List of international online retailers shipping free to the UK
After all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday mayhem I came across a site worth mentioning – www.myinternationalshopping.com contains a directory off all the international online retailers who offer free shipping to the UK. Buying from sites in the US, Hong Kong and Europe can save you up to 40% on UK prices.
For many stores the last order date for Christmas delivery is 10thDecember so you need to get your skates on, although many US retailers offer a free upgrade to express shipping on the run up to Christmas which extends final order dates to around 18thDecember!
A report commissioned by Paypal last year estimated that there will be 18.5 million cross border shoppers in the UK by 2018 spending up to £18 billion a year so it’s definitely a growing money saving trend!…

14 quick and easy money saving tips for 2014
Here are 14 quick and easy money saving tips for 2014.
1. Set a realistic budget – the first thing to do is gather all of the information about your income and outgoings and create a realistic budget. Be honest, don’t set yourself goals you know you won’t stick to!
2. Set up your profile on cashback sites – so that any payments are sent directly to a savings account rather than your current account.
3. Always search online for cheaper products – when shopping for any new items take a note of the item and brand – then go online and see if you can find it cheaper. Users of discount code sites like www.discountvouchers.co.uk save on average £1200 a year.*

How to get £20 off at Next for you and a friend
I like Next clothes but they sometimes seem expensive, so I have been hunting around for a discount or money off code and the only thing I found was £20 off when referring a friend. They have to buy something over £50 and both you and the friend get a code for £20 off.
I tried this with a friend and two weeks after my referral, my mate got a code for £20, but it did have a short date, so watch out.
Remember you can get clothes delivered free to store next day, so you can avoid postage costs.
Here are the words from the referral page
Introduce a friend to Next and you’ll both receive £20 off. Your friend must be new to Next and place a first order of £50 or more …

How to use deal hunting communities – interview with HotUKDeals
See that picture below. It’s one shopper’s haul of discounted tic tacs! Now what has a bunch of tic tacs got to do with a hot deal? Well this is how one HotUKDeals community member found a bargain and stocked up on tic tacs. He then shared the deal so that others can benefit too.
Here’s another example – remember a couple of years back when a software glitch meant that shoppers could buy Terry’s Chocolate Oranges at Tesco for just 29p? UK stores quickly sold out of the product, and that was down to a HotUKDeals member spreading the deal.
This is community spirit at its best. A community of deal hunters, now that sounds awesome. Lots of people finding, sharing and voting on deals they find.
I had to know more, so got …
