(1) be aware that these experience or overnight stay packages you see all over arn't always as good a deal as they seem -ie very restricted date use and not weekends. These companies charge the hotel or venue about 40% commission which is why they only take them off peak - you can ring a hotel or venue direct and buy a gift voucher from them which will give you much better value for the same money.
(2) Sign up for whatever free point schemes are going - they are all on phone apps and if you do buy coffee remember your reusable cup for a discount or for example Nero gives you extra bonus points. Pret does a monthly scheme if you need coffee and wifi - or shop around for a local who might do something similar. (3) make sure you get all the coupons and discounts you can - Tesco do personalised Vouchers (ie things you actually buy), as do Co-op, Waitrose and nectar points with Sainsburys (don't forget Nectal also links up with Ebay so you can get points even on auctions and second hand items.

This fab addition to the Harrogate Christmas offer will be located on Crescent Gardens only a 5 minute walk from The Camberley & Lodge and only a stones throw from the Christmas Market. This will be in addition to the Ferris Wheel, Helter Skelter and a stunning array of Market stalls.
Lets face it we all have a favourite or easy access Supermarket - which is your go to on a regular basis. I am not an advocate of trailing round 3 supermakets to save 5p on beans - its petrol and or time which lets face it most of us don't have.
I do however think its worth taking advantage of this app - https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/supermarket-price-comparison if you are going to do a stock up of a particular item (for us its Toilet paper) which can lead to a considerable saving on bulk shops on non pershiable items. This new and exciting adfition to the harrogate restaurant scene opens just 5 mins walk from us. With a strong focus on fresh local produce developed by a young team keen to make their mark and showcase their culleinary talents.
This is an annual addition to the Harrogate event scene where suppliers of every kind of home development product come to showcase their wears. There is everything from the smallest door handle to building your own house Grand Designs style. There are free workshops throughout the show to get you started in your development journey. As Simon and I approach our 32nd Bathroom we are always looking for new design ideas and seeing what products are on the market so will be attending on the Sunday. I enclose a link for free tickets

So as part of this series I introduce to those of you that havn't heard of it the OLIO app - this is both to give away unwanted food items or to collect them. We have used it if say we need to give away items that can't be frozen for example eggs - you simply register on the app and you can give items away or collect them - especially for items comming up to their use by date. We understand in this time people are being both careful of money and the environment so this can be a useful tool. People have used it to set up centeral banks for time sensitive food that the food bank won't take which means only one drop off and one collection if people are short for time. Internationally famous chef Marco Pierre White and other top chef's such as Pierre Koffman and Jean Christophe-Novelli taking the center stage.
VIP tickets with exclusive access to the stars and close up demos of them preparing their signature dishes as well as new techniques will be performed live. https://www.greatwhitefestival.com/ 3 halls of stands of producers and suppliers will also be avaliable for your viewing and tasking pleasure and we are hoping that this tasty event will become a highlight of the Harrogate annual calender. |
