From half price railcards to top nosh at great restaurants, here's our latest discounts and deals for the weekend.

March is in full swing, so here are our latest discounts and deals to put a spring in your step this weekend. Young travellers listen up. Until 16 March, National Rail is offering a Young Persons Railcard for half price at just £12. If you're aged between 16 - 25, the potential savings could be huge, as if you spend over £36 a year on rail trips the card will already pay for itself. Hurry, as the offer is only available online by using the promotional code SAVING12. Boots Advantage card holders will have a plethora of points up for grabs this weekend. Spend £50 or more in a single transaction and you'll qualify for 500 extra points until 11th March. Don't forget to check out the extra offers in store at the Advantage Card kiosk. Fancy a romantic meal for two - on a budget? Lastminute.com is currently offering a two course meal for the bargain price of £14.50. Unfortunately, most of the restaurants taking part in the deal are based in London. However, you can still grab some top nosh in Manchester, Cambridge, Oxford and Yorkshire. Book by Sunday 9th March to qualify. Finally, spend £50 or more at John Lewis and use this voucher to get £10 off your first purchase online. Offers which continue to be valid: Lidl currently has loads of gardening equipment on special offer. Deals include wellies and a garden tool set at £3.99 each - so you can tackle all those nasty winter weeds. You can also do your bit for the environment - and make a bit of extra cash - by visiting Green Metropolis.

Not bad for the price of a cuppa! If your summer holidays still seem a VERY long way off, check out Ryanair's latest promotion and book yourself a spring getaway instead.
