Roll up for this week's money saving deals, as we try to cut the cost of living for families keen to make their budget stretch that little bit further.
If you fancy eating out this week, we've got three deals to choose from, including a completely FREE burger - but you'll have to be quick as the offer is only available today (May 18). All deals are correct on 17 May.
1. Starting with that free burger, you'll need to head to your nearest Burger King to take advantage of this offer. This deal is about as good as it gets for simplicity - get your voucher, walk into a Burger King and get your free Whopper with no other purchase needed. To take part tomorrow, or on Whopper Day as BK are calling it, you'll have to download Burger King's app via Google Play here or App Store here. and get your printable voucher. The Whopper is usually priced at £5.49,s o this is a great deal, and you can also use the offer on Burger King's plant-based take on the burger too. BK has five branches in Newcastle alone, as well as restaurants in Metrocentre, Sunderland and Durham, so you shouldn't have to travel too far to take advantage.

2. If you are vegetarian or vegan - or if you just enjoy meat-free food - Frankie & Benny's is offering 50% off all vegetarian and vegan dishes every day this week. There's no minimum spend or voucher, and the offer is automatically applied to your bill, and is available from opening time until restaurants close. The deal - to celebrate National Vegetarian Week until May 22, could save you a decent amount, as it's available on sides, starters and mains, so you could get £25 worth of food for just £12.50. It can't be used on takeaway or delivery orders, and it's not valid on the kids' menu. Frankie and Benny's has branches in Eldon Square, Newcastle and Metrocentre.
