If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

The Cake & Bake Show FREE tickets
For Olympia London, 27 November to 1 December. Normally £14 to £16 per ticket
ExpiredIf you're a flan of baking and want to meet some celebrity bakers such as Matty Edgell, Cherish Finden and Molly Robbins, we’ve whisked up a treat for you… totally free one-day tickets to The Cake & Bake Show at Olympia London.
The show runs from Wednesday 27 November until Sunday 1 December, and this is the breakdown of free tickets available each day (15,000 in total)...
- Wednesday 27 November – 5,000
- Thursday 28 November – 5,000
- Friday 29 November – 3,000
- Saturday 30 November – 1,000 SOLD OUT
- Sunday 1 December – 1,000 SOLD OUT
Getting the free tickets is a piece of cake
Enter the code CAB24MSE online at The Cake & Bake Show – you’ll knead to select the day you want to go and you can get up to two adult tickets per household. If going alone, you can just grab one ticket.
Child tickets for ages 15 and under are also totally free (one child per ticket) and you'll need to select them when you book online. Child tickets won't count towards the 15,000 tickets allocated.
If at any point you're asked to enter your card details, go back and enter the code again – there is nothing to pay for these tickets.
The offer ends at 11.59pm on Tuesday 10 September, or when all 15,000 tickets have scone – so go quick as you don't want to be left in tiers.
When will the tickets arrive? Your tickets will be emailed to you up to five days after booking and you can print them out and show them at the door on the day, or show them on your phone.
How much are they normally? Adult tickets usually cost £14 to £16 each plus a £1.70 transaction fee online or £20 to £22 on the door, so you can save a decent amount of dough with this freebie.
What is The Cake & Bake Show?
The show is open from 10am to 5pm and features celebrity bakers, including Great British Bake Off 2023 winner Matty Edgell, Bake Off: The Professionals judge Cherish Finden, and Molly Robbins from the Channel 4 programme Extreme Cake Makers. There will be live demonstrations, cake displays and stalls. You also get access to the Ideal Home Show Christmas, which is on in the same venue.

268 spring bulbs for £15 delivered
12,000 available. Excludes Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland
ExpiredGo via this MSE Blagged Thompson & Morgan link* to get 268 spring bulbs for £14.99 delivered (£8 for the bulbs, plus £6.99 delivery). If the link doesn't automatically reduce the bundle to £8, enter the code TM_TAW304W in the 'promotion key code' box at the checkout.
The offer ends at 11.59pm on Monday 9 September, or when all 12,000 bundles have gone, whichever's sooner. This deal is limited to one bundle per person – if you buy more than one, you'll pay full price for the second. Each bundle will contain:
- 16 Tulip ‘Everlasting’ bulbs
- 12 Allium ’Graceful Beauty’ bulbs
- 15 Allium sphaerocephalon bulbs
- 15 Allium ‘moly’ bulbs
- 10 Narcissus ‘tete a tete’ bulbs
- 10 Crocus ‘Ruby Giant’ bulbs
- 5 Leucojum aestivum (Summer Snowflake) bulbs
- 25 Daffodil Minnow bulbs
- 50 Puschkinia bulbs
- 85 Muscari armeniacum bulbs
- 25 Ipheion bulbs
Thompson & Morgan told us it values the contents at about £82, including delivery. We checked elsewhere online and found similar spring bulbs for around £62 excluding delivery, so we reckon 268 bulbs for £15 is a decent deal. It can also be worth checking discount stores such as Home Bargains and B&M as they often have offers, which could mean they're cheaper.
Early autumn is the best time to plant these spring bulbs, so plant as soon as they arrive in patio pots, borders or containers. Thompson & Morgan told us growing instructions will be included too.
Thompson & Morgan says the bundle should be dispatched within 14 to 21 days. Delivery's available to most places in Great Britain, though you can't get it if you live in any of these postcodes: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3. Thompson & Morgan doesn't deliver to Northern Ireland.
Thinking about buying some new plant pots? You could get £5 off a £30 spend at B&Q.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.

Received car finance mis-selling compensation out of the blue? It DOESN'T stop you complaining about the latest scandal
