Use this Pizza Hut promotional code to get 50% off your order when you spend £50 or more. Ah yes, you know it is coming up to school holidays when you see me post a Pizza Hut voucher. Well, it is always nice to have a treat, and if you've got a young teenager and a couple of his friends over, then this pretty much equates to three pizzas.

It worked on three pizzas with stuffed crusts. It took a total of £54.87 down to £27.51.

To use this coupon code, buy your pizzas. On the final page, headed ‘Here You Go’, before you get to checkout, enter it in the voucher codes box. If you want to collect your pizza use this code instead: VCP7W4FRC. There's also a code that claims to make any pizza £9.99 when ordered with a side. I tried it out on a piri piri stuffed crust meat supreme and a colesaw, but it only took £6 off the price (the pizza cost just over £18). I'm not sure why but if you want to try this code out anyway it is VCPDEL9BL for delivery and VCP7999RT for collection.

The discount will appear immediately on the page. If it doesn't work check that you have ordered a side as well - click on the Sides tab at the top of the page to do this.

Use your Pizza Hut promotional code to get 50% off orders of £35 or more. I like that about the 50% codes at Pizza Hut. You can spend £50 and only pay £25, for example. Great to find another one of these codes come out for the summer holidays too. I wish they'd put expiry dates on them though. But they do come along regular enough. It would seem unlikely that anyone ever needs to pay the full price (other than the fact that not everyone checks for coupon codes. Unbelievable, but true).

It worked for me on two pizzas with the new Piri Piri stuffed crust. It doesn't work on Deals though. Hoever, it is possible that the offer varies amongst restaurants.

Use these Pizza Hut coupon codes to get 25% off your order when you spend £20 or more, or £10 off when you spend £25 or more. These codes are valid over most of the summer holidays, so definitely worth bookmarking this one!

If you spend £25 or more then the £10 off code is definitely the one to use. Otherwise go for the 25% discount.

I tested it out on a large pan BBQ steak and a large Italian Hawaiian. This came to £28.98, and the code reduced that down to £18.98.

If you are spending more than £35 pounds don't use either of these! Try this code instead, which we published here, to get 50% off your order. I don't actually know when this code expires but it was still active today.

It struck me a week ago, when I was at a small fair browsing through some lovely stationary. On display were several beautiful organiser boxes. You can use these to store birthday cards for example, or recipes. There was also a generic, blank one that you could adapt to your own needs. You can see what I mean here.

And suddenly I thought, why don't I have some sort of planner or organiser for bargains? It has been more than a year since I first started writing for PlayPennies, and during that time I've come to realise that so many sales, bargains, and voucher codes are cyclical.

But, how easy it is to remember dates? Or which companies are likely to have voucher codes out there? And that's when it occured to me that, just like you do with your budget plan, you could also have a bargain plan.

It is a shame though that we're not a bit more like America over here in the UK. In the US there are some key dates every year when they have massive sales. There's something they call Black Friday - and I've no idea why or what it means. But apparently the sales are unbelievable and it happens every year just after Thanksgiving.

The photo above comes from a blog with an extensive write up of this sale. But, the main reason I used this photo is because of the chap pushing two little boys just on the side. Look closely. The boys are in what appears to be a sort of buggy or shop trolley in the shape of a double decker lorry or bus!

Catalogues

First, the most obvious. Catalogues. Which companies are you most likely to order from? For me that would be Argos. They tend to renew their catalogue twice a year, and when they do there's a whole lot of stuff that goes on sale or into the clearance. January and June are the two main ones. Which means that this month, May, is a good time to take a look at their sale items, and also check out their clearance outlet on eBay.

Store Sales

We all know about the famous New Years Harrods sale. But what about the other department stores? Make a note in your calendar, or ask while you're in the store. Debenhams Blue Cross sale, where you can get up to 70% off, started at the beginning of April this year for example.

Holiday companies are also big on having annual sales, although these days you can generally find a bargain all year round using sites like Lastminute.com. Thomson's has its own Blue Cross sale in and around February/March each year, for example.

