Via MSE Blagged code

If you've been eye-ing up Ted Baker prescription specs or sunnies, you can get a pair for £37 delivered (normally £135), with the MSE Blagged code MSE37TB via our link at SpeckyFourEyes*. The code's valid until 11.59pm on Sunday 12 April.

The code is only valid on selected Ted Baker items found via our link, and you'll need to enter it in the vouchers box on the 'Shopping cart - summary' page once you've chosen your frames and lenses.

Need-to-knows for getting the cheapest price

  • To get them cheapest, pick 'continue with free lenses' when asked to choose your lens package (stage five of the checkout process), as thinner or scratch-resistant lenses will cost £15-£150 extra. To avoid other extras and keep costs down, select 'skip step & continue' until you reach the checkout.

  • You can either enter your prescription during the checkout process, or opt to send it later. Some frames aren't suitable for high prescriptions, so keep an eye out when choosing. Do note that only standard lenses are included in the price – you'll pay extra for bifocal or thin lenses.

  • Select 'Royal Mail Standard' delivery – our code will make this option free (normally £6.99). Delivery takes 7-20 working days.

You can use the code more than once but can only use one code per item, per transaction – so you'll need to make multiple transactions if you want more than one.

SpeckyFourEyes says there are good stock levels available, but all frames are subject to availability, so they could still sell out fast if demand is high.

If you need to contact SpeckyFourEyes about your order, you can do so via this special contact page.

MSE Georgia-May says:

It's tricky to compare prices for these exact frames, as many of them are end-of-line and aren't sold elsewhere – but I reckon £37 all-in for a pair of branded prescription specs or sunglasses is pretty decent. They're normally £135 at SpeckyFourEyes, and when I checked on Friday 20 March, I found some for up to £190 at Boots.

SpeckyFourEyes may not always be cheapest, so do your own price comparison before buying. See our Cheap Glasses page for other deals on specs.

7,000 available

MSE Blagged. Includes a candle, diffuser, wax melts & two room sprays

Beauty and grooming brand Grüum* also sells home fragrance items and it's put together this £17 bundle which includes a candle, diffuser, wax melts, and two room sprays. This price includes delivery, which usually takes three to five working days.

There are 7,000 bundles available, and this offer ends once all have been claimed (it's limited to two bundles per customer).

Grüum doesn't usually sell these products as a set, but it would cost £50 if you were to buy each item separately. The set contains:

  • Wax melts (six-pack) in Bergamot & Cedar – normally £8

  • Home fragrance room spray in Midnight Aurora (50ml) – normally £9

  • Home fragrance room spray in Citrus Eclipse (50ml) – normally £9

  • Reed diffuser set in Plum Nebula (30ml) – normally £9

  • Soy wax candle (170g). Choice of four scents including Spicy Naranja, Land Of Nod, Sea of Tranquillity or Garden of Eden – normally £15

Grüum often displays other items during the checkout process to tempt you, but just select 'no thanks' and 'skip' if you don't want any extra items or bundles.

If you're considering this as a gift for Mother's Day, Grüum says the cut off for delivery is 11.59pm on Wednesday 11 March.

What is Grüum? It's an online beauty and grooming business, and we've featured many deals from it over the last few years. When we checked on Friday 6 March, Grüum had a 4.5 out of 5 Trustpilot score based on 6,400+ reviews.

What if I have questions about my order? You can contact customer service by searching for your issue at Grüum's Help page.

The Housemaid, Heated Rivalry & more. Listen & read on or offline via the BookBeat app

BookBeat is a digital subscription service with over one million audiobooks and e-books, and if you're new to it, you can go via our special BookBeat link* by 11.59pm on Tuesday 14 April to try it out for free.

You can listen to/read up to 40 hours over the 90 days – BookBeat used to occasionally do 100 free days, but now the longest trial it can offer is 90 days.

Important: You'll need to enter payment details when signing up, and after your free 90 days are done, you'll automatically be enrolled into a paid subscription, unless you cancel. You'll get 10% off for the first 90 days of your paid subscription, and after that you'll be charged full-price. A subscription currently costs £7.99, £12.99, or £19.99 a month depending on which plan you choose (you'll need to pick one when signing up).

If you don't want to continue after the free trial... you can cancel via the BookBeat app or website – BookBeat says you can do this up until 11.59pm on the final day of your trial (see your first billing date in the 'Account' section of the app), though to be safe, it's best to do this at least a couple of days before. Note though, when you cancel, you lose access immediately so don't do it too early – diarise to do it towards the end of your trial, or when you've used up your 40 hours.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
