- IF YOU'RE striving to start the year by getting in shape, Lidl has a health and fitness range to help you shed pounds without spending many. Food highlights available now include cranberry & goji rawballs (40g, £1.29), Proteinella milk chocolate or white chocolate hazelnut spread (400g, £3.49), organic crunchy and creamy peanut butter (350g, £2.49) and Belgian chocolate with no added sugar (100g, £1.49). Fancy trying yoga? No need to bend over backwards or trouble that bank balance - your budget will stretch at Lidl too. From January 22 you can a complete outfit and mat from less than £12. Choose from one of three styles of top (£3.99), leggings or harem pants (£5.99) and a mat (£5.99) and buy them together for £11.99 instead of the total £15.97 they would cost if bought separately.

- Beat the January blues with Yo! Sushi. The Japanese restaurant chain normally sells a selection of blue-plate dishes for £2.80 on Mondays but it has broadened the offer to 47 dishes every weekday until January 19. This deal is not available on takeaway orders. Students who sign up for the mailing list at https://yosushi.com/offers/student get 25 per cent off all year round, too (except Mondays and Saturdays), although you can't combine that discount with other promotions.
