Welcome to this week’s edition of Frugal Friday. Let’s kick things off with the biggest fashion and homewares bargains…

Frugal fashion and homewares                                                              

Save 20% on the new collection at French Connection with code STYLIST20 or 15% at Dorothy Perkins with DPOFFER15, but get in now as they both expire today.

Head to Gap for 30% off denim until 27th February and buy coloured jeans for just £16 at Matalan.

It’s BOGOF on jewellery at New Look and many items are only £1.99 so it’s a good time to stock up on bangles and earrings.   

There’s a George sale on at Asda now in store and online, saving you up to 50% and you can also grab up to half-price childrenswear (and 20% off toys and games) at Debenhams.

At Wallis ALL macs are being sold for £40 and you can save 20% on various ranges including petite and selected shoes. If it’s a cheap coat you’re after do have a look in the sale at Miss Selfridge – there aren’t many to choose from but they have been heavily reduced. I love this orange duffel coat, reduced from £57 to £30, and this red braid trim coat, reduced from £80 to £30.

At Asos you can save an extra 10% on outlet items until 8am Sunday with code OUTLET10 and browse the bargains in the sale at Motel Rocks with up to 75% off items.

If you’re on the hunt for knitwear you can save 25% on full price items at Laura Ashley but remember you can save on brands at TK Maxx – this Tommy Hilfiger striped jumper has £50 off at £39.99 and this Nicole Farhi scoop neck jumper has £120 off at £29.99.

Marks & Spencer is still offering £5 off when you spend £30 on kidswear and selected lingerie (enter code BRAFIT12).
