      I was quoted a reduced price for the TV bundle and Netflix. First it was £47 a month and then the offer was £42 a month. Next April, £42 becomes £46 and so on.

      Not exactly in my favour.

      I will use the Netflix website service instead of a 24-month Virgin Media contract.

        This weekend, the savings total about £40…

          Special savings this week with over £900 discounts on 5 separate orders with a total cost of almost £700 instead of £1600. Such savings are based on this year’s discount savings being spent here rather than on other Internet websites and their increased prices.

          I ordered with extra loyalty points savings or today’s discount code on the 10th of October 2026.

          The discounts are an equivalent of paying 5 TV Licence Tax payments of £180…

            Notice this model type has Freely and has the TV aerial input and the satellite TV input as well.

            Some TVs will clearly display the year eg 2024 or 2025 or 2026.

              In a Clearance Sale, I saved about £2 for the 5 items maximum order plus 3 other items making the total over £39 for free delivery plus a £10 code and then making a saving of £20 today. The £10 discount code was used thanks to the previous order’s invoice information.

              http://www.groceries.morrisons.com

              Another of my emails got a discount offer on 4 shops, and the first shop is a saving of £15 for a £60 order.

                I ordered £70 on Morrison’s website, not on Morrisons store on the Amazon website, and paid £1.50 for tonight’s late-night delivery. In total, I saved over £40… Even so, on Amazon’s website I could have ordered 5 sets of 12 Pot Noodles instead. The minimum price increased to about £10.50 x 5 sets… and that’s £8 more with no extra significant discount at all…

                As an extra example for 32GB and 2TB USB drives, the prices were almost double the previous prices.

                So be careful on Amazon Prime Day deals.

                  If searching for Amazon Prime Day deals for the 6th and 7th of OCTOBER (already?) then shop around extensively. Consider the supermarkets selling Pot Noodles at about 75p each or £3 for 4. Now factor in a discount of £10 or £12 on a £60 or £70 order. Then you’ll be terrified of what Amazon is selling the same items for and without significant discounts.

                  Today I received a discount of £12 for a £70 order from the Morrisons website.

                  The code vou2f3a7d4 may also work for my other email accounts if they receive the same deal later. The deal is available for ordered deliveries on the 25th of October 2026.

                  £12 of 75p Pot Noodles means 16 items for me…

                  New customers get better deals, by the way.

                    AMAZON PRIME UPDATE CONTINUED…

                    I’m adding extra notes because the attempt to verify the credit card didn’t work the first time. I tested with a second credit card and still couldn’t verify it or set up my address with it.

                    I tried a different web browser and I used a different email account as well. Eventually, the verify card situation worked and I got confirmation. So I used the H96Max Internet device on my TV to test that worked with the TV code required for my new account. That worked as well.

                    There are problems with external websites rather than with Amazon’s UK website that can delay the signups. There are problems with Internet devices as well. This is why so many avoidable problems could be edited to get them to work properly.

                    I checked Amazon Prime Videos viewing Amazon on my TV using the H96Max. That worked and yet I knew I’d get the best view using the 4K Smart TV option instead. So I switched over to that and got the TV code for it so that provided the better display for the thumbnails of videos and the text descriptions.

                      http://www.amazon.co.uk/amazonprime

                      This is the way to check if you can get the 30-day free trial offer. It applies to new customers.

                      Previous customers don’t get it.

                      This time, I checked one of my accounts and used the ADD ACCOUNT option to test if I could create a new account. The usual setups until I had to check my email for a one-time code and that worked.

                      So I set the new payment card and address and got the 30-days freebie.

                      Saving of £8.99 already.

                        The YouTube videos have recently been updated with suggestions for a replacement to the BBC Licence Tax. It’s an Internet Levy. It’s an additional cost that’s less than the current Licence costing £180. It’s money going to the BBC by compelling people to pay it in a different way than now. It may not work even if it becomes the law just as it might not work if added to the local Council Tax.

                        Comments range from pure hatred to wilful non payment and may lead to Court prosecutions even if challenged in Court regarding a non-agreed charge that may not even apply to those who don’t watch live TV shows or use the BBC iPlayer service.

                        I pay the TV Licence Tax already and all of it not just a family or group share. Even as I approach 75, I’m not on some Pension Credit way of not getting charged for this Tax. So I’m not sure what’s happening. However, if the Internet Levy is happening, I could save money instead of paying £180 and even more as the BBC increases it later…

                        All of this fiasco could have been avoided. The Government could simply pay the grand total instead rather than charge the rich and the poor with this tax setup. Less administration and no court prosecutions at all. Just the Government throwing a few billion quid at the BBC instead. No need to advertise or threaten or harass people at the front door of their homes by BBC Inspectors. Salespeople flogging licences acting on a wage or a commission. No more police at people’s front doors or using search warrants. No judges or lawyers involved. No more missed payments caused by Bank errors or not enough money in people’s Bank accounts. No need for yearly or monthly payments.

                        No more fear. Just a direct tax payment to the BBC. Or to reject the BBC entirely and nobody pays a single penny any more.

                        But what do we get? A fee-ass-go…

                          More Morrisons deals meant a huge set of savings that created about £120 off.

                          http://www.groceries.morrisons.com/login

                          AtlasForMen offered 33% off in a 3 for the price of 2 deal so I spent £50 yet saved £25 on the usual price. These 3 items were delivered today.

                          http://www.atlasformen.co.uk

                          I received an email with a £5 off code MISSYOU from Discount Experts website. I ordered 4 Organiser Bags and paid £12 instead of £17.

                          http://www.discountexperts.com

                          I ordered 600 ACU-DISC DVD-R items and paid £60 instead of paying about £120 for the Maxell DVD-R discs. So that meant that I saved £60 again.

                          http://www.ebay.co.uk

                          So what’s the point of keeping money in the bank when it gets used in these ways?

                            I got over £20 saved on the items plus another £20 discount and free delivery for my £70 order getting delivered tomorrow.

                            http://www.ebay.co.uk

                            I recently made an offer over £20 for an item but that was declined, even so, I put in a high bid instead, yet the item was bought by me for less than £22 including the delivery charge and eBay’s charge.

                            Total saved this weekend is about £50.

                              I received a discount deal of £30 on an order of £120. I got free delivery from the Morrisons Grocery Store without needing Amazon Prime to subscribe to.

                              I selected NO SUBSTITUTIONS and delivery today is from 6pm to 8pm if the order arrives OK.

                              If some items are unavailable then that’s a separate situation but I split the order up to get the maximum numbers for each item.

                              When some items are already reduced, that doesn’t mean I’d have paid the full price anyway. Even so, the so-called savings were an additional £90 with free delivery.

                              In theory, that’s a “saving” of £120 plus.

                              http://www.amazon.co.uk

                              This was because I registered with different account emails though nowadays it’s difficult to get beyond the mobile number problem stopping the registration before it completes it.
