💡 Top Tips for Saving Extra Cash This Half Term:

1. Download the Apps Ahead of Time: Many of these deals (like Burger King, Toby Carvery, and TGI Fridays) require an app download or loyalty code. Do it before you leave the house to avoid sketchy restaurant Wi-Fi!

2. Check the T&Cs: Some deals are weekday-only, while others require one adult meal per child.

3. Call Ahead: Franchise locations (especially for brands like Franco Manca or Burger King) can sometimes opt-out of national promotions. It never hurts to double-check with your local branch!
