Disadvantages: Layout

This website has saved me a ridiculous amount of money.
I first discovered it when a colleague mentioned some money off vouchers for restaurants that he got every week via email. As i like to go out to eat fairly often, i asked him where he got them from.
Then the discovery was made! I have spent alot of time goig through everything on this website, and it really has made a massive difference to the way i do alot of things.

Firstly. The website is advert and spam free, so everything there is only for saving you money. Nothing else, which is good to know! It is a little cluttered in places however, but nothing too bad, its easy enough to navigate.

Across the top are the various sections of the website.
Cards/Loans, Reclaim £1000's, Shopping/Spending, Utilities/Phones, Banking/Saving, Travel/Transport, Insurance, Mortgages/Houses, Family & Health, Protect your Pocket and the ever helpful Forum. All sections are very self explanatory really!
As you can see, theres alot to the website, and money saving tips on pretty much all aspects of life!

A few ways inw hich this website has saved me alot of cash...
- Daytrip to Dublin. If i didnt see the cheap flights section, i couldnt have gone to Dublin and back for the grand total of £2.
- Flights to the USA. The various flight checker websites all give different results, and one of the websites listed was one i had never used before... and it came out to give me the cheapest flights!
- New BT Phoneline. Didnt want to pay out £125 for a new line... there was an offer listed where all i had to do was make 10 calls per month (inclusive to my package!) and they would put the line in for nothing!
- Vouchers, vouchers, vouchers! Eating out has never been cheaper! Vouchers are appearing for so many places. And some im trying for the first time just because of a voucher! And codes for Tesco online shopping bring out monthly shopping bill down a few pounds!
- Other various items include the introduction of DooYoo to me! And many other items such as selling my photographs, free photograph printing and more.

As you can tell, just from all of that, much less money has been spent on things that i needed, and i have tried and gained new things too.

I know of many people who have been helped via the banking, cards and loans sections of this website. Finding ways to get back charges, find better accounts and make claims.

Then theres the forum. A massive sprawl of advice giving people and friendly chat. Planning my holiday next year i have already been given hotel advice, money off coupons for restaurants abroad, and fantastic information on places to go and things to see. All for cheaper than advertised!
The competitions forum is also good fun. Just a massive listing of things to win and links to the various websites hosting the competitions. I havent been lucky yet, but we will see!
There are sections inthe forum for just about everything, so if you need some advice, its definitely the place to head to.

The weekly email is a great thing to be signed up to. Thats all you get when you give your details. 1 email per week, no spam, no information sold on. And this is usually the place where you can see all of the urgent money saving offers.

As you can tell, i have a lot of praise to give to this website, and so do many other thousands of people. The only negative,a s mentioned, may be the site layout and clutter. But when it saves me so much money and offers so much advice, i really dont mind!

Summary: One of the most useful websites on the web
