Update: The Groupon Voucher Giveaway has ended. Thanks to everyone who participated! A winner will be announced shortly.

We all know that it’s not always easy to treat ourselves. It’s the same old conundrum: if we have the time, we often don’t have the money, and vice versa. But if somehow you are able to conjure up a spare evening or weekend, then there are lots of ways that you can do it on a budget. Of course, our readers know that there is a plethora of voucher codes out there that get you money off your favourite things. But on top of that, there are daily deal websites which offer money-off vouchers every day, for a whole range of products and services.

Take Groupon, for example. Each of the deals on their site gets you up to 70% off, with a huge choice of vouchers available. The premise is simple: the site features several new deals every day, in cities all over the UK, which are available for just that 24-hour period. If you like the deal, you buy it online, and if enough other people buy it, you get the voucher – and the saving. So you can treat yourself to anything from a mani-pedi to an adrenaline-filled day out paintballing without breaking the bank.

And if you haven’t used Groupon before, now’s your chance! We’ve got two Groupon vouchers, worth £100 and £50, to give away to two readers. For your chance to win, all you have to do is leave your email address and a comment stating your ideal Groupon experience. We’ll pick a winner and a runner up, and email them the vouchers. Good luck!

Sometimes it feels good to splurge on designer guilty pleasures, but getting into the habit of splurging can make a strain on your wallet. Looking fabulous always seems to come with an expensive price tag, but fear not, there are ways to look beautiful, elegant, and glamourous without paying the hefty price. Trick your way into the realm of the elite with just a few simple tips. 

Playing Dress Up: Say you’re invited to an event and you don’t want to wear an old dress you already own, yet you can’t afford to buy a new one. You might think that means you need to skip the event altogether, but Girl Meets Dress has your back! A site dedicated to letting you rent designer dresses that normally range from £1500-£3000 at extremely discounted prices. You wear the dress for the night and return it to them, just like the celebrities do. And from now until 31 October, you can rent an exquisite Herve Leger dress for just £39. You only wear these special event dresses once anyway, so why not save some money while you’re at it!

An Up-Do For You: Now that you have the dress covered, creating a designer hairstyle that stays within your budget is your next feat to accomplish. While saving money on hair salon prices is not as easy as simply renting a dress, you can make your own fabulous up-do while disguising it as hair salon quality. With video tutorials on the web, you can become an expert in no time. From braids, twists, and elegant buns, learn the tips, tricks, and techniques from hair stylist experts on YouTube, and you will be a stunning star for the night.

If you’re planning to take a trip to Paris anytime soon, it’s time to think outside the Parisian Vacation box! Yes, you could spend your days wandering in and out of historic, beautiful churches and museums and dining on everything from rustic to elegant dishes, but there are other ways to enjoy the fabulous offerings of Paris…and save money!

Disneyland Paris: Take a break from sightseeing and give your kids an opportunity to see Mickey, Donald Duck and the rest of the Disney gang at Disneyland Resort Paris. And if you book your trip by October 26 you can get two nights and two days free when you book two or three night breaks on selected dates at Disneyland Resort Paris.  

Do Nothing: Vacations should never, ever be tiring, yet we always seem to spend so much of our holidays rushing from activity to activity—so much that we oftentimes need a vacation to recover from our vacations. My suggestion: take a day off! Spend one entire day of your vacation doing nothing. Read a book, lounge by the pool, walk along the Seine,  take a nap. Schedule absolutely nothing for one 24-hour period, and you may actually feel rested once you return home.

Then came Long Tall Sally (you gotta love that name). The tag line, “Tall is Beautiful,” leaves little doubt as to the goals of this retailer: to provide fabulous fashionable options to women who are long and lovely.  The shop is devoted to women who are 5’8” (173 cm) and above, and they carry just about everything any women could need to look stylish, from jeans and jackets to dresses, leggings and tights.

And since fabulous fashions tend to look, shall we say, odd, if you’re walking around barefoot, Long Tall Sally also offers shoes that range from sizes 9-13. Plus, they even carry half sizes! And these are definitely not your grandmother’s sensible shoes. You can find everything from pumps to flats to workout shoes and more. And if you order by October 15 you can get 20% off during the company’s Mid Season Sale. You only have 10 days left to get in on this great deal, so get going!

