Hi,
Long time lurker here, but only recently signed up.
I've loved looking here for years (my mum first introduced me when I first moved out of home). It has saved me HEAPS.
I'm now moving to the UK, and was wondering whether there is an equivalent community to OzBargain over there?
I can't live without my bargains!
UK equivalent of OzBargain?

Awesome, thanks so much!
I used this website for deals and restaurant vouchers while I was living over there a few years ago:
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/
Good luck!
www.hotukdeals.com for most of the bargains, very similar to ozbargain, users go nuts for lingerie deals :)
then go to moneysavingexpert.com for other deals that might not be available on hotukdeals. Good info for your rights as customer. Remember to check the Amazon discount finder there.
if you're student then go to www.studentbeans.com. Remember to apply for myunidays
Oh also check all the cashback programs, most stores have them !!!
In general, bargain hunter is much easier there than here.
Definitely sign up for a Boots card, benefits to be had there like free meal deals and money off your purchases.
And Nectar points can be gained at a lot of places. Easiest place to start is Sainsburys. 500 points = 2.50 pounds off your groceries as you go.
Good cashback site http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ (I've used it quite a few times - even got free Thorntons chocolates (sent to a sick friend).
I have a referral link but not sure if I can post it here.
Where in UK are you going to live?
In terms of community spirit and the way website is operated, I'll say HotUKDeals is closest to OzBargain. I've met the founder Paul twice when he visited Sydney — great guy.
For sites similar to OzBargain in other regions, please see this page in wiki — List of Bargain Sites
Another vote for MSE.
hotukdeals.com would be the one, discussion thread for hotukdeals and other discussion can be found in the wiki here
