It found that the Welsh city of Wrexham is the UK’s biggest cost-cutting city. There are an average of 9,027 discount-related searches in Wrexham each month, which, when accounting for population, comes out as 13,742 searches per 100,000 people. The brands that Wrexham residents are searching most for discount codes were found to be Asos, Boohoo, and JD Sports.

Coming in second place is Norwich, with the Norfolk city coming in with 13,742 searches per 100,000 people each month. This is due to 18,385 monthly searches from a population of 143,118 people. Asos, Deliveroo, and Boohoo were the city’s most popular brands for discount codes.

Liverpool takes third place on the list, with an average of 59,273 searches for vouchers each month, which equates to 12,234 searches per 100,000 people. Asos, Boohoo, and Matalan were the city’s most in-demand brands for discounts.

Commenting on the findings, Ian Cowley, managing director of CartridgeSave.co.uk, said: “There’s no shame in bargain-hunting, especially with online shopping, and nowadays discounts can only be a few seconds away. When looking at these statistics, it is interesting to see where this demand for discounts and promotional codes is greater. Additionally, the sheer volume of searches nationwide for discounts, with more than 1.9 million searches a month across the UK, highlights how we’re all looking to trim down costs, particularly with the rising cost of living.”
