Getting away from it all could be a bit cheaper with these P&O Ferries voucher codes. The code, as ever you tap it in at checkout, allows you up to 50 per cent off ferry crossings, mainly from Britain to what we used to quaintly refer to as ‘the Continent’. But how does the discounted rate stack up against alternatives such as flying or taking Eurotunnel?

Pretty impressively we’d have to say, though unpicking the complex web of online fares, direct fares, those fares that look fantastic on the Ryanair and Easyjet websites but don’t actually fit with your travel dates, plus the inevitable bump that comes from taxes and connections, makes it hard to give like-for-like comparisons. As always, I’d advise you do a direct comparison, factoring in ALL costs of doing it each way … plus your P&O Ferries voucher codes of course.

A quick glimpse at the P&O Ferries website throws up a Dover-Calais ‘web fare from £32′ which is any duration for a car plus up to nine people, including all taxes and surchages AND a free Disney ticket. There is Hull-Rotterdam for £152 and Portsmouth-Bilbao from £265 (both each way). The big advantage with the latter is you don’t have ongoing drives with petrol and road tolls. Use your P&O Ferries voucher codes in tandem with offers such as these and you’re looking at serious savings we reckon.

Britain’s big supermarkets constantly quibble among themselves as to who is the cheapest, but our sense is that Asda and Morrisons pretty consistently beat Sainsbury and Tesco on price (I wait with interest for the corrective email from their respective press offices!). Adding a little extra savour is this Asda voucher code for free delivery on online orders over £75.

The deal expires on 19 October 2008. To get your free delivery, type the code into the ‘voucher redeem’ area and the discount will be applied upon completing your order from www.asda.co.uk. It’s worth paying a visit to the site anyway, as there are some very good deals online at Asda just now – check out the ‘daily deals’ area of the site for some cracking offers – and then input your Asda voucher code for free delivery.

As well as groceries, you’ll find a bewildering range of just about everything at Asda – CDs, DVDs, Games, Contact Lenses, Flowers, Gifts and Photo – the list goes on and on. In fact, use your Asda voucher code for free delivery wisely and you need never leave the house to go shopping again!

Sign up for Burtons online newsletter and you receive a voucher code that gives you 10% off your next online purchase. Note that some of these retailers do still charge you delivery, so check that the postage you’re paying isn’t greater than your saving. On the other hand, think of the money, time and frustration you’ll save by not queueing up in the shops. As ever, I’d advise you to set up a free email account specifically for deals such as these. Then, all the marketing bumph they’ll send you will go there rather than clogging your main email inbox.
