Bargain! Buy Now!

Longtime readers of this blog will know that I have something for an eye for a bargain, an undeniably handy skill in a credit crunch. Take, for instance, this simple and fetchingly plimsoll-like pair of shoes, which my delightful friend Wily Catkins is hand-modelling here:


Once, they were a whopping £70 - now, they're reduced to a mere £85!


And if that isn't enough of a bargain for you, I've found you a special deal on face mask sachets at Superdrug - 97p for one, but if you buy two, you only have to pay £3.99!


Truly, I am the new Robert Peston.

In other news, I have written a new Guardian piece on lying (and that's no lie):

and also a Cif piece on a rather wry tale:

However, I am considering giving up writing to become an expert on hot deals. Next week, I hope to bring you a brassiere slashed from £18 to £37. Now, that's what I call a bragain!
