Have A Night Our For Less! by Finance News Bulletin

Published: 09/11/07

A pal of mine phoned me a couple of nights ago to complain about the lack of occasion she and her partner seem to get together Since having a baby a couple of years before they've found themselves on a tight budget, so a simple nighttime out has become a really large dealWhat's more, she explained that after paying a babysitter, and taxis to and from where they're going they could with no trouble have spent £40, without having done anything Indeed, I know she's not the only one emotion like this as anyone having to exist on a tight budget needs to be careful and timepiece where every penny goes

But, as I explained, the crafty can still have a great night out when on a tight budget So here are a few of the suggestions I gave her to show how you can pay less for a night outIf anyone is paying full cost at the moment in Pizza Express I'll be astonished For a start The Times is currently running a endorsement that gives a free main meal when two people dine there - and the most expensive serving of food is free (snip out the coupon in the newspaper)

The Times present only runs from Sunday to Thursday, so if the babysitter is booked for a Friday or Saturday seem to your trusty Nectar points instead - you can at present get a voucher for a free main serving of food (the cheaper one is gratis when two dine for just 500 points and the present can be used on any day of the week You'll need to apply for the coupon and the offer expires at the finish of NovemberIf Pizza isn't your thing and you have a Tesco Clubcard, check out the deals it has on offer change those points to Clubcard Deals and for every £2

50 you'll get £10 to spend in Cafe Rouge, HaHa saloon & Canteen, Bella Italia, Caffe Uno, Harry Ramsden's, Ma Potter's Chargrill, Ortega Tapas bars Santa Fe, Tootsies and Dexter's, plus many more letter that the vouchers must characteristically be used against food purchases only, so you'll require to pay for drinks separatelyAnd if you live near a Wagamama's, remember to register and check the place every now and again Its promotion room has offers on for different restaurants every week, from free main serving of food offers when two people eat dinner, to free drinks and side orders

Simply print out the vouchersIf you fancy seeing a movie for less good aged Nectar comes up trumps again For 1,000 points you can get an adult Vue cinema label (900 points for a child's label outside London (adult tickets for London cinemas or gold tickets cost an additional 300 points)Alternatively, check out Lastminute

com -- it has reserve tickets for any of the London Vue cinemas for just £425 - not bad when you'd pay over £11 full priceimproved still; why not see a film for free If you're in London, the Prince Charles movies is hosting a free, four week film festival with Film4

Two movies are being screened every Thursday (at around 615pm and 845pm) for gratis -- just turn up and maintain your free ticket on the night Free films to see this Thursday are "My good-looking Launderette" and "Last King of Scotland"

And if you're attractive flexible and like the idea of considering films before they're released for gratis, why not sign up to SeeFilmFirst The company is used by main film companies and the media to distribute tickets for movie previews By signing up you will be emailed the latest showings on present -- but you need to be quick as it is first come, first servedIf you're in London and fancy considering a play or show, make sure out Lastminute again; it has various deals with theatre tickets from just £10

And don't forget you can at present boost your Nectar points total by 100 points by captivating their surveyMy friend and her partner have now determined to book an evening out, and will be having dinner at Pizza Express, followed by a film at their restricted Vue cinema, all courtesy of their faithful Nectar points What's more, as her mum has volunteered to babysit, and they're preparation to take the bus to and from town they think they'll be able to do it all for less than £20 I'll be very interested to see how she does
