Find the cheapest eateries

A bit of research in to where to eat goes a long way...

Have a look at restaurant critic Charles Campion’s favourite places in the UK to eat out for under £10. If you’re in London, check out Time Out’s cheap eats.

And Avoid those restaurant rip-offs to ensure the price of your cheap meal doesn’t mushroom!

Hunt out restaurant deals

Certain websites have set up deals with hundreds of UK restaurants, so you can grab special offers and big price reductions when you book through them.

If you want to treat yourself to a meal out, use TopTable, 5pm or Skiddle to find money-saving meal deals.

Similarly, many restaurants are offering 2 for 1 vouchers right now. Check out our weekly Frugal Food round-up to find out more.

 Hunt out the happy hour

If you're looking for a cheap pre or post-dinner drink, take advantage of any happy hours you come across!

Use these happy hours to get pitchers of cocktails and/or wine and making them last for the rest of the evening. This nifty site tells you where you can pick up 2 for 1 cocktails in London.
