Single and struggling to save? How you can bank £2,400 a year - if you give up dating!
Single people could be spending up to £2,400 a year on dating, according to research from VoucherCodes. More than two in five spend as much as £100 on every date, the survey found. This means individuals who go on two dates a month are paying £2,400 a year, the equivalent of a second-hand car or a two-week holiday abroad. Savvy-minded savers could also be putting a large chunk of this money in their pension pot or stocks and shares individual savings account (Isa) to grow money through compounding. Psychologist and intimacy coach Dr Lori Beth Bisbey says: 'Modern dating is like playing the lottery with your wallet – you're swiping, hoping for a spark, but burning through cash on connections that can go nowhere. 'Ask yourself: would you pay £100 to meet a stranger with no guarantee of chemistry? Get clear on what you're looking for and don't be afraid to walk away if a match doesn't meet your standards – financially or emotionally.' She says you should call to talk to a potential date for ten minutes prior to meeting to spot red flags and judge if you want to spend your money and time on them.

Major retailer offering more than £80 off pizza oven that will be perfect for garden parties
A MAJOR retailer currently has a huge deal on a pizza oven that would be perfect for summer garden parties. The Range is selling the Westinghouse 12 Inch Pizza Oven for £145, but it's usually on sale for £229 - meaning shoppers can get a massive £80 off. 1 The electric pizza oven can be used both indoors and outdoors and has a 12-inch pizza stone. A description on The Range's website says the oven can make "homemade authentic pizzas at home in minutes". As the oven is electric, you won't need anything extra - just the pizza itself. "All you need to do is plug it in, pre-heat, and your pizza oven is ready to go," it says. The oven is advertised as easy to clean as it will burn any food residue that's been left over while it's pre-heating. It is a whopping £155 cheaper than the similar Ninja version, while is selling for £299.99. However the Ninja Artisan Electric Outdoor Pizza Oven & Air Fryer also has air fryer functions, meaning you could cook things like chicken breasts and chips inside too. Ninja says the oven can cook pizzas in three minutes or less, with settings including Artisan, Thin Crust, New York and Pan. Remember, it's always worth shopping around for deals to make sure you get the best price. For example, The Range's website has pizza ovens at a variety of price points - but you can also check at other shops too. If you wanted a cheaper option, The Range sells the Pizza Oven Charcoal Grilling for £89.99 (down from £99.99). The portable wood-fired oven is said to be "perfect for pizzas, roasts, baking and searing". Unlike the electric pizza oven, you would need a natural firelighter and either kiln-dried hardwood or pizza oven pellets. The Range says the oven can "cook anything in less than five minutes" as it heats up to 500C. How to save money on pizza TAKEAWAY pizzas taste great but they can hit you hard on your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on pizza: Cashback websites - TopCashback and Quidco will pay you to order your pizza through them. They're paid by retailers for every click that comes to their website from the cashback site, which eventually trickles down to you. So you'll get cashback on orders placed through them. Discount codes - Check sites like VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order. Make you own topping - One savvy customer noticed that Domino's charges up to 70p MORE for pizzas on its menu compared to ordering the same one through the "create your own" option. It's worth trying out to see if it makes a difference before you place your next order. Buy it from the shops - It might not taste exactly the same but you'll save the most money by picking up your favourite pizza from your local supermarket. Some Asda stores sell freshly made ones from the pizza counter where prices start at £2. If you're looking for a pizza oven that can also be used as a BBQ (and you're willing to splash out more), you could try the Outdoor Pizza Oven and Cover by KuKoo. It comes in at £224.99 but is multi-purpose so you can use it for your BBQ and smoking needs too. The product description says it's great for baking bread, barbecuing meat and fish, and also works as a smoker for things like pulled pork joints. How to compare prices to get the best deal JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
