Tipple

You can now get 20% off all single bottles of champagne and sparkling wine at Oddbins (excluding already-discounted items).

The offer is available both in-store and online, and the discount should be given automatically at the check-out. The deal runs until 4th October.

Shop online with Sainsbury's and you can get a 25% discount when you buy any six or more bottles of Australian or New Zealand wine.

This deal includes wine that is already on offer, and is valid on deliveries made by 13th October. The discount will be applied automatically but will only show on your receipt.

Please drink responsibly!

Cut price snacks

Millie's Cookies is still offering a print-off voucher booklet which includes various 2 for 1 deals on cookies and ice cream. The vouchers expire on 31st October.

Budget bakery Greggs is still running its 2 for 1 promotion on steak bakes. Just register here and print the voucher, which is redeemable until 4th October.

And Starbucks coffee lovers might want to sign up for a Starbucks card. When you load it and use it in-store instead of cash, you'll be entitled to free shots of syrup, whipped cream and speciality milks whenever you buy a coffee.

In addition, you'll get a free Tall beverage of your choice every time you buy a bag of whole bean Starbucks coffee.

Voucher codes

This actually a cut-out newspaper voucher, rather than an online code: Pick up a copy of The Sun newspaper on Saturday 3rd October and search for the voucher entitling you to £5 off a £30 spend at Waitrose.

The voucher will be valid (in-store) from 3rd-10th October. You're only allowed one voucher per person, and the £30 has to be spent in a single transaction. Certain items (like stamps, tobacco and gift vouchers) are excluded from the promotion, so make sure you read the voucher small print before you start shopping.

Voucher code promotions tend to be withdrawn quickly. If you've missed out on this one, you can use the following websites to track down new voucher codes as and when they come up:
