By visiting websites such as www.myukvouchercodes.com shoppers are able to access codes which allow them to reduce their bills when they checkout on their favourite retailer’s websites.

There has been a substantial rise in the number of people shopping online with items often a lot cheaper than in the shops. With the slow-down in the UK economy consumers are looking for ways to make their money go further.

Many customers will be familiar with cutting discount codes out of magazines and papers and then taking them to the shop to make a discounted purchase, but it can often be an arduous task finding a voucher for something that they actually want, a problem which can be solved by using online discount sites.

Saver site www.myukvouchercodes.com offers discount codes for over 1200 popular retailers allowing shoppers to make huge savings from big name retailers such as Argos, Currys, Next and Tesco.

With busy shoppers always on the lookout for a good offer www.myukvouchercodes.com saves them not only money but also time by grouping voucher codes for all of their favourite retailers in one place.

Steve Barnes managing director of www.myukvouchercodes.com said: “In the current economic conditions, it is important to make your hard earned money go further. By using a voucher code, or discount code with your purchases, you can save money instantly, which can total £100’s of pounds a year.

“Myukvouchercodes.com is more than just a voucher code site. We have brought together 100’s of niche retailers that you would never know existed, alongside major UK brands in our virtual shopping center. Having such niche sites makes finding a unique gift far easier, saving time and money.

“Since re-launching our site recently with a fresh new design, we have seen our traffic increase by a factor of four. We have also doubled the number of vouchers available on myukvouchercodes.com and in fact, we’re now seeing retailers coming to us asking to be included on the site.

“Those who are new to internet shopping needn’t worry as the process is simple; visit the site, find your favourite retailer, note down the discount code you wish to use, visit the retailer’s website and enter the code at the checkout to save some money.”

The site has steadily grown in popularity and is viewed by many customers as the first stop they make before making a purchase.

On www.myukvouchercodes.com users have the ability to rate a code and add comments to help fellow shoppers. Codes that haven’t worked are removed immediately ensuring customers get what the voucher says they are entitled to.

Steve added: “We aim to make the whole experience as user friendly as possible and this is why we employ a rating system highlighting the most popular and useful codes”.

Shopper Sarah Louise Williams of Wilmslow, Cheshire, said: “I wish I had known about this site years ago. I had no idea that you can get a discount/voucher code for almost every major retail chain. I am starting to do a lot more shopping online now, and it always pays to visit MYUKVoucherCodes to see what discounts I can find. It maybe for a percentage off or free delivery, but every discount means more money in my purse and that’s absolutely brilliant!”

Fellow customer Emily Shepperson, from March, Cambridgeshire, said: “MyUKVoucherCodes is the site I go straight to when I’m looking to buy something online. It’s so easy to locate a code for the retailer I want to use. I have saved literally hundreds of pounds over the past few weeks as I’m buying things for my first house. I really look forward to always using MYUKVoucherCodes in my new home.”

Geoff Hales from Essex added: “MyUKVoucherCodes is a great site. I always check this one out before making a purchase on the Internet as there are discounts to be found that are not readily available elsewhere. The site is really easy to use and has saved me a fair bit of money over the past year. They have a very good range of retailers from major high street names to some obscure ones too!”
Julie Carey from Devon said: “I always check MYUKVouchercodes before doing any internet shopping. I’ve saved myself a fortune as I always find a discount voucher I can use and it’s well worth a browse through as you never know what you might find.”

With no end to the economic slow down in sight the popularity of online discount sites is set to boom.

“If you had told me a few years ago that I would be running an international food importing business I’d have thought you were crazy but life can certainly take some unpredictable turns.
I was a science teacher at Greenwood Dale School in Sneinton and was pretty happy with my lot in life. I enjoyed teaching and I’ve always been a keen rock climber so I would use the long summer holiday to head off to some far off location. It was while I was in Japan that fate intervened and set me off on a different path. It started, as these things so often do, with a girl.
Cherry was studying medicine in her home country of Thailand but was in Tokyo on an exchange programme. Meeting her changed so much for me, it’s fair to say I was smitten and luckily for me the feeling seemed to be mutual.
I returned to Nottingham and Cherry managed to sort out an exchange year so she was able to continue her medical studies at Nottingham University. We became engaged and I began regularly visiting Thailand with Cherry.
It’s a fantastic country and I soon felt very much at home there. It’s one of the few parts of the world which is yet to be westernised. If you take Bangkok for example - here is a modern city where residents are still able to live in spiritual and cultural harmony. I particularly enjoyed Thai food and even started to cook it myself. Back in Nottingham my friends all raved bout my Thai curry. When I went out to Thailand they joked that they missed my cooking more than they missed me.
When Cherry’s time in Nottingham came to an end I decided to move out to Thailand to be with her. At first I worked teaching English but soon the idea to do some kind of Thai food business really took hold of me. I realised that the cuisine on offer in Thailand was not only fantastic but also simple to make. Many people think that ‘quick’ food must be of a poor standard, but actually real Thai food is very quick and easy as well as being very healthy and delicious.
I hit upon the idea of importing authentic Thai curry into the UK in kit form and formed The Thai Curry Company in partnership with another former Greenwood Dale teacher, Frank Flegg. Because we source all the ingredients in Thailand we are able to offer premium quality food but at an affordable price, offering the consumer great value for money. This is one way in which we differ from established kit meal producers whom are often viewed as being ‘cheap’ meals.
As we manage the whole supply chain process this cuts out the middle man which offers us savings we can pass on to customers. Our curry pastes are 100 % natural and all prepared in Thailand, something that other producers cannot boast. We are currently working on convincing the big supermarkets to stock it.
Thai food is becoming more and more popular with UK diners with sales rising by as much as 20% year on year. We have launched a website, http://www.thaicurrycompany.com to promote not just our brand but Thai food in general. We aren’t in competition with Thai restaurants, if people like the food they enjoy at a restaurant then they will be more likely to want to try and recreate the experience in their own homes using one of our kits. We really want to spread the word about how fantastic Thai food is.
My life now is a far cry from my days teaching chemistry at Greenwood Dale School in Sneinton but the only thing I really miss is the holidays. Although living out here in Thailand I feel like I’m in paradise every day.”
