Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

As all good bargain hunters know, the art of bargain building is one of the best ways to save money both online and on the high street. Avonshop.co.uk is always a decent place to uncover these kind of savings and at the moment customers can pick up £88-worth of items for just £25.40. The foundation of the saving is the fact that Avon is offering a free Anew clinical beauty treatment worth £31.50 when you spend £20 on other Anew items on its website. Before making your purchase, I'd recommend you visit http://ind.pn/cupNrq where the guys from the Mad About Bargains website detail which combination of Anew items provide the biggest savings.

Thousands of reductions

Homebase also has a huge sale on at the moment, with the promise of thousands of items reduced to half price. Some of the more impressive savings can be found within Homebase's kitchen department as an additional 25 per cent discount can be added to your half-price saving if you buy three kitchen units or more.

Nike kicks off half-price deals

The NikeStore sale kicked off last week with up to 50 per cent off selected items on its website. Some of the more popular items in the sale so far include a cyan Nike Rival women's training hoodie, reduced from £65 to £51.99, Nike Back Spin men's tennis shorts, down from £22 to £16.49, and Nike Classic BW men's trainers, reduced from £83 to £50.95. The sale ends on Sunday 18 July.

Never-ending Blue Cross sale

The latest Debenhams Blue Cross sale seems to be never-ending, with the expiry date now extended to Sunday 25 July. I've been through the specific discounts several times over the last couple of weeks, but it's still worth pointing out that some of the more impressive savings can be found within the womenswear department, where discounts of up to 70 per cent are likely to be found.
