Summer bargains and discount family deals

This is an excellent time of year for family bargains, since the summer sales are in full swing. If you are one of those horribly organised people that I never talk to, you might even be scooping up a few bargains to put away for *whisper it* Christmas.

Bargains in toys, arts and crafts

Tesco Direct have got lots of bargains including 20% off toys, and you can also get £10 credit if you spend £100 before 1st August - use code TDX-JKHN

The Entertainer toy shop also has a big summer sale on, with up to 50% off and big savings in arts and crafts.

If you're planning on getting crafty this summer, Crafts4Kids have got various offers running at the moment, including 20% off some ranges and up to 70% off individual items, and free postage on orders over £30.

Toys R Us has got some good bargains on outdoor toys, but you'll have to be quick to catch them as the sale ends on 31st July. I can't help thinking that the bad weather so far this year means that there might be some good deals to be had on outdoor toys, as shops won't want to be stuck with them. And the sun's got to come out at some point, right?

Discounts still running

We're taking a break on the Tuesday discount roundup for a few weeks, but we'll be back in September with more bargains and exclusive deals for Ready for Ten readers.

But until then don't forget about:

• Where the best bargains are for cut-price school uniforms
• How to get 50% off a magazine subscription your children will love
• Exclusive discount - 20% off a range of gorgeous girls' clothes
• The best ways to get discounts for some of the country's most popular attractions, including how dads can get free tickets just for them.

And if you spot a great bargain that you just have to share - tell us about it
