Name bargains that most peo0le would not know about or perhaps are not well advertised to gain traction.

If you drink cans of soft drink, always buy them from Farmfoods. They often have them on offer, and you can get 24-packs for about £7.

I wish I had a Farmfoods near me. Closest one is over 20 miles away

Aldi bottled water - 12 x 500ml for £1.75.
FWIW - We only buy bottled water when we are going to an event, on a trip etc. We use refillable metal bottles 99% of the time.

What’s wrong with your tap? 🚰
GenericBrowse@reddit
Its attached to my house, and I can't take that to the theatre, or on long drives
jdsuperman@reddit
I can't see the comment you're replying to, but I can easily tell what it said. There's always, always one dick (in fact, there's usually more than one) any time anyone mentions drinking water from anything other than a tap.

Blue light card if youre eligible.
£5 and 2 years of discounts on pretty much anything is a nobrainer

I did a Quadruple whammy with this on a Dell laptop.
Laptop was on sale Got money off with blue light card Got cashback from TopCashback Got money back using my Amex card
As they were all with separate it didn’t count as ‘discount stacking’ and I saved a LOT of money

If you live in London link your railcard to your oyster card and get 30% off your tube fare off peak

Home bargains sells toilet roll so much cheaper and in bigger quantities. It’s such good quality too
Akitapal@reddit
What is the brand please?
Breaking-Dad-@reddit
We use Nicky from HB so I assume that is it. It is way cheaper but still good quality.
DangerousDisplay7664@reddit
Nicky Elite though! Do not buy Nicky Ultra because it is terrible!
Breaking-Dad-@reddit
I didn't know there were others, ours only sells Elite. We must have a post Home Bargains!
DangerousDisplay7664@reddit
Yeah, I was shopping in B&M back last year and saw it, assumed it would be great quality like the Elite is and was very disappointed to find that it was very, VERY thion and easy to poke a finger through 😳😱
DangerousDisplay7664@reddit
Nicky Elite for the win! 🏆
luxford2@reddit
I second this! I think it’s about £5.49 for 24 rolls, lasts at least 3-6 months.

The 6 pack of toilet roll in Aldi lasts around 3 times longer that the 9 pack does. (There are 3 ppl in our household). It's around the same price as the 9 pack too.
DangerousDisplay7664@reddit
The Nicky Elite toilet paper in Home Bargains/farmfoods is S level and is a lot cheaper than most other toilet paper! 🧻
this_HOAR_wants_MOAR@reddit
How much is it and how many on a pack? The Aldi 6 pack is 2 pound odd and lasts us about 5-6wks. How much is the Nicky one?
DoctorWhofan789eywim@reddit
Even if you already have a 26-30 railcard, you can buy a new one the day before your 31st birthday and you get another year of railcard discount.
DangerousDisplay7664@reddit
Don’t T&Cs specify that you have to actually be between 18-30 to use it though?!
_restingbitchface@reddit
That’s why they said the day before your 31st birthday, when you’re still 30
Goldman250@reddit
My 31st is coming up later this month, I’ve set a reminder to purchase a new railcard the day before. Trains are far too expensive, even with me usually getting at least half the money back because I always end up needing to claim Delay Repay.

At McDonald's you can add another burger to a double cheese burger in the customisatiom and it costs less than a triple cheese burger
miggleb@reddit
At burger king a double cheeseburger add bacon made plain is half the cost of a bacon double cheeseburger.
deathmetalbestmetal@reddit
You can neither add a patty to a double, nor can you order a triple. Discontinued last year.
No-Translator5443@reddit
3 McDonald’s burgers equal 1 normal burger thickness lol

Can also get free archiving from dropbox if you pay once, upload everything you want then cancel. From then you can only download stuff but acts as a decent off site storage for a one time payment

£1.00 coffee network thing on Three+
Every single week a £1.00 coffee at Nero and a £1.00 coffee at 92 degrees.
My wife and I use the Nero one most weeks and get a little date out of it.
Farmfoods, sometimes it’s cheap because it’s shite but most of the time it’s decent stuff, maybe a short date or a discontinued flavour of something.
huskydaisy@reddit
Octopus do a free Greggs or Cafe Nero coffee once a week as well, you have to be quick to get the codes though.
lexington_spurs@reddit
There is also https://www.reddit.com/r/frugaluk

Co-op meal deal you can get a ginsters Cornish pasty as your snack.

I upgraded my bank account, but because I have my salary paid in there I don’t have to ‘pay’ for it and now I get Disney+ for free!

Il Traliccio sangiovese.
It’s a very popular Italian red that seems to be the house red at quite a lot of good restaurants and bars around me. With a multi-buy or loyalty reduction you can pick up a bottle for about £7, which is what a glass will cost you at your favourite Italian.
MahatmaAndhi@reddit
Trip.com picks up more Split Save bargains than Trainline (who also charge a booking fee) and the rail networks direct.
I save £27 a day on my commute.
