THIS WEEK'S TOP DEALS

I only share deals and special offers on the blog which I think are really good value. Click the titles or links for more information.

I'll also share a quick update on Instagram on Saturday morning.

1. TopCashback: £1.50 off Easter choc

A nice little saving on Easter eggs from TopCashback. Here's more.

2. BT TV: Netflix, NOW and Freeview recorder for £6 a month

This could be a massive saving for anyone looking to ditch Sky or Virgin. The recording box itself is worth it at this price, plus you'll get NOW Entertainment and Netflix Basic. But you do need to be a new or existing BT Broadband customer and the contract is two years. Here's more.

3. Amex: Boosted referral offers

Sign up for a new American Express credit card via a referral link and you'll get an increased bonus until June. My picks are the Gold Preferred Reward (get £280 in Nectar points) and Platinum (potential £280 profit). Here's more.

4. Currys: £5 voucher for junk

Take any old electronics to Currys and you'll get a £5 off £25 voucher to spend before the end of April. Since Curry's is price matching Amazon's latest sale you could use this for an extra discount of Fire TV sticks or Echo speakers. More here.

5. Wine: 25% off at Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's

The decent buy six save 25% deal is back at the major supermarkets. Here's more.

6. Theatre: 2-4-1 in April

The Love your Local Theatre promo is back for April. More here .

7. Odeon: Win a ticket for Monday night

I've got another spare code (via my O2 Priority account) that'll give you a free ticket to an Odeon this Monday. If you'd like to be in with a chance of winning it, follow my Instagram account and share any of my posts to your stories (make sure you tag @andyclevercash). Ends at midnight Saturday 9 April.
