With the expensive summer months over, many people will be looking forward to a frugal autumn ahead.

However, as the nights become darker and colder, eating out and purchasing occasional treats often needed to lift our spirits.

Research has revealed that Britain is a nation of proud bargain hunters, with almost four in ten people admitting to searching for discount vouchers before going out.

The research, by Nationwide, also revealed that over half (57 per cent) of people look for vouchers for money off meals out, followed by 40 per cent looking for discounts on clothing.

A huge 83 per cent of people admitted that vouchers influence where they shop.

Almost half of those asked said they would go out more if they knew there was money off discounts to be had on both luxury and everyday items.

With this in mind, Nationwide has launched a new Simply Rewards App, exclusive to its Visa Debit and Credit Card customers.

Offering more value for money options, the app offers discounts at a number of retailers, restaurants and travel companies while on the go.

Showing once again that they are ‘On Your Side’, this new scheme has been designed to further reward loyal customers, allowing them to search for all the best deals in their current area.

There’s no waiting time, meaning an added opportunity to take advantage of all the amazing offers available. 

To help you keep all your finances in order and find the latest offers Nationwide is offering you the chance to win an LG G Pad 7.0 inch Android tablet in white.
