BANK HOLIDAY BARGAINS: With the May bank holiday weekends on the horizon, stand by for a deluge of flash sales.

Most big retailers have yet to announce offers, but garden deals are a perennial favourite at this time of year.

Other online stores tag their sales to bank holidays, too.

JOIN THE LIST: The best way to get first dibs on sales is to sign up to retailers’ mailing lists.

It’s also how to get wind of Vouchercodes’ Wednesday Windfall — a big offer from 11am until all vouchers have been snapped up.

Past deals have included a £10 Amazon voucher for spending £20 at Dunelm.
