Holidays from £15 - Daily Mail offer

You need to act quick to take advantage of this one. Because it's a token collect. Six from the Daily Mail newspaper and one from the Mail on Sunday and the last one is being printed on 10 July.  So you need to start today, tomorrow or Saturday.

Price is per person (based on four sharing). So what's the catch? Well it's in a caravan. But I've stayed in these vans several times and they're not only fine but are in fine locations. And for a few quid a head who's complaining?

Find out more and book here:

PS. There are two tokens in today's paper to get you going.

Cheap chimeneas? Well, prices are falling (if not smashing)

Anyone who has read my book will know that I wasn't particularly kind to people who buy chimeneas. (My brother loves his even if the first one did arrive smashed into a million pieces.)

ChimeneaI was using the chimenea as an example of things people buy that they don't need.

But time moves on and prices are coming down. And there is a growing range of cast iron ones that are extremely unlikely to break in the post or if they're knocked over.

This site has loads being discounted at the moment. This one (pictured) for example: Small chimenea with grill.

Ryanair £5 summer flights (July and August)

RyanairRyanair is the Marmite of the skies. You love it or you hate it.

You respect the low prices, the fact it has shaken up the market for the good, its record on punctuality and the go-getting attitude of the chief executive Michael O'Leary - or you hate the fact you don't get an allocated seat, the extra charges such as pay-to-check-in and pay-to-pay unless you have an elusive Electron card and the customer's-always-wrong attitude of the chief executive.

Whatever side of the perimeter fence you sit, you can't deny that flying halfway across Europe for a fiver plus taxes and other cr*p is a fine way to see our bit of the world, especially if the deal is available in the school summer holidays, which this time it is.

Bargains at the Argos clearance store on eBay, including the £2.99 ghost costume


Argos, as I have said previously, is, on a Saturday, a wonderful, free theatre of chaos where youngsters act out a game of trying to match the box with the customer in a race against a conveyor belt. I love it.

But perhaps a better aspect of Argos is its clearance outlet on eBay, where it offloads items from out-of-print catalogues and refurbished electronic goods with sometimes huge discounts.

Official Argos Clearance Outlet

My favourite item at the moment has to be this children's ghost costume on sale for a mere £2.99 + £1.99p+p. The nearest equivalent on the main store site is a do-it-yourself nun outfit at £17.59. The choice is yours.

4,000 free tickets to iTunes festival

Free music is great. Even better is when it's one of the world's top acts that you're not paying to see. That's why the iTunes festival is worth a mention.

It runs every night in July at the Roundhouse in Camden, London, and to get tickets all you need is to be a Facebook friend of iTunes or, if that's all a bit too revoltingly corporate wacky, sign up for a free Standard Card from the London Evening Standard newspaper.

Another route if you don't want either of those is to enter this competition.

Personally I'd use this route:

www.standard.co.uk/itunes

You can sign up for your card during the application process. And tickets are made available for different artists every week.

Sub £10 Blu-ray discs at Play.com

The latest attempt to get the viewing public to replace their movie collections, this time with Blu-ray, feels, predictably, like a con. Why the high prices for a Blu-ray disc when DVDs are now retailing for a few quid?

Valkyrie Obviously, the movie business is suffering at the hands of pirates and they have to make a return on their investments.

So make the movies available and affordable! People will then buy them. And you remove much of lure of the black market. But no, the films are being drip-fed on to the market and the prices are laughably high.

It is, however, slowly improving.

I'm delighted to see that Play.com has just announced a sale with its own selection of Blu-ray films (others have similar deals) under a tenner. They're also advertising DVDs from £3. Worth a mention because the prices include delivery.

As ever, check out the useful Find-dvd.co.uk for price comparisons on DVD, Blu-ray, books, CDs and games.
