Here are some of the best deals this summer

You’d dwell to try this

Gold medal-worthy deal from furniture chain Dwell. Visit dwell.co.uk/join.php and sign up, and you get a free £15 voucher to spend at its shops (including Balham, Croydon, Kingston, Richmond, Tottenham Court Road, Westfield White City and Westfield Stratford City). There’s no minimum spend so, in effect, anything which costs less than £15 is free. There are plenty of vases, candles, clocks, cushions and more that all qualify.

Keep children busy

Are the children already driving you mad? Parents can use childcare vouchers from employers for holiday camps to cut the cost. Anyone whose firm offers the vouchers can sacrifice anything up to £243 from their salary each month. The amount is exempt from tax and it can then be used to pay for holiday schemes and activity camps from a variety of providers across London, including Camp Beaumont, PGL and Supercamps.

Book a good deal

Here’s a cheap way for Kindle-users to beef up their summer reading list. Amazon’s “Kindle Reading Marathon” means hundreds of books — including those by Andrew Marr — are on sale for less than £2. And anyone spending more than £20 on the sale items also receives £5 gift vouchers to spend at Amazon.
