Bargain Hunter: How to radiate savings as the cold snap forces us to turn up the heat
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Forecasters have warned of severe winter weather this weekend so we've arranged an exclusive snap discount deal on Radflek Radiator Reflectors for Bargain Hunter readers.
The reflectors sit behind radiators to stop heat escaping and going to waste. The manufacturer claims that the technology means 95 per cent of the wasted heat from behind your radiator is reflected back into the room, providing instant savings and typically paying for itself in just over a year.
The reflectors come in three, five and eight-sheet packs at £21.99, £33.99 and £49.99 respectively and under our deal you can get 25 per cent off at radflek.com/shop by entering the code NDBHJA2515. The discount is valid until 31 January 2015.
A winter wonder hotel break from £125 per couple
How about a bargain break with your loved one where you can cuddle up and escape the cold? Jupiter Hotels has a "Love Winter" deal with an exclusive two-night package available at 25 of its Mercure hotels across the UK – from just £125 per couple.
The deal includes dinner on the first night, breakfast on both mornings, plus a two-night stay and complimentary use of the Feel Good Health Club at hotels in places such as Edinburgh, York, Gloucester and Manchester.
The offer is available on stays between now until 28 February 2015, while bookings must be made by 31 January 2015. To get full details and book, go to jupiterhotels.co.uk.
Be lean and mean financially while feasting on takeaways
If you're belt-tightening this month but still partial to the odd takeaway, the specialist food-ordering website hungryhouse.co.uk has launched a new section dedicated to saving money.
The site promises to make it easier for customers to find special offers and discounts, making the online ordering process cheaper as well as more convenient than calling a local takeaway.
Features include incentives such as reward stamps, so that if you order five times from one restaurant, you can get a 50 per cent discount on the 6th order. There's also a Taste Test offered for some restaurants that gives you a 20 per cent discount on your first order.
Full details from the site: hungryhouse.co.uk/blog/more-takeaway/.
Or go down the pub for British meals from £2.99
If you'd rather go out for a meal and are seeking a bargain, Sizzling Pubs has launched a new Blue Cross Menu, which includes a selection of traditional dishes from just £2.99.
The Blue Cross Menu includes British sausages & mash, steak & Batemans Ale pie, hand-battered fish & chips and Wiltshire-cured ham & eggs.
The chain has pubs across the country – from Aberdeen to Swansea to Plymouth, it says. Find your nearest location and other offers – such as kids for a quid – at sizzlingpubs.co.uk.
