Welcome to the Blogs

This Saturday just gone saw the Telegraph release the second Bargain Britain supplement. Produced in association with our very own favourite bargain hunter and ProblemSolved founder, Alison Cork, it was absolutely jammed packed with offers and discounts letting readers in on how to get the best that money can buy for the home and garden, for not much money at all.

And as promised, if you missed this 16 page gem of information and deals, don’t worry. On the Telegraph website you can now peruse at your leisure the same amazing deals and offers which featured in the supplement.

If you fancy getting yourself in the spirit for you know what, check out Homes and Bargains new competition where you could win one of 8 pairs of tickets to this year’s Country Living Christmas Fair. Taking place from 14-18th November at the Business Design Centre in London, there will be exclusive gifts, decorations, scrummy food and much more on show, plus loads of special deals to take advantage of on the day.

Getting on the bottom rung of the property ladder is a dream come true for the majority of us non-home owners, though jumping in feet first with a 100% mortgage should not be taken lightly. Too much research into this matter is never a bad thing, so if you are considering this route, take a look at the recent 100% Mortgage Rise article on Homes and Bargains.
