Here are some more great tips on how to keep down costs - this week tea, coffee and cocktails.
Your cup of tea?
Free tea alert: sign up to the tea taster club at clipper-teas.com/join-our-club and it will send out a selection of tea samples to try four times a year. If you want something to chomp alongside it, Easter eggs could be the thing. The deals available now are usually better than those on offer just before Easter and even afterwards, when you’d think supermarkets would be flogging their old stock. Tesco is currently offering buy two, get two free on eggs including Rolo, Smarties, Kit Kat, Mars, Dairy Milk and Flake in its stores. Asda has KitKat Chunky, Rolo and Smarties, Mars and Cadbury Creme Egg. Asda, meanwhile, is flogging a range of Easter eggs for £1, as are pound stores.
...or brew of coffee?
Coffee fans who can’t give up the posh grain habit but don’t like the cost of buying a cuppa a day, it could be worth considering a new gourmet coffee subscription club. A commuter who buys a single cup of coffee from a High Street coffee chain every working day will spend more than £35 on their caffeine fix in a month, but Kopi’s coffee club costs from £6.95 for a bag of 250g of ground coffee or beans every month, each from a different plantation — and it claims this makes “25 cups of amazing gourmet coffee at just 28p per cup.” Save It readers can receive a 33% discount by visiting kopi.co.uk/EVES1.
Cheers, Malmaison
