The 3 new voucher codes are valid for £10, £20 and £40 discounts if you spend over a certain amount of money online.

The Dixons sale includes a Pre-sale price promise for all purchases. If you buy a product now from Dixons and the price you pay in greater including the delivery charge than in their sale they will guarantee to refund the difference. So you can pay the sale price even if you shop before the sale begins.

This offer is valid from 198th December to the start of the sale. But take note you must claim the difference before the 31st December 2007. All details of how to claim the difference can be found on the Dixons website.

We will add to this list of winter sales as and when we are given the dates and information. We are expecting to be given details of some January sales voucher codes that will be available in conjunction with some of the discounts being made available.

You should be able to find a good bargain, it is widely expected that because shops have had a slowdown in sales towards the end of 2007, that they will start to discount quite heavily in 2008, so there should be same good sales and some big discounts available.

Gas Prices Set to Rise in 2008

Gas prices have started to rise again this year and the trend looks set to continue through 2008.

NPower is the latest utility company to increase the price of gas and electricity following British Gas who have increased the price of gas by up to 15% for some of their tariffs.

Npower's prices will rise by 17% for gas and 13% for electricity on it's energy tracker price plan, the rises will come into effect from 1st January 2008.

It is likely that these prices will continue to rise throughout next year. One way to try and cut the cost of these utility bills is to compare your current tariffs with other suppliers to see if you are with the cheapest company and on the best tariff for your consumption.

They will even help you to apply for the new supplier and change your accounts over from your old one, thus making it quicker and easier to change.

These price comparison companies will provide impartial information about each energy supplier and make it easy to compare the different tariffs to see which company provides the cheapest energy.

The best utility price comparison websites are accredited by EnergyWatch which ensures that they provide accurate details and information.

Energy price comparison websites include, uSwitch, Simply Switch and Energy helpline

Ofcom enquiry into Sky's Digital TV Dominance.

Ofcom, the communications watchdog is to examine Sky's dominance of digital TV in the UK to see if Sky have “the incentive to make their premium content, such as sports and movies, available to other retailers and other platform operators”.

This could be a good move for other digital TV operators such as Setanta and Virgin, and might mean that Sky will have to offer their channels to the other TV companies for less than they currently charge. It might also mean that other digital TV companies will find it easier to start up.

Ofcom will investigate further, especially Sky's policy of selling Sports and Movies to subscribers who take the basic channel options. They will finally decide at the end of next year when their investigation ends and they might refer it to the competition commission.

So it will be a while yet before we will know if it will result in lower prices or more choice. In the meantime we will continue to list details of special offers and discounts for Setanta, Sky and Virgin Media

Take the Right Road This New Year

You can guide yourself through the New Year with a discounted Sat Nav from Dixons.

Dixons have released about 20 different voucher codes for a variety of in-car Sat Nav products including One, Navman and Gamin. They are all quite small amounts off the price, but they could make all the difference.

For instance one voucher code will qualify you for £11.97 off the Navman s90i. Which has a 4.3" screen, built in bluetooth and maps of Great Britain and Western Europe.

If you have not already bought one for Christmas they make good presents to fit in any car, and the codes are valid into the New Year until the end of January. Dixons voucher codes.
