1. £50 cashback for opening a TSB account

Though TSB announced a raft of branch closures recently I think this is a good offer for people as you don't need to switch to get it. That means you can just treat it as an extra bank account. To get it go via cashback site Quidco and apply for either a Classic account, or a Classic Plus account. The latter will also earn you 3% interest each month on balances of up to £1,500.

2. LAST CHANCE - £15 TopCashback bonus

If you've never used TopCashback then this is your last chance to sign up and get an increased new member bonus of £15 before it drops back to £10 next week. You'll need to spend £10 to get the bonus,

3. £10 for a litre of Bailey's

If you missed this offer last week at Morrisons, it's now at Tesco - but only for Clubcard members - until Monday.

4. New BT Sport month pass now available

For the first time non BT or Sky customers can get access to BT Sport without signing up to a long contract. It costs £25 a month and lasts 30 days - though you'll need to cancel it if you don't want it to be an ongoing subscription.

5. LAST CHANCE - 5 Odeon tickets for £20

If you're planning on a cinema trip this weekend then it's worth grabbing this offer before it ends on Friday. You can get two tickets for £10 or five for £20, though there's a 75p booking fee on top of each one. Look out for a code that'll bring the price down too. You have to use the tickets by 17th December and they're not valid on Frozen 2 and a few other films.

6. Apple iPhones at 0% for 24 months

If you're after a new iPhone then the cheapest way to get it is usually to buy the phone outright rather than get it via your network as part of your contract. However that's a lot of money to have available. Fortunately, Apple has just launched an offer where you can spread the payment out over two years with 0% interest.

7. Extra 10% off the big London theatre sale

The Get into London Theatre sale opens to everyone on Friday (presale is still live for Mastercard users) and it's worth a look as tickets for big shows start from £10. But you can also stack this with a 10% off code on Theatre Tokens.

8. Free Brewdog beer on Election Day

If you take a selfie at the polling station and show it in a Brewdog pub you'll get a free pint. Today only.