Ikea does a quite good summer sale. This is usually around July. I have friends who had their eye on a dining table at Ikea, however at £400 it was out of their price range. By keeping a close eye on the sale, and having nerves of steel, they managed to pick it up for £50 right at the end of the sale.

These days it does seem like the whole year is just one long sale. However, don't be fooled. The really amazing bargains are still waiting, ready for you to pounce on them in the winter sales. If you want to get them though you do have to do a little preparation.

You know you can ask the store when their sale will be starting. Make a date in your diary. If you get a nice sales assistant, or you're well known in the store, you may be able to get all sorts of information out of them. Like whether or not a dress you're going to buy will be in the sale.

Voucher Codes

Keep a note of the stores that regularly have voucher codes available. For example, just as one 20% discount at the Early Learning Centre is ending, another one will pop up. So, if you're buying something from there, and there isn't a code, it might pay to wait a week or two.

Dorothy Perkins also regularly has a 25% off code that's worth waiting for. Next is a little more variable with its discounts, but at least once a quarter (that's every three months) it will have a Free Delivery code available. If you keep a note of that on your calendar, you'll know whether it is worth waiting a bit longer (oooh look, it was nearly three months since the last one) or not (oh no, the most recent Next free delivery code expired just last week).

Eating Out or In

Even if you don't have school age children, keep a note of the general times for school holidays in your calendar. Big eatery chains and pizza restaurants will time deals and special offers for these dates.

It is rare, for example, that there's not a Pizza Hut and/or Dominos voucher code that will get you a free pizza, or 50% off your order, around the school holidays. Especially in the summer.

We generally have these on our site here at PlayPennies, so always make sure you look. Also, even if a chain doesn't have a restaurant near where you live, it could come in handy when you go on holiday.

So Tell Me ...

What have I missed? I've tried over the last week to put together all the different regular bargain times and places, and make a note of anything I've noticed like regular voucher codes. I hope that these are of some use to you all. But is there anything that you've noticed yourself, and I've not got here? If so then do share! Thank you.

• Discount: £10, BOGOF, or 50%
• Promotional codes: VCHTENPHY, VCHDELPPU, VCHFIFTBK
• Expires: 26th June 2011

To use this coupon code, buy your pizzas, or pasta, or side orders etc. On the final page, headed ‘Here You Go’, before you get to checkout, enter the code you want to use in the voucher codes box. The discount will appear immediately on the page.

I used the £10 off code on my order of a stuffed crust steak supreme, individual penne bolognese, and garlic bread. This came to £26.72, and the code reduced that to £16.72. A fairly good deal I thought.

Which code you do use will depend on what you're buying. If you're getting two pizzas, for example, then the BOGOF deal might work out best, or if you're spending more than £25 the 50% code will be the better option.

I tested it out on two stuffed crust steak supreme pizzas. This would have come to £36.48. Which makes me feel old as I think, how on earth did pizza get so expensive? However, with the code applied this dropped down by half, to £18.24.

This makes it worth the money, in my opinion. I know I'm probably a bit stingy, and I do really like Pizza Hut pizzas, but honestly it works out to the entire week's grocery bill just to order one meal if there's four of you.

In the holidays though, it works out to be a fairly nice treat and one you don't have to cook, or clean up after.

Use this Pizza Hut coupon to get £10 off your order when you spend £25 or more. A handy little discount if you want to take a break from cooking over the weekend. I am not saying it is the ideal treat for Mother's Day but if you've young kids and/or a baby it can be about the best you can manage! It can’t be used in conjunction with any other offer, including meal deals unfortunately.

Next I tested it on two pizzas. One large pizza stuffed crust meat supreme (£17.24), and a large garlic butter stuffed crust magherita (£13.24). The total after the discount came to £20.48. The 20% is deducted from your order’s total, not from each pizza.

When you've got kids, especially young ones, sometimes the best Mother's day present you can give is a nice relaxing day in bed while you take the kids out. Then an evening meal with no washing up or mess involved. A pizza kinda fits the bill nicely!

