Know anyone who loves Costa?
Costa Coffee fans are in for a treat this week, as the firm is giving away a free hot drink with every drink purchased.
To celebrate lockdown restrictions easing once again, Costa is doing ‘buy one get one free’ on drinks.
From Monday March 29th until Thursday April 1st you’ll be able to grab a free drink of your choice with every purchase at any participating Costa Coffee store or drive-thru.
All you need to do to claim your free coffee is walk down to any of the 9,000+ Costa Express coffee bars across the country, buy a drink, and you’ll get 300 points on the Costa app.

This is the equivalent of £3, which you can then use to treat someone else to a coffee or other hot drink – alternatively you could use the 300 points to buy any food item to the value of £3.
The deal is open to any registered Costa Coffee mobile app user, all you have to do is scan the app when buying your first drink.
A Costa Coffee Express spokesperson said: “As lockdown restrictions begin to lift, it’s perfect timing to catch-up with friends outside over coffee.
“Our Costa Express machines serve the same fresh signature Mocha Italia coffee beans and fresh semi-skimmed milk you would expect in our Costa Coffee stores, so the quality of your experience is never compromised.”

Get down to your local Aldi immediately
Aldi has knocked it out of the park this week with the launch of their ‘churros with chocolate’ flavoured gin.
Yep, it’s the churros and gin combo you never knew you needed.
Now, there’s no disputing the fact that the combination of churros and melted chocolate is definitely one of the more elite desserts out there – but have you ever envisioned chocolate churros whipped up into an alcoholic treat?

Probably not – but, as always, Aldi is on hand to make your chocolatey-boozy dreams come true.
The Churros with Chocolate Gin Liqueur, made by The Infusionist and stocked by Aldi, was brought to the attention of the internet by the food blogging Instagram account, Kevs Snack Reviews.
Of course, Instagram users were very impressed by the new boozy offering, with one writing: “Need to get it for the next cocktail night,” and another tagging their friend while noting: “We need to get our hands on this one.”

Admittedly, this gin may be a little bit sweet for some, but picture it in a gin espresso martini or as a twist on a pornstar martini.
I’ve convinced you, haven’t I?
Priced at £7.99 the chocolate churros gin liqueur is available both online and in stores, joining the likes of Lemon Drizzle Cake gin liqueur, Raspberry Jam Donut gin liqueur, and Salted Caramel Cupcake gin liqueur.
While the hot weather might have temporarily disappeared another heatwave has been forecast for August so we should be seeing the return of the sun shortly.
And what better to relax in while the sun beams than a hot tub?
Well, Morrisons is currently selling a Lay-Z Spa hot tub for just £275 – and this is the absolute cheapest price you’ll find right now.

Several shoppers have clocked the special deal at their local branches, so it’s worth giving your local a ring to see if they’ve got any in – you’ll have to buy it in-store.
The eagle-eyed members of the Extreme Coupling and Bargains UK Facebook group first spotted the bargains, although availability will depend on your local store.
