Praise The Internet!

Praise the internet for... deal websites 

Being a money-tight student in the middle of London can be frustrating at times. So, like many others out there (I hope), I can spend a good few hours searching the internet for half decent deals.

I want to share with you a few brilliant deal websites that I use, so as to hopefully stop those money holes from occurring so often after expensive nights out!

Groupon.co.uk

Yes, you need to subscribe to this website and you do get a fair share of emails, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Not only does this website provide exclusive local deals, it also offers really well priced getaways, goods and events deals. It’s free to subscribe to and honestly, this website has helped me out so many times when I'm strapped for cash and need to purchase decent Christmas presents! So far, the vouchers I have bought have all worked and Groupon are very efficient in distributing them.

Timeout.com

I absolutely love everything about Timeout. Its colloquialism, its interesting facts and most of all, its complete honesty on every attraction, event and activity it reviews. When contemplating visiting somewhere, it is always Timeout I look to for guidance because of how relatable the reviews in the past have seemed to be! In terms of vouchers, Timeout has quite a few, if it is high end theatre or concerts you are after. Again you do need to sign up for email subscription but similarly to Groupon this is free. 

However, the interesting thing about Timeout, is that it has its own card, which when shown in certain London locations, will provide you with a healthy discount. This card will also give you very exclusive opportunites to see films first for free and even £40 pounds to spend at Naked Wines! This card does come at a cost of £49.00 for the year but if you like to experience London at its best, I think this card allows you to do so at a reasonable price. If you go out a lot, it will definitely save you a lot of money. 

Don't forget Timeout also has some very exciting competitions which are always worth applying for!
