LONDON, ENGLAND, January 09, 2011

Twenga, the most comprehensive search engine, reveals that Brits may have found their own way to answer the VAT increase: vouchers searches have increased by 180% over the last month.

With the VAT increase and people now trying to make the most of their disposable income, the results show that the discount culture may become even more popular in the coming weeks and months.
