Experimental Reverse Happy Hour
The owners of Slug & Lettuce have announced they will be running a trial whereby they will charge approximately 20p more per pint during peak hours. They say this is to tackle price increases. Peak pricing is nothing new. It is used by other sectors like travel companies charging a premium during busy seasons, plus airlines and taxi services. Bars throughout the UK have been grappling with increased costs, including energy, leading to record numbers of closures.

September Top Tips
With Halloween just around the corner, spooky surprises can sneak up on your spending. Here are our top tips for saving money this Halloween.
Pick up a Pumpkin
Check out pumpkin prices. An extra large pumpkin will set you back as much as £3, a large one is about £1.65 but a standard size is only about 80p. Once it’s on the doorstep will you even notice the difference. Or three standard sized pumpkins might be more effective than one large one.
Don’t Rush
Once your pumpkin is carved it won’t keep for very long before it rots. So hold off flexing your creative muscles until at least the night before to make sure it’s looking fresh on the night.
Creative Inspiration
To the same point, make sure you get your design right the first time. Make it easy on yourself with any number of downloadable templates.
Face Paints
Have a go with old eyeliners or eyeshadows for a splash of spooky colour to save on buying a whole new set that might only get used once. Try out some talc for a spooky skull or ghou;ish ghost look.
