Tipple
The Revolution Bar chain is currently running 2 for 1 offers on lots of different drinks, including cocktails, pitchers, six-shot sticks, vodka Red Bulls, Becks, Bulmers, wine and more.
To claim your freebie, print off this voucher, tick the 2 for 1 offer you want, and present it at your nearest bar.
Each 2 for 1 requires you to present a new voucher, so you might want to print off several! The offer runs all day every day except Saturdays after 9pm - and ends 12th February.
The deal isn’t valid at bars in Scotland (for alcoholic drinks), Leadenhall or America Square.
New online shoppers with Tesco Wine can still get £10 off orders over £50.
To get the discount, enter the code XX7HFW at the checkout. Bear in mind that you need to order at least 12 bottles of wine, or six of Champagne. This offer runs until 27th February.

And finally... free WeightWatchers membership
Are you one of the thousands of Brits on a new year’s health drive? At the moment, WeightWatchers is offering three months’ membership (usually charged at £10.95 per month) for free.
And - although there’s usually a £32.95 initial registration fee - there a way to get around that, too: If you sign up via TopCashback, you’ll get cashback of £30.30.
That means when you choose the three month plan option, you’ll get it for virtually nothing.
If you don’t want to start paying after three months, just make absolutely sure you cancel your subscription before then.
