UAE: Live the high life but pay less with these money-saving apps
The UAE can be an expensive place to live, especially if you have an active social life or a big family that enjoys days out. Thankfully, there are plenty of apps available to help your dirhams go further, not just for dining and entertainment, but for day-to-day activities too. Here is a selection to get you started. The Entertainer One of the best-known money-saving apps is The Entertainer which offers thousands of deals across dining, attractions, leisure, kids activities, theme parks, spas, salons, fitness centres and hotel stays across Dubai. 'We've seen a clear shift in how our members use The Entertainer when choosing where to spend their income,' says Olivia Hamilton, its UAE Marketing Manager. 'Our members are making decisions recognising that consistent, small-scale savings on everyday expenses like a 2-for-1 on coffee are able to add up to significant long-term value. We see that the app is a powerful financial tool that allows them to experience more of what the city has to offer without compromising their budget.' It has two types of membership: The Dubai product which unlocks access to over 7,000 offers, and currently costs Dh425. It also has a wider GCC product, featuring 20,000 offers for Dh495. Once purchased, it remains valid until the end of 2025. Its F&B deals are popular across the city, including places like Nando's, TGI Friday's, Shake Shack, Cafe Bateel, The Meat Co., Aquaventure World and Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo. The SupperClub Co-Founder and CEO Mehreen Omar says her mission is 'to make premium dining, luxury leisure, and unforgettable experiences more accessible without ever compromising on quality.' The SupperClub members enjoy exclusive discounts for unlimited guests at 5-star hotel restaurants, luxury F&B venues, spas, and beach clubs with no caps on usage, guests, or visits. This means if you want to go to brunch with 20 people everyone gets the discounts. The discount is applied discreetly to your bill, so no codes, no vouchers and no awkward moments. Membership comes in three tiers: There's gold (Dh165 for six months), diamond (Dh275 for 12 months), and platinum (Dh1,495 annually). There's also a WhatsApp concierge service. ' Think of it as having a personal assistant in your pocket. Simply text: "I need a romantic dinner spot for my anniversary" or "Book me the best sushi place for Saturday night," and our concierge handles everything,' says Omar. Careem While it's mostly known as a ride-hailing and food delivery app, Careem can easily be viewed as a discount platform too given its wide range of deals. Its 'Top Offers' section is regularly updated with discounts, and not just for food deliveries. It also has a 'DineOut' section of the app where you can choose from brunches, walk-in offers, buffets and even tasting menus. These often feature 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free' and 'up to 50 per cent off' deals. If you are a regular user, then there's the Careem Plus subscription (Dh19 a month) with offers such as 10 per cent back on rides, free deliveries and savings on DineOut, bike discounts and home services.

New flavour of iconic chocolate biscuit is landing in all Tesco stores TODAY – but you'll have to be speedy
A NEW flavour of a beloved snack is now available for a limited time only. Australia's popular Tim Tam biscuits have released a new flavour for a limited run - available while stocks last. 3 The treat from Down Under only reached UK stores last year - and Brits have been obsessed since. Its new sweet and salty flavour promises to satisfy your cravings, whether you have a sweet tooth or you're looking for a salty kick. The innovative flavour combines their iconic chocolate layers, now with a salted cracker between them. A description for the product reads: "Fancy something sweet but also in the mood for something savoury? Well, Tim Tam Sweet & Salty is here to satisfy both of your cravings in one irresistible bite!" With a twist on the classic chocolate biscuit, it now features a salted cracker nestled between the chocolatey layers. The idea for the snack was originally just an April Fool's Day idea. But consumers loved it so much the company decided to make it a reality. The new flavour launched in the UK exclusively at Tesco today. A pack of nine biscuits costs just £2.50. Shoppers will have to be quick if they want to try out the innovative snack, as it is only available while stocks last. Can £24.99 Aldi hot chocolate maker lick bestselling Hot Chocolat Velvetiser Talyah Falabella, Tim Tam International Marketing Manager said: 'Tim Tam has been Australia's favourite chocolatey biscuit for over 60 years, and we're excited to bring this new, even more irresistible flavour combination to the UK. "This biscuit was originally inspired by an April Fools' prank on social that went viral. "The demand from consumers to make this into a real product was so high we just had to make it a reality. "Tim Tam Sweet & Salty provides the ultimate indulgence for sweet and salty lovers to enjoy by combining two favourite flavours together to create one irresistible biscuit.' Earlier this year, the UK celebrated Tim Tam Day alongside Australia for the first time on February 16. Its classic flavour is similar to Britain's Penguin biscuits, featuring two chocolate biscuits sandwiched together with a smooth chocolate cream, all wrapped in a thick layer of chocolate. The snack is also available in a dark, or chewy caramel flavour. Over the years, they've become a household staple in Australia, with fans calling them the ultimate tea-time treat. It's not the first time UK shoppers have gone wild for Australian snacks they spotted on shelves. Shoppers have been going wild for a Cadbury selection box full of Australian chocolate favourites usually unavailable in the UK. They include Dairy Milk white chocolate Freddos, Scorched Peanut Bars, Snickers Butterscotch, Caramilk Twirls and regular Dairy Milk milk chocolate bars. Last year, others yelled "it's a party in my mouth" as B&M rolled out a new M&M flavour normally only seen in the land down under. The retailer is stocking a Mocha Mudcake version of the classic snack after launching it down under in July last year. Now the quirky flavour has landed in B&M, with shoppers keen to snap it up. 3
