Free eye test

Dollond & Aitchison is offering a free eye test (these are free in Scotland anyway), usually priced at £27.50, at any of its 380 branches until 3 Feb. It's available to all who haven't had a test at D&A within the past two years.

How to get it

To claim the free test, go to D&A's website's special offers, fill in the short form and a voucher will be emailed to you. You'll need to print this out.

Then give Dollond & Aitchison a call on 0800 052 8000 to arrange an examination before 3 Feb. It's worth mentioning you have this voucher when booking the appointment, plus remember you MUST take it with you.

You don't have to buy glasses from D&A

D&A's offering this freebie as it hopes you'll buy specs or lenses from it if you need them, but this isn't a prerequisite. Before parting with your cash, read both my Glasses Buying and Contact Lens cost cutting articles to help slash the amount you pay.

Dollond & Aitchison's Ts & Cs

1. Valid until 3 Feb 2008.
2. Special offer available at any Branch of D&A on presentation of this voucher.
3. This voucher cannot be used with an NHS eye test or any other eye test offer.
4. Offer only available to customers who have not had an eye test at Dollond & Aitchison in the last 2 years.
5. This reduction is not dependent on the purchase of a complete pair of glasses.
6. Only one voucher per visit, which must be surrendered at time of examination.
7. Photocopies will not be accepted.
 
Amazon Price Promise

Amazon has a hidden price promise that if you buy something and it drops in price within 30 days you can get the difference back. That means if you did any Christmas shopping there; you should check if the price has dropped in the sales, and if it has - claim the money back.

How do you get it back?

Amazon won't do this automatically, you'll need to go back and check the prices of the goods you've bought by logging into your account.

Simply visit your account and look at each invoice from the last thirty days and click on each item to view it's current price. Compare this to the price you paid and if there's a difference, copy down the order number and go to the 'Return and Refunds Contact Form' page to report it.

Step by step instructions
Log into your Amazon account
Click on 'view orders placed in the last 6 months'
Copy the Amazon.co.uk order number:
Click on the item to see if the price has dropped
Click on 'Help' followed by Contact Us, 'Customer Service'
Once you've found the right order click on Contact Amazon, copy in the order reference number and explain you'd like a refund as the price has dropped.

Use amazon rather than high steet stores,save a fortune. My partner bought our lad a oo7 Bond movie from HMV paid £10. I went on to amazon and bought 007Bond DVD (DR NO) new for £1.60 plus p&p = £2.30.

She also piad £12.99 for a mika cd, which you can get delivered to your door for £8 on Tecsos, jersey, or direct from America on Amazon for £6 plue p&p.

I know ladies love to shop, and its a more exciting experience shopping in Newcastle rather than sitting @ hoe on lappy. :p

I've done a few of these £1 Dennis publishing offers before with EVO etc and they work fine. Just remember to set in your phone calender / diary when you get the 1st magazine to fire off a cancellation email for further issues after your third one for the £1. Works fine.
 
Just received my cleaning box!

I'll be trying it out at the weekend... the paint shampoo , conserve and sealant anyway.
