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. Barbie & Oppenheimer: Save on cinema tickets

Two huge releases at the cinema this weekend, with pretty much every screen taken up by Margo Robbie's take on the classic toy and Christopher Nolan's A-bomb drama (and not forgetting the latest Mission Impossible too). Fortunately I've compiled an epic list of ways to save money on tickets. Here's more.


2. Amazon: £5 off £15 shop

Amazon is offering selected customers £5 off a £15 shop until 30 July. Get more info and find out if you’re eligible in our Amazon deals page. Here's more.


3. Boots: 20% off beauty today only

A flash sale today will get you decent discounts on big name beauty and fragrance - don't forget to check prices elsewhere first though. Here's more.


4. TodayTix: £10 off theatre tickets

Save £10 when you book a show through the TodayTix app using a code. You’ll need to act fast as the deal runs out on 23 July. Here's more.


5. Theme parks: Adults go free

8. Savings: 4.51% easy access

Inflation fell to 7.9%, which could mean interest rates don't increase as much as expected - but right now we're still seeing improvements.


You can now get 4.51% for an easy-access account, 5% on a 180-day notice tracker and 6.15% for a 1-year fix. Here's more.


10. ISAs: 5.9% 2 yr fix
