Eating Out on the Cheap
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009
Having a meal out with a partner or friend is sometimes just what we all need to help us wind down from things going on in our lives. I don’t know about you, but typically I find that the times when I need this the most, are usually the times when I’m lowest on cash and can least afford it. Because of this, I thought I’d put together here a few ideas for eating out on the cheap which you can employ when you reeeeally need that time out, but just can’t afford to spend too much.
Look out for discount days
Lots of restaurants and takeaways have days that are quietest (often Tuesdays or Wednesdays), and in order to attract more people in on those days, they offer special deals. These can be things such as 2 for 1 on main meals, or free desert with a main course. One place that’s been advertising something like this at the moment is Pizza Hut, who are offering a free pizza with any order of a pizza and a side for delivery orders
Check online for discount vouchers
There are a number of sites around, including BView, who offer printable coupons that can be taken to restaurants to give you additional discounts on your meals. Quite a number of places also offer vouchers on their own websites, and it’s worth checking for these as offers change fairly regularly.
Picnics & BBQ’s
Of course you could go down the picnic route if the weather is fine enough. A nice bottle of wine, a bit of cold meat, salad and bread, a blanket and a good view can really be a very relaxing way of eating out cheaply, then there’s the humble BBQ. Invite some friends, and eat al fresco. If you do it right, and ask everyone to bring something, no one spends a fortune and everyone has a good time. Just do make sure you cook everything properly won’t you!
Save up points & vouchers
It might sound like an odd way to do it, but saving up points from schemes like the Nectar scheme or Tesco’s clubcard scheme can give you a very affordable evening out, and in some instances these can be used along side some of the deals that restaurants offer. These points can then be exchanged for vouchers to be used in various places including many eateries and sometimes you actually get more for your points this way than you would if you spent them in the store.
My husband and I sometimes like to combine the picnic idea with the spending points one, and we’ll save our Boots advantage card points and go get ourselves a nice sandwich from Boots, then take it down by the river and eat while watching the boats go by.

Tesco Points Vouchers – How to use them to your best advantage
Friday, June 26th, 2009
Tesco is probably one of the best supermarkets for collecting points from at the moment, offering 1 point for every £1 spent in the store or petrol station as well as in their online stores, and with extra points offered if you shop using their credit card as well. One point is equal to a penny if you spend it on regular food goods so that’s not too bad. However, there are ways that you can make each of those points worth either 2p or 4p depending on how you use them.
First of all there are Tesco deals vouchers. These have been around for a while now and so many people have already come across them. Tesco allow you to exchange each £2.50 worth of Tesco points voucher for £10 of deals voucher, making each point you earned worth 4p. You have to choose which deals voucher you want when you order them, but there’s quite a variety of choice from vouchers for days out at places such as Legoland or the zoo, to vouchers which can be spent at restaurants such as Bella Italia, Café Rouge or Harry Ramsdens. They can also be turned into vouchers for jewellery at Goldsmiths, or Air miles as well as a variety of other places.
Alternatively, the new way of using your points vouchers is to use them in store on specific departments where you can now exchange them for ‘in store deals vouchers’ worth 2x the amount of your original points voucher so £5 becomes £10 and each point is worth 2p. The departments that you can do this for are, Toys, Clothing, Baby & Toddler, Cosmetics & Skincare, Tesco Mobile, and Wines. To do this, all you have to do is to either use the tesco online system to exchange them using the codes on your vouchers which you can do here or you can exchange them by post by printing out this order form and sending it off to them as it tells you to. Done online the vouchers normally arrive in about a week, and done by post a little longer. Then you just use them in store to buy items from the relevant department just as you normally would, and hand over the voucher at the checkout. The only difference being that you get twice as much for your money.

Discount Supermarkets
Monday, April 27th, 2009
When people talk about supermarkets, generally they’re talking about places like Tesco, Asda or Sainsburys (the big three). But there are lots of others, some of which are known as discount supermarkets. These discount supermarkets are stores such as Aldi, Netto and Lidl. The thing is, are they any cheaper, and if they are, does the quality of the products hold up?
It’s a good question really – after all why would they be considered discount if they weren’t cheap? Well in fact the reason that places like this can get away with charging less for some of their products isn’t just to do with the quality of the products. In fact, it’s got a lot to do with the layout and look of the store. Large well known places like Tesco make everything nice and neat and tidy, they take items from the storage rooms and transfer them from crates onto the shelves in nice neat stacks. Discount supermarkets often don’t make things quite so pretty, they take the crate and stack that on the shelf rather than taking the products from the crate first, or even just put a stack of crates in a gap on the floor and don’t even bother with shelves. This helps them to keep some of their overheads down and means that they can then pass the saving on to the customer.
Another factor that can contribute to keeping the prices lower, is that although generally they will always have certain key items, they won’t always have the same brands of everything, opting to buy whichever is cheapest at the time, and meaning you may have to opt for a brand you don’t normally buy if you want that product.
So, in conclusion if you don’t mind the store layout being a little shabbier, and you’re not too picky about brand names, then it’s probably worth giving places like this a try and seeing how you like their products. Many of them are of just as high quality, and the financial saving can make it well worth while. One thing it is worth noting though is that most of these discount supermarkets also make another big saving by charging for their carrier bags, so if you don’t want to waste money having to buy a few bits of plastic to carry everything in, make sure you pop a few of your own bags in the boot of the car to use instead.
One thing worth keeping your eye open for in this sort of store is oddball items that one wouldn’t normally expect to find here – from tents to computers, power tools to pushchairs. If a deal is good, the discount supermarket may buy a one off job lot of a product and once it’s gone, it’s gone, but while it is there, it’s often a lot cheaper than it could be bought elsewhere.
