This post will be of no value to those of you who only dine out at The Ivy because you couldn't get a table at La Gavroche. Neither will it interest those of you who only lower yourselves to shop in John Lewis because you live too far from Harrod's (unless you simply want to find out how 'the other half lives' of course!). However it might help those of you who're on a low income (like me) or who're simply skinflints (definitely like me!)
The best bargain I've noticed recently is that Morrison's Cafés have extended the 'Eat Out to Help Out' offer to run all week. (i.e. you get half-price food and drink courtesy of Rushi Sunak from Monday to Wednesday and then Morrison's have their own half-price promotion running through from Thursday to Sunday). Morrison's regular promotions are still running as well, so the deal where you can normally get a main meal and a drink for £5.50 after 3pm has now become 'a main meal and a drink for just £2.75 after 3pm' . Further, their 'kids eat free after 3pm' deal has been switched to their school holiday promotion, whereby kids get a free meal and a drink when an adult buys a full meal at any time of day. So at the moment an adult and a child can each get a meal and a drink for just £2.75 in total after 3pm (and for only a little more than that earlier on). I've eaten in Morrison's three times this week!
(Menu here but remember to halve the prices shown though:

The next bargain on my list is to be found in B&M, where they've reduced their Goodmans Sports Bluetooth Earphones down to a fiver (from their original price of £12, via an intermediate price of £7). I've bought a pair and found them to be of surprisingly good quality!

(Available in red, blue and black)
The reason I was shopping in B&M though was because I was looking for dimmable R50 halogen spotlight bulbs, which are shown on their website but were out of stock in the three B&M stores I've visited recently. However I've since discovered that Poundstretcher seems to have bought up all Homebase's old stock of lightbulbs, which they're selling off at very low prices. (e.g. I got a pack of 4 of the bulbs I wanted for just £2.99 but there are lots of other types available too).
So what bargains have you all found recently then?
