Home and Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many things you can do to save money and the environment in the home. One is to upgrade your appliances.

Here are some stores with regular discounts that can help you save on your appliances:<\/p>\n

Switching to an organic lifestyle can be a healthy option and need not be as expensive as you would have though. Here is the pick of the best organic health and beauty stores that won’t make a huge dent in your budget.<\/p>\n

Green People<\/a> – Green People are a Love My Vouchers favourite. They offer natural, home made skin care products, free from harsh chemicals. Not only are their product ingredients ethically sourced, but they are also not tested on animals, and they donate 10% of their net profit to green or environmentally friendly charitable causes. They offer regular voucher codes and special offers<\/a> on their products, plus you can also accumulate ‘green points’ which you can spend on their products.<\/p>\n

Fashion\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fashion-Conscience.com<\/a> – This fashion store source their clothing and accessories in line with a set of high ethical standards. They then clearly label their products with symbols that illustrate the values that have been met in the production of that product, whether fair trade, sustainable, carbon offset, organic, recycled or supporting wildlife and communities. This allows you to stay in style, but not to compromise your own values in doing so. They also offer regular discount codes and savings, so these designer items can be yours at a fraction of the retail price.<\/p>\n
