Electrics, discounted, in the UK.

Advantages: Competitive prices, easy to navigate site,fast delivery
Disadvantages: None.

...About a year ago we wanted to replace our Video player. For various reasons we decided to go for a DVD Recorder/VHS Combi. And so the search began. After deciding the particular model we wanted, we began searching for the best price. Trailing the shops was out of the question. Nine times out of ten you can get it cheaper online, and can get the most up to date models. So by-passing the high street I went straight to an online search. Using my favourite price checker the site listed as the cheapest was Electrical Discount UK. So off I went to have a look. Going to the website you might be a bit put off by the home page. It is nothing fancy, in fact could be seen as cluttered. What at first appear to be ads down the site on a more thorough look are in fact certificates and approvals from various organisations. There is also...

Family Railcard - great discounts

Advantages: Great savings and reasonable cost to buy - check out the offers
Disadvantages: Don't do one for just adults.

...I bought my first ever railcard this year - I am a devoted driver and the cost of fuel versus the cost of going by train has never really compared whether there was one of you in the car or four. i personally never felt that I didn't use the train enough to re-coup the cost of the railcard - how wrong!. I bought my card via a link on money saving expert for £18 as opposed to £24, there have been promotions since giving you 3 months free and then buy for £12 for the year. The card enables up to 4 adults and 4 children to travel on one railcard, but to get the discounts you must have at least one child travelling with the party. The card then gives a third off all adult fares and 60% off all child fares even if you book in advance. This year I booked with the maximum notice for the 3 of us to be to London (2 adults and 1 child...

Review of Discount Railcards

Discount prices and fast service.

Advantages: Good prices and fast postage
Disadvantages: None

...was £19.99 instead of £30. These are both fragrances I buy and I was pleased with the prices offered. There is a blog section and also testimonials from customers, as well as further sections on electrical goods such as blood pressure monitors and massagers. Information is also given on free gifts available when you spend over a certain amount. A message pops up when you first access the site telling you that if you are ordering for the first time you will receive 5% discount on your order. There is also an option to join the Halfpriceperfumes.co.uk club where for £10 a year you will receive 5% discount on all your purchases, no matter how much you spend, and you will also receive a £10 E-voucher to give to a friend to use on their first order. Overall I found browsing the site very easy and there were quite a few bargains and good...

Give the finger to Dixons and Comet

Advantages: Fast delivery, cheap, good service
Disadvantages: None

...on both items- around £330 on the TV and £150 on the VCR. So I decided to shop on-line, and used the Pricerunner website. Both items are quite popular and widely-available so it popped up with about 15 websites selling what I wanted, which is certainly a good contrast to the 2 choices I had on the high street! The prices varied massively, but on both items it seemed to be Empire Direct and dabs, which I?d heard of, and Electrical Discount UK, which I hadn?t, which gave me the cheapest deals, all within a few pounds of each other. I wasn?t keen on dabs because I?d had experience of their poor customer service is the goods turn out to the faulty and I found their website confusing and very lacking in information on the products. Empire Direct seemed better but I?d heard very conflicting stories about the company. In both cases, pricerunner...

Review of Electrical Discount UK

Brilliant infant car seat

Advantages: Excellent for safety, comfort and totally practical
Disadvantages: no negatives for this product

...I used this for my daughter and used it from birth right through to the upper weight limit which is actually higher than most other car seats in this category. She always seemed so content in it and happily napped when travelling. The sun canopy is excellent, great for protecting the baby when driving and carrying about. Sun canopy also stores away easily when not in use, remaining attatched but out for the way. I also bought the easybase which made loading and unloading baby from car very quick and easy - especially when its raining which it so often does here. Also purchased mosquito net & Raincover both excellent purchases and in the UK I certainly needed them. I liked the fact that there were internal pads that could be removed as she grew to enable more comfort and space for her within the seat. Covers are easily removed for washing...

Avoid Rip-off New Car Prices

Advantages: Big Savings, Professional and Helpful Service
Disadvantages: None really

...For those of you who are thinking of buying a new car then I would like to introduce you to a way of avoiding paying the over-inflated UK prices and that is to import your own car. I had heard before that it was much cheaper to import a car from Europe than to buy it here but I always thought that it meant travelling to Europe to pick it up and lots of complicated paperwork for the import process. However, more recently a number of car importing agents have appeared on the web which make the process a lot easier than you might imagine. So when my company decided it was no longer going to give me a company car I was faced with the prospect of taking my allowance and buying my own. I wanted to get a good car that would last and as I had been well impressed by driving one before I decided to go for a Saab. At first I looked through...

Review of Auto Source UK Car Importer

Carsource.co.uk - the best car sourcing site

Advantages: Comprehensive, over 148,000 used cars for sale, easy to use
Disadvantages: A lot of adverts, cant take into toilet to read.

...Carsource.co.uk is basically a webiste for sourcing new and used cars accross the UK. I first was aware of this site by clicking for free points on mutualpoints.com, but never really had the use for it until recently when I was asked to help a friend purchase a car. There once was a time when nearly all car purchases were made through publications such as Autotrader and Loot but the balance of power has shifted dramatically over the last few years towards web based search tools such as carsource.co.uk and it does not look to be abating. With this is mind, I sat down and used carsource.co.uk for the first time as a genuine search tool and not just as a way to earn free points. The site. The site itself is very comprehensive in options. You have the ability to primarily search new and used cars, sell your vehicle and even check...

Review of carsource.co.uk

You don't have to pay the list price for a car.

Advantages: By shopping around you may get a better deal
Disadvantages: Can be time consuming and we lose out to the Europeans again!

...harmonisation throughout Europe it is not something we should consider. Each state should be free (as it is) to dictate its own fiscal policy without interference from Big Brother Europe. Indeed, the main reason why I am so opposed to European integration is the fact that, as an island nation we will always be on the fringes of a united Europe geographically and nothing will ever change this. This geographical limitation will have a knock on effect on pricing and freedom of movement to and from the UK as additional costs need to be factored in. But, back to cars.... We can all carry on whinging about the prices that we are being made to pay but it doesn't stop us buying. The car is moving away from being a luxury item to a necessity. Remember though, there are ways you can save money on a new purchase... BUY ABROAD If you are...

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...
