This cash-saving online shopping tool scans your basket to find discount codes for you

With Black Friday deals everywhere you look, thrifty shoppers are on the hunt for the best offers but what if we told you there's a website that does that for you?

Pouch is the ultimate shopping hack if you're cash-strapped and pushed for time this festive season - thanks to Christmas nights out and too much mulled wine.

Launched in 2016, the free browser extension automatically sources the best discount codes for you and works on over 3,000 retail sites, including Amazon, Currys and ASOS.

The trio behind the tech start-up - Jonny Plein, Ben Corrigan and Vikram Simha - appeared on the BBC's Dragons' Den in 2017 and received offers from all five Dragons.

How does it work?

Pouch is completely free and the best way to use it is by downloading the browser extension tool via the website here.

The browser extension tool will only work in Chrome and Firefox, however you can still access the deals on other browsers through Pouch's website directly.

Once you've downloaded the tool, you can simply head to the checkout where Pouch will automatically trawl the Internet for the best coupons to apply to your shopping haul.
