And finally, something local! A review of the new carvery available at The Blue Anchor on Market Street from Jackie Hall:

…was most impressed. Tables decorated in blue and white cloths, smart staff uniforms, well presented carvery bar with Chef carving.

Beef, gammon and turkey, Yorkshire pudding and stuffing,  freshly cooked  veg and gravy and sauces, tasty and hot. All for £4.50 with a glass of wine for £2.50 or a bottle for £7.50. Excellent value!

Midweek Money Savers: 21st July

Just the one item in this weeks edition of Midweek Money Savers for you and it’s for DVD rentals.

A few years ago we used to go to the video rental shop on the corner of Market Street & Lee Road …where Booze Busters is now. It was okay but the popular films were always out and it was always a bit of a panic to get the film back in time before you had to pay for another night’s rental! There is still that little film rental shop opposite Hoose Court and I think there’s one in West Kirby along Banks Road.

lovefilmWe’ve recently started using LoveFilm and we’re finding it very easy to use. It’s an online service; you make a list of films you’d like to see and they send you them in the post, one at a time. When you’ve watched the film you simply use the special pre-paid envelope they send you and drop the DVD back in the local postbox. You can keep the DVD out for as long as you want too. There’s a choice of subscriptions but we’re on the cheapest one :)

There’s a huge choice of DVD films, TV shows and video games to choose from. I’ve recently watched the Pixar film Up which was absolutely brilliant and could easily bring more than a tear to your eyes. And having just looked, they’ve even got that old ITV show Watching (filmed in Meols) that we discussed a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway, for more information click here.

Midweek Money Savers: 14th July

meterNot the most exciting of topics for this weeks Midweek Money Savers …utility bills. Unfortunately, they’re certainly not the cheapest of bills either!

If you’ve never changed energy providers then you’ll be in a strong position to save a fair bit. We swapped a few years ago and then left it at that until recently. Then I moved with from a traditional nPower account to their current online-only account and saved myself around £250/year.

It’s easy enough to compare prices, just visit a comparison site such as uswitch or visit energy providers directly such as npower or Scottish Power. Well worth spending 30 mins to see how much you can save I’d say.

I switched to O2 broadband before Christmas, primarily because they offer cheaper prices for O2 mobile phone users (both PAYG and contract). They now have a new deal incorporating home phones too. O2 have their own equipment in the local Hoylake telephone exchange so you might find that they offer faster speeds as well.

We don’t have a subscription TV package, so presumably that’s why Sky keeping sending us their latest offers. I think their current deal for about £20 includes Sky+, free setup, home phone and internet – more details here.

BT Broadband customers can currently get Sky Sports 1 or 2 for £6.99/month.

tillA few people have asked where the little posts about shopping offers have gone. I published them for a while on a Monday but stopped because I found it awkward to (typically) compile the information on a Sunday evening.

But, if at first you get fed up you can try something different! So I’ll publish a feature called Midweek Money Savers instead and we’ll see how we go :)

Merseyrail Christmas Offer

train manor road

Merseyrail are offering the £1 flat return fare on Thursday evenings from this week and it is available on Northern and Wirral Lines for the next six weeks. I paid £3.30 for a return to Liverpool a couple of weeks ago so it’s a decent saving. During December you can also travel for £1 every Sunday too.

This annual Christmas offer is apparently now in its 15th year. I’ve emailed Mersey Tunnels and Mersey Ferries to see if they’ll be offering cheaper fares in the run up to Christmas. [UPDATE]: Mersey Ferries aren’t offering any deals.
