    I went to the local curry house this weekend and the assistant manager gave me 20% off!! I was an all you can eat buffet and I was asking about the charge for my DD. Anyhow that saved me £10.
    Used costa points today about £2.50
    I keep finding pennies everywhere, 5pence so far and I also found a 20pence piece.
