Deals of the week – grab ‘em while you can

In the mood for a good deal (who isn’t)? Well, you’re in the right place. We’ve got dough balls, theatre tickets and even lapel pins up for grabs at prices that will make your wallet smile. 

Read on and bag the best deals, before they vanish as quickly as a slice of pizza!  

Free dough balls at Pizza Express 

Dripping in garlic, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside… who can resist Pizza Express’s legendary dough balls.  Join the PizzaExpress Club (it’s free), and you’ll get these tasty treats on the house. Plus, get free rewards and Pizza Stamps to unlock even more goodies on your visits.  

Simply download the PizzaExpress Club app 

Fun fact: Pizza Express was born when Peter Boizot returned to London after a trip to Italy and was appalled by the lack of quality pizza in his hometown? So, in 1965, he imported the country’s first real Italian pizza oven and an Italian chef and opened the first Pizza Express restaurant in Soho.  

Discounts at Mr Lapel 

Lapel pins are the perfect accessory to express yourself or celebrate a special occasion.   

They’ve been around since the 16th century, when fresh flowers were placed in a small hole in the lapel of men’s suits. By the 19th century, jewelled pins had replaced flowers in the ‘boutonniere’ or ‘buttonhole’ on suits.  

Now, they’re a fantastic stocking filler and there’s a great sale on at Mr Lapel with up to two-thirds off selected items. Enter the code EXIT at the checkout for 20% off your first order.  

Top London theatre deals from £10 

Theatre buffs, this one’s for you. Get tickets to hit shows like Aladdin, Back to the Future: The Musical and 101 Dalmatians, from just £10. Book via the Official London Theatre website when tickets go live on 26 November.  

But be warned, if you’re afraid of ghosts, you might want to avoid the Peacock Theatre. Apparently, it’s haunted by two dolphins kept in tanks under the stage in the 1970s, ready to star in a variety show. But they died of neglect and it’s said their ghosts still haunt the venue today.  

Deals galore at Poundland 

Christmas shopping simply wouldn’t be complete without stocking up at Poundland. And there are some fantastic offers up for grabs.  

Get three advent calendars for the price of two at Poundland online. Mix & match two Christmas sweet tubes for just £2.50 and treat your home to some new festive decorations from as little as 50p!  

Now for an impressive Poundland stat. In 2018, the budget retailer became famous for the bling ring after launching a temporary £1 engagement ring. Even Piers Morgan gave it a try proposing to Suzannah Reid live on Good Morning Britain 

Major sale at the Beauty Crop  

The Beauty Crop’s story is an inspiring one. Fed up with the toll her stressful lifestyle was having on her skin and wellbeing, its founder, Ning Cheah, began researching better skincare formulations and spotted a gap for clean, high-performance cosmetics. She then walked away from the corporate grind, where she was constantly being overlooked for promotion in favour of men in suits, and built her own colour cosmetics brand.  

You can enjoy more than 70% off selected Beauty Crop products, including a wide range of cosmetic gift sets that would make fabulous Christmas presents without breaking the bank.  

So, what are you waiting for? Get in fast before these deals are history!
