A number of other online shops were also famous for offering out deals to make sure they got a purchase over the line.
Curries, Hi Life and Hilary’s Blinds also gave out generous savings according to the comments.
This discovery comes after the Money Saving Expert icon Martin Lewis advised viewers to “walk away” from their online shopping basket to save hundreds of pounds on Christmas presents last month.
He says this can often include a discount code to motivate you to buy it.
It doesn’t always work but is worth a try.
Martin also advised shoppers to use price comparison websites such as Google Shopping and CamelCamelCamel.co.uk to find the best deals for you.

Tom explained: “There’s a big price difference between the supermarkets, over £30 between the cheapest and most expensive. I compared the cheapest option at each shop for the eight items.
“Some shops have more items in their budget ranges than others, so it’s difficult to compare quality, but if you’re simply looking for value, Aldi is the one to go for.
