:: In case you missed it (and I have a more details to add): Download and install the new Greggs smartphone app to get a free regular-sized hot drink when you sign in to the ‘my rewards’ section. A barcode will appear on your phone screen to be scanned at the checkout. For every seven coffees you buy after that, you’ll get one free too. You can also pay for food and drink via the app -– and the first time you top up £10 or more you’ll get a free breakfast. Download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. For more details go to https://www.greggs.co.uk/rewards.

:: Starbucks is continuing its 50p off when you bring your own reusable cup promotion until the end of the month (it’s normally a 25p discount).

:: To get free delivery and 25 per cent off your first online order from H&M (one item only), sign up to the clothing chain’s newsletter at http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/customer-service/newsletter.html.

:: Have your eye on a product sold by Amazon but in no rush to buy it? The retail giant’s prices fluctuate frequently and you can make big savings by ordering at just the right time. Maximise your chances by setting a price-watch at http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com. Tell the site how much you are willing to pay, type in your email address and you will be alerted if and when the price dips below that threshold. Helpfully, the site also tells you if the item you want has been cheaper in the past so you can make an educated guess as to whether it’s likely to fall again.
