A New Way to Save Money on Your Shopping

I have come across a really good website called Bid4Vouchers which can save you money at lots of major high street stores. The site was recently featured in the Sun and News of the World, You can save money at Topman, Topshop, Burtons, Dorothy Perkins, Wallis, Miss Selfridge, Argos, Debenhams, PC World, Currys, John Lewis, Harvey Nichols, Amazon, WH Smith, Waitrose, Marks & Spencer, New Look, Sainsbury’s and more. You can pick up vouchers worth up to £500 for a matter of pounds. Each auction varies in value from £10 to £500.
They keep a stock of around £10,000 worth of vouchers on any of 30 high street stores they represent so delivery is quick and by registered post. You can play and win the day before you go shopping!
Some recent auctions on the Bid4Vouchers website are:
£250 of Boots the chemist vouchers sold recently for only £12.18
£500 of House of Fraser vouchers went for only £34.84
£25 of Argos vouchers went for only 89p
When I first looked at this site I was a bit nervous about using it because I had not heard of anything like this before and thought I could lose money. I needn’t have worried though as they are the only UK auction site that is ISTS compliant and overseen by the Office of Fair Trading’s SafeBuy scheme.
HOW IT WORKS
Each auction starts with a starting price of under £1 and closes after a few hours. When someone bids, the price goes up by a tiny amount, sometimes as little as only 1p. When the auction closes and you’re the last bidder – you get the vouchers!
It is like a cross between eBay and the countless number of voucher codes websites on the net.
