Frugal Friday

This week's highlights include 50% off fashion, the complete Dad's Army collection for £40, half price books, and dinner for four for £15....

The sun is shining, the weather's becoming warmer, the days are getting longer - and there's plenty to smile about, because here's this week's round up of discounts and deals!

Films and box sets

There are still some great deals on TV box sets this week. Here's my pick of the best (with the most heavily discounted listed first):

Fashion and homewares

The mid season sales have begun and that means it's time to step out onto the high street and start some serious shopping! Just take a look at these offers:

• Adams: 50% off selected clothing for kids.
• Burtons: 50% off selected items.
• Coast: 25% off everything if you enter the code grazia09 at the checkout by 25 March.

If you're planning to do a spot of spring cleaning this weekend and need to buy some fancy new gadgets for your home, you might be tempted by these fantastic deals:

• Amazon has up to 50% off selected kitchen and home appliances. This Prestige Deco Two Slice Toaster is now just £20.05, saving you £19.94.
• BHS also has up to 60% off homewares. This Tefal Expertcook 5 piece cookware set is now half price at just £75.
• And if you're planning to get out in the garden, there's 15% off the utterly gorgeous outdoor collection at Graham & Green. Simply enter the code S915 at the checkout before 31 March. I just love these groovy Striped Canvas Parasols! You can also get free standard delivery at Graham & Green if you spend over £50 and quote X8MUM by 22 March.

Eating out

Restaurants are still going utterly crazy with offers. So if you fancy treating yourself (or your mum) to a delicious meal over the weekend, it doesn't have to break the bank. Just bear in mind most of them exclude Mother's Day:

Alternatively, if you'd prefer to stay in but still fancy doing something nice for Mum on Sunday, you can pick up an entire roast dinner from M&S for just £15. For this fantastic price you can choose a main, side dish, dessert and bottle of wine for four people. You can view the entire menu here. This offer runs until 22 March.

Last minute Mother's Day gifts

If you've left buying a Mother's Day present to the last minute, don't despair because there are some brilliant deals around this weekend. In fact, you'll be spoilt for choice!

• Waterstones is offering a range of books at half price. Fans of Marian Keyes will just love her latest novel This Charming Man at the fabulous price of £3.99 (RRP £7.99). Alternatively, Cathy Kelly's Once in a Lifetime is now just £7.49 (RRP £14.99).
• Play.com is offering up to half price on chick lit, such as Jodi Picoult's Change of Heart which is now £3.99 (RRP £7.99).
• If you'd prefer to treat Mum to some elegant beauty products, you can get 15% off first orders at Elemis by using the exclusive code FOOL15 at the checkout.
• Alternatively, Boots is offering a range of fabulous deals, including up to half price on selected fragrances and a free Mother's Day gift when you spend £10 or more on selected Sanctuary products.
• Finally, if you'd prefer to stick with a more traditional bunch of flowers, there's 15% off flowers and gifts at Fleurop.co.uk when you use the code SPAT2YOU before 31 March.

Freebie of the week

I'm cheating a bit this week as I've picked out two fabulous freebies instead of one! This Sunday (22 March) Mums can go free at Legoland (with a full paying child) if you print out this voucher. (This offer also includes female guardians and grandmothers.)

Fishers Farm Park is also offering free entry for mums on Sunday (including grandmothers and great grandmothers). And you'll also get a free cup of tea or tipple! What's more, you can grab a special roast in the Saddlerooms Restaurant for just £6.95.

Have a great weekend and a lovely Mother's Day!

Don't forget: although all prices and discounts were correct on the day this email was sent out, offers this good are subject to change and often sell out quickly.
