The Milton Keynes Money Savers Thread - Mark 3

Hi

I've been to the Odeon, although the ticket prices were slightly cheaper the refreshments are still expensive - 2 slushy type drinks plus popcorn = £9.

The seats were OK though!

bring back easycinema - was nice to legitimately bring your own grub !

I go to the Odeon more often ( mainly because the free tickets tend to be for there ! )

Cineworld delux seats are very nice - but not cheap worth it if someone else is paying !

OH is self employed. We're based in coventry and he does a lot of work in the MK area, and wants to employ someone down there to save petrol costs,

where gets the best coverage with biggest readership for the least money please?

Alternatively (dunno if i can put this, so apologies if it's against the rules, but i have no time to find out as baby already getting bored on my lap ), please pm me if you (or any reliable, well presented, logical + friendly friends of yours) want a job for 1-2 days (or 2/3 evenings maybe) a week.


Cheers.

At least Odeon staff look like they might be glad you turned up! And the queues are MUCH shorter, although those cinemas are a bit boxy. And slightly cheaper of course - but parking easier. I use Odeon more often than Xscape now.

MK Citizen is the local paper - wide coverage, read by most.

In Tesco Kingston today they had reduced most of the Dulux paint to half price, plenty left of all colours - kitchen, once, gloss and bathroom paint.

Great - thanks. I hope they still have some left today:o

MK Toys R Us have about 4 in stock as of about 30mins ago... my OH has just arrived home with a Wii (bundled with Wii Sports), Super Fruit Fall, Pinball Classics and Monster 4x4 Circuit for £249.99.

I can see what I'll be doing all weekend...!

The Natural World store in CMK is closing down, and all stock has been reduced by 50%. I'm not sure how long it is before they close (the company has gone into administration).

Opposite the market in the centre between Woolworths and BHS...

That's a shame - great place for thinking kids presents. Does this mean the franchise in the new Dobies garden centre is closing too?

I believe it is as well, yes. Apparently the Dobbies franchise has taken less £s than the MK store - the MK store may be one of the last stores to close in the area.