What I used to do, when we had two hungry teenagers in the house and assorted friends, was buy the extras at the supermarket earlier in the day. Much cheaper to buy a 2litre bottle of Dr Pepper from there, than from Pizza Hut. I also used to pick up their favourite sides - coleslaw and garlic bread.

There's little as good as a take away, come Friday night. The week is behind you, the weekend ahead, and who wants to end it with washing dishes? Or worse, start Saturday that way! Not me.

For a family of three, plus one guest, I ordered two large Italian Chicken Supreme, two cheesy garlic breads, two deserts and a 7 Up.

The pizzas, garlic breads, and one of the deserts all had 50% off, and I paid £1.99 for the 7 Up and £3.99 for the Brownie Bliss. All together, the subtotal was £42.24, and the voucher code took off a lovely £18.12, brining our whole dinner to £24.12.

Annoyingly, if you were to just purchase two pizzas, you'd be 2p short of the required £30.00 to make this voucher code work, but you could just add an extra topping or something else small, and end up paying not much over £15.00.

Enjoy!

Use this Pizza Hut voucher code to get 2 for 1 pizza  delivered to your door, when you also buy a side dish. I love these Pizza Hut deals. Frankly, while I worship at the alter of their pizza oven  especially when it comes to the divine stuffed crust, I've never been thrilled with the prices. So I only ever go for Pizza Hut when I can get a deal like this one.

Click here to get 2 for 1 pizza delivered with this Pizza Hut voucher

• Discount: 2 for 1 pizza
• Applies to: Any two pizzas bought with a side
• Voucher code: DECL241FJ
• Expires: 28th November 2010

Enter the code on the Basket page, just before you go to checkout. It will apply the code, deducting the discount from the total. If nothing happens, check to see if there's a message by the voucher code box. I had forgotten to order a side, so an error message appeared here telling me to check the Ts&Cs. Once I'd added a side to my order it worked just fine.

I ordered two large stuffed crust Super Supremes, with a side of garlic bread. This would normally have cost £36.77 but with the deal it came to £19.53. And I don't have to do the washing up!

Looking for a treat this weekend? Then bookmark this Pizza Hut online discount code. Use it to get 50% off when you spend £30 or more. And lets face it, this is Pizza Hutt. One adult and at least one child to feed, and you've already spend the £30. If only their pizzas weren't so yummy!

Get 50% off with this Pizza Hut online discount code

• Discount: 50%
• Minimum spend: £30
• Promotional code: Use link above to get code
• Expires: 22nd October 2010

To use this voucher, fill in the form on the link above and submit it. You'll get sent an email with the voucher, but you'll also get given the code straightaway on the site. Do test it before you rely on it. It isn't necessarily accepted by all Pizza Hut takeaway franchises, and I had problems using it on the first takeaway I tried.

Ice cream and drinks are, sadly, excluded from this offer. So if you've got a total of just on £30, and there are drinks and/or ice cream in your order, then the code won't work. Annoyingly I found I had to go through the whole process again, clearing cache, before I could adjust my order and get it to work.

I know I keep throwing up these pizza deals, but I'm not addicted honest! I know that there are cheaper options out there (and healthier) when it comes to treating the kids. But if you've got older children and teenagers then nothing goes down quite as well as takeaway pizza, or takes as big a hit on your wallet. And of those, Pizza Hut do the yummiest (in my opinion!) and most expensive. This Pizza Hut half price pizza deal gets you 50% off orders over £30.

• Discount: 50%
• Minimum Spend: £30
• Applies To: Pizzas only, for collection
• Voucher Code: TAKWY56RY
• Expires: 3rd October 2010

It only applies to pizzas, and not to the deals, sides or dips. I tried it out on an order of two stuffed crust, meat supreme pizzas and one Super Saver Deal. The code 'said' that it hadn't worked, but on my order sub-totals, it had taken 50% off the two pizzas.

I've passed this one on to my friend - she's got an 11 year old son who is having a sleepover with his best mate this weekend, so it will come in handy. The only downside is that it is for collection only, and won't work if you try to apply it to an order for delivery. Still at least then you can order the pizzas and pick up much cheaper cokes, coleslaw and BBQ chicken wings from Tesco on the way past.
