‘Free’ recipe kit, £100 Costa giftcard, £30 off hotels, £100 beauty calendar, cinema bundle

Hey there! I’ve got a little surprise for you at the end of this newsletter, but you’re going to have to be quick!

It’s been a great week for Chloe’s Deal Club, as I’ve had the chance to work with two of my dream brands - IKEA and Secret Escapes. Wow! 🥳

It kinda blows my mind that I furnished my first flat at uni with things from IKEA and I still shop there all the time, and now I’m working on campaigns with them. So thank you for supporting me and making really friggin’ cool things like this happen.

Honestly, if you’ve been thinking of starting a social media account to share something you’re passionate about, or a side hustle but have never got round to it. JUST START. You never know what cool things it could lead to so just go for it because life’s too short.

Motivational chat over. Let’s look at some deals and freebies.

🥘 Free SimplyCook Box Worth £9.99

This is a limited time offer!

You can get a box of 4 ‘free’ recipe kits from SimplyCook, and all you need to do is cover 50p postage. What a bargain!

This offer is usually £3 for postage, but I’ve negotiated with the SimplyCook team to get you it for only 50p!

These recipe kits are fantastic. Each of the 4 kits includes 3 flavour posts which could be spice blends, marinades, rubs, pastes, dips or garnishes. You simply add these flavour pots to your fresh ingredients to create restaurant quality dishes at home.

Here’s how to get your ‘free’ recipe kit:

1. Tap the ‘claim your recipe kits’ button below

2. Choose your 4 recipes - there’s hundreds to choose from

3. Pay 50p postage and they’ll be delivered to your door within a few days

These SimplyCook kits are super popular because you buy your fresh ingredients at the supermarket as normal, which means you can tailor the meals to your own dietary requirements and also reduce waste.

Note: It is a subscription, but you’re in control and can manage this within your online SimplyCook account.

💄 LookFantastic Advent Calendar

The LookFantastic advent calendar caught my eye because it has some great brands! The calendar includes 27 beauty products and 13 of them are full size.

• Sol de Janeiro Perfume Mist (full size) - worth £33

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyeshadow Palette (full size) - worth £48

Just those products above are worth £241.90, so the calendar being £100 is fantastic value! You can see everything else that’s included by tapping below.

🍿 Cineworld Sunday Bundle

Cineworld has introduced a Sunday Bundle where you can get all of this for only £10:

You have to book this deal online, so there’s a 95p booking fee making it £10.95 total, and it’s only available on Sundays for films that start before 5pm.

It’s also available for IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX and Superscreen and you pay a ‘small uplift’ for the premium format you choose.

🛍️ What I’ve Bought This Week

Here’s a couple of things I’ve bought this week and how I saved money on my purchases:

✨Teddy Bedding from Dunelm
This is the cosiest, fluffiest bedding you’ll ever buy and it’s great for winter! I always buy ours from Dunelm because the quality and fit is better than other brands I’ve bought and they have super king size.

• Duvet & 2 pillow case set = £32

• Fitted sheet = £17

• 2 x pillow cases = £8

• Total = £57

💰 How I saved money at Dunelm:
I went via TopCashback to get 1.11% cashback on the pre-VAT price (52p) and got 1% cashback by paying with my Chase card (57p). So in total, I saved £1.09

✨ Dry Shampoo from Amazon
Batiste is the GOAT of dry shampoo. I’ve tried various cheaper ones, but you just can’t beat Batiste. I ordered 6×200ml individual cans, even though there was a 6-pack option. Here’s why:

The 6-pack was reduced from £17.94 to £14.64 which £1.22/100ml. At first glance, you’d think this is good.

BUT the individual cans are reduced from £3.59 to £2.40, which is £1.20/100ml. So it’s actually a little cheaper to buy the 6 individual cans instead of the 6-pack.

💰 How I saved more money at Amazon
I bought the 6 individual cans on a Subscribe & Save to get them 10% cheaper at £2.16 per can which is £1.08/100ml.

So in total, I saved £5.10 by buying when they’re on sale, choosing individual cans with Subscribe & Save and paying with my Chase card for 1% cashback.

❤️ £100 Costa Gift Card

As a thank you for reading my newsletters, I’ve loaded £100 onto a Costa gift card so you can hopefully claim a free drink if you’re quick.

I only have one rule - please only order ONE DRINK. Don’t be that person and ruin it for others by ordering multiple drinks and using a huge chunk of the gift card for yourself. Karma will get ya if you do!

When you order your one drink, just ask the barista to scan the gift card to see if there’s balance left as I think this will run out quickly.

The gift card QR code is in the image above, so just screenshot and zoom in to scan it at Costa.

🧠 Question: Dynamic pricing

There’s been a lot of backlash from fans at artists (looking at you, Oasis) and ticketing platforms using dynamic pricing - where ticket prices surge based on demand.

It’s said to discourage ticket touting, but I feel it just comes across as greedy.

I’m personally against it for popular events like concert tickets, as you don’t know the price until you finally get through the queue which could take hours. Then the countdown clock puts additional pressure on people to spend more money that they maybe can’t afford.

Dynamic pricing is something we’re used to with flight prices and services like Uber, but it’s just not sitting right with me for event/concert tickets where you’re not seeing the price upfront before queuing. What’s your thoughts on it?

And that’s a wrap!

Woohoo you made it to the end! Are there any deals you’d like to see in next week’s newsletter? Send me a reply as I’d love to hear them!
