If you've decided to exercise a bit of restraint during Lent you could do worse than to head over to Food Doctor, where craving-satisfying nibbles can be found at wallet-friendly prices. Check out the full range of bargain books and snacks at ind.pn/FoodDoc

... or tasty deals at Thorntons

If Lent's not for you, there's still no reason not to take advantage of the pre-Easter sales.

Our tip is to try the Chocolate Sharing Hamper, down from £26.87 to £17.50 and found at ind.pn/ChocOffer.

Spring into fashion...

Easter isn't the only bit of fun heading our way. With January and February behind us, it's time to get working on that spring wardrobe.
