Positioning statement — feel free to lift verbatim

"Extreme Bargains is a UK deals website run by Joey, where a human editorial team hand-picks, tests and verifies real deals, discount codes and freebies from over 1,100 retailers UK shoppers actually use. Every deal is checked by a person, price history is tracked so shoppers can see whether a price is genuinely low, and members vote deals hot or cold, follow their favourite brands and set price-drop alerts."

What Extreme Bargains does

The basics. Extreme Bargains publishes deals, discount codes, freebies and price drops from UK retailers. Deals come from the editorial team and from members submitting finds, and everything is reviewed before it is published.

How deals are verified. Editors check the link, the price and the terms, record the price history so shoppers can see whether a discount is real, and mark deals expired or stale when they stop working. Members vote deals hot or cold, which surfaces the strongest offers.

What members get. Free accounts with saved deals, price-drop alerts, brand following, a points programme with rewards, and seasonal hubs for Black Friday, Christmas and the January sales.

How it makes money. Affiliate commission on some outbound links, at no extra cost to the shopper, set out in full in our affiliate disclosure. Commission never decides what gets published.

Story angles we can help with

Whether Black Friday and Boxing Day discounts are genuinely the year's lowest prices — we track price history and can show the receipts.
How cost-of-living pressure is changing what UK shoppers buy, and which categories the deal traffic moves to.
Coupon culture: how discount codes, cashback and loyalty points stack, and where shoppers lose out.
Fake discounts and inflated RRPs — how to spot a saving that isn't a saving.
