The Bargain Hunter: January savings on Magnet's cabinets

The January sales are about to begin, with several major stores using the new year to clear 2011 stock at bargain prices. Magnet, the UK's leading kitchen specialist, is one of the retailers getting involved, with 60 per cent off all cabinets in store and online until 7 January. The cabinets in the sale are taken from Magnet's three 2011 kitchen ranges and are available with three years' interest-free credit, subject to status. For more information or to purchase, visit Magnet.co.uk.

Free main course at Carluccio's

The Italian restaurant chain Carluccio's is helping to ease our January blues by offering two main courses for the price of one at restaurants around the country. Starting this Tuesday and continuing until 13 February, diners can tuck into a range of Italian salads, pastas and secondi, with the cheaper of two main courses free every day other than Saturdays. To claim, visit Carluccios.com/offers, download your eVoucher and take it with you the next time you visit.