Choose Your Identity: Whether it’s spooky, sexy, or somewhere in between, it’s fun to take on another identity—if only for a few hours. But when you’re selecting a costume, make sure that you choose something that you’ll not only look fantastic in, but feel comfortable in as well. There’s no way that you’ll qualify for the Best Costume award if you’re struggling to stand, sit or move in a costume that’s too tight or keeps getting snagged on things.  

Special Effects: A fabulous costume is one thing, but it’s the accessories that truly make the ensemble come together. From shoes to a funky hair-do to body glitter—all of those extra little touches make a big difference. If you’ve decided to go the scary costume route this year and you really want to make a statement, make it with your eyes. LensWay is offering £5 off, plus free delivery of its Halloween special effect contact lenses when you order at least one pair. Just use the code: CODESCOUKSCARE. This offer is a Codes.Co.Uk exclusive, and you can choose from super scary options, including Vampire Red, White Out, Angelic Blue, and Red Cat Eyes.

The Tastes: If you’re in Ireland, you must take a bite out of the Dublin Lawyer, a traditional shellfish dish made of lobster cooked in whiskey and cream. Locals like to enjoy this dish with Guinness, a beer that originated from Dublin. While taking a sip of the finest beer around, experience the authentic ambiance of an Irish pub by visiting the Temple Bar. You can grab a drink or two and chat with local residences who will give great insight on the hidden treasures of Dublin.

The Sounds: While strumming along the streets of Dublin, take a second to submerge yourself in the Celtic sounds of traditional folk music. You’ll be delighted by the charming tunes of the fiddle and the whistle that’ll get your toe tapping. You might even be up for a round of the Irish step dance.

The Deal: And if you’re going to travel to Ireland, you might as well get a good deal on your trip. As one of the world’s leading providers of accommodations, Hotels.com brings you an incredible deal that takes up to 40% off hotel stays. During this autumn sale, you don’t even need to use a voucher code. Simply book your hotel and the savings are automatically applied at checkout. Take advantage of this brilliant opportunity by 2 November and get great savings.

For Him: Whether you are buying for a boyfriend, father, or brother, it’s always tough figuring out what to get for a guy. Buying a tie, wallet, or watch can be too formal and sometimes outrageously expensive. You want to show him you care without burning out your savings so give him something that shows you know him well, understand his hobbies, and value his style.  Giving a gift related to his interests in everyday life will express a deeper, more genuine connection. A really thoughtful gift will be one that is homemade and from the heart expressing a sincere message, and won’t cost you a bundle!

For Her: Shopping for your girlfriends can be just as easy as shopping for yourself, but just to play it safe, stick to accessories. Necklaces and scarves are the best accessories to give as gifts because one size fits all!  At MyLabel right now you can take 25% off of all French Connection items, the perfect brand to buy all types of fun, funky, or fancy accessories (code: FCMYLABEL25). This offer ends on September 8, so get to pre-holiday gift shopping ASAP!

Your Closet’s Best Kept Secret: A closet can easily be a space disaster, but it can just as easily be fixed of its clutter. The secret to upgrading your closet is to use the back of your closet door to its fullest capacity. You can use the back of that door to store shoes, belts, and accessories by using hooks and over-the-door storage units. And the best part all of these gadgets, is that they stay hidden behind the door!

Dining Roomy: When you have no room for a big dining room table or magnificent chairs, there is a cozy, convenient, and affordable alternative. You can purchase a dining table, but instead of chairs, use stools that fit under the table to save room when you’re not eating. This unconventional table and chair space-saving duo and other unique home furniture items are available at Debenhams right now, and for a limited time you can receive free shipping on all orders over £30.

Floating Space: Another space saving tip that can be used in basically any room is to hang floating shelves instead of using standing shelves. Old bookcases and shelves that stand on the floor  minimize the amount of floor space you have to walk on. But if your shelves are away from your feet and mounted on the wall, the room will look twice as spacious!
