Everyman cinema membership
Anyone taken out Everyman cinema membership? I think for an annual fee you get 6 free tickets, BOGOF Mondays, special event offers, 10% off food and drink. Is it worth it if you don't drink alcohol, and not sure how much pizza/ burgers can munch on again and again. Would I be better off just joining Vue or Odeon?

[Help needed] discount on O2 Academy?
My New Year’s resolution is to go to lots of gigs, and I’ve already spotted several at my local O2 academy, but I know it’s going to add up fast. Is there any way to save money on tickets? I looked at getting O2 Priority but that doesn’t seem to save you money on tickets, it just lets you jump queues.

Why is wine in pubs/restaurants so expensive?
Why is wine in pubs/restaurants so expensive and has anyone started a campaign to do anything about it? I understand that draft beer requires some TLC. Correct cellar temperature, clean pipes and even pouring skills, so although not 100% happy, can accept the usual price charged. But for a large glass of wine out of a…

Money Moral Dilemma: Should I refuse to pay the service charge when eating out?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I've just moved to London from the south-west of England. Restaurants are expensive and normally charge at least 12.5% for service. I visited a café where I was annoyed to be charged the 'dine in' rate of almost £2 more per item, and then charged extra for service too. I paid…

Odeon ticket prices - cheapest options (analysis)
Odeon seat and screen types 'Premier' seats just have a larger headrest. This may restrict the view if you are in subsequent rows behind Premier seats. They are also possibly in the best place in the cinema, but this is not necessarily the case. There is a flat £2 per person supplement for premier seating (e.g. £4 for…

Hi this is back on. Lasts until Friday I believe . You need to download the app and show the code to your server, please read the t&c. It says can't be used on buffet, which I'm unsure if that means the carvery itself, as there isn't a lot of choice on "main" meals. Hopefully someone can clarify!

What's the cheapest drink at the pub?
I'm going to sound really boring but I'm a water drinker at home. Even if I've got an early start for work, I still drink water not coffee. In the office it's water. After a long hard week at work, it'll still be a glass of water with my dinner. The only time I don't drink water is when I'm going to social events/going for…
