So Im guessing you are all thinking what on earth is this?
Well years ago I was a Girl Scout and did Duke of Edinborough etc - love a Badge and or a Sticker - so when I heard about this Merit Badges for Adults and its aim of helping people develop life skills and trying new hobbies I decided to learn more. So now I am tackling the April Challenge - which is the Chocolate challenge and have to admit that Harrogate is THE place for this due to our amazing chocolate shops - for example - https://harrogatechocolatefactory.org.uk which is both an amazing Cafe and Chocolate factory run as a social enterprize. Newly opened and an asset to the Harrogate Food Scene is - https://www.thechocworks.com/ which has just opened on Station Parade offerening both savoury and sweet items. Finally if those 2 amazing businesses just havn't covered all your amazing chocolate needs we have a beautiful branch of Hotel Chocolat nestled on James Street. So as part of my Rebel Chocolate Badge - I am forcing myself to test wares at these fine establishments! - for more info check out - https://www.rebelbadgestore.com/rebelblog/qdy96ghg1mpfbl3aznsfxmvixradhz

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.
