About Eliza

Eliza Macinnes graduated with a master’s degree in Linguistics from the University of Essex before relocating to Edinburgh to begin her career.

She started at Voucherbox as a freelance copywriter, working with a variety of clients and uncovering a passion for writing and research. After nine months, Eliza transitioned to a new role in 2022, where she focused on creating content and quickly established herself as a money-saving expert. Her knack for uncovering the best bargains and insider tips from the discount code industry has translated into personal savings and a wealth of knowledge she shares with others. We asked her a few questions to help our community get to know her.

How long have you been with Voucherbox?

I've been part of the Voucherbox team for three years now – time really does fly! I started as a Content Manager and spent my time learning about the best ways to save money when you shop online. Since then, I've been scouring the internet for the best deals, the most niche savings tips, and perfecting my greatest skill – snagging a bargain! At the start of 2024, I stepped into a senior role, and my favourite part of the job is now sharing everything I've learned over the years with all of you.

What did you last redeem vouchers for?

It has been a few weeks since I last redeemed a voucher (I put myself on a temporary spending ban!), but my most recent purchase was a gift for my mum for Mother's Day. I treated her to a new River Island handbag – the Brown Premium Large Suede Bucket Bag, if you're curious – and used a Voucherbox exclusive 20% off discount code, saving over £10!

What is your best money-saving tip?

My best money-saving tip, for fashion specifically, is always to shop out of season. This means buying your coats and winter jackets in the summer and your sandals and dresses in the winter. Prices are always at their lowest, and combined with a voucher code, I've had some incredible bargains! Last year I secured a winter coat from ASOS for more than 60% off its in-season price when I purchased in the summer and used a Voucherbox discount code. It can be hard to decide what trends you want to try before the season arrives, so I usually use this trick to purchase staples and pieces I know I'll still love for months and years to come.
