The next big thing after Flash Mobs is Flash Sales.. websites offering a fab deal for a small amount of time. Basically, you sign up to Flash Sale websites and when a deal pops up, it’s first come first serve and get buying. You can get some really good deals… upto 70% off on luxury and designer goods.

The one that I’ve been using is Achica, www.achica.com

I found the website Crashpadder.com which is great for those who want to find a room for a bargain price in 774 cities and 54 countries! The rooms tend to be spare rooms in other peoples’ houses so they are not hotels geared to rip you off… however, be careful you don’t find that the house owner is some nutcase!

Also, for those with a spare room, it’s a chance to earn some spare cash..

Check out the site, once again www.crashpadder.com

Half Price Dining in London – Taste London

Friday, March 26th, 2010 | food with No Comments »

Taste London Card

I went out for dinner with some friends last night to a really fabulous Japanese grill place. The food was fantastic.. it was like a sushi restaurant except that what was being served is not sushi.. the food comes in the little bite sized portions like sushi comes in but most of the food is grilled with delicious little portions.

Anyway, what was even better was that my friends had a 2-for-1 deal on the place. There were 6 of us and it knocked £60 off the bill. They said that this scheme has been going for a while now.. and is called Taste London. Basically, it’s a card which you sign up to and offers 50% discount in over 800 restaurants. Just to let you know, I have no affiliation to this company .

If you like to go out and sample the wonder choice of restaurants we have in London, this is a no brainer. You will easily make your money back after a couple of meals. If you go to the website, www.tastelondon.co.uk you’ll see that it costs just under £70 a year membership. However, if you enter the promotion code WEARE4, then you’ll get it for £29.95! This is excellent and I recommend it!
