The best things in life come for free, or at least significantly discounted. There's no finer pleasure than chancing across a cut-price pair of Jimmy Choos or picking up a retro cabinet for a fraction of its high street price, after all.

And happily for us, the web is a great place to indulge our inner Belinda Bargain-Hunters. The online universe is positively overflowing with discount, voucher, auction and price comparison sites that lay bare the very best deals out there right now, from travel to restaurants and beyond.

But you have to be savvy and really know where to look to snap up the best bargains.

With the arrival of BookBub, the daily deal site for free e-books, in the UK, we take a look at other emerging money-saving websites. From Bubblebee Auctions, the site that sells off unwanted items collected by Britain's police forces, to designer rental hub Girl Meets Dress, these are the slightly off-radar destinations that promise to save you money and share some fun along the way.

Discount flights, champagne afternoon tea deals, free furniture and luxury fashion flash sales - you name it, these websites have it covered.

So throw your credit card to the wind and come indulge in some purse-friendly retail therapy...
