How to save money on a night out

Ruth Jackson gives advice on how to dine out on the cheap, and offers six more tips to save you money.

Save money on dinner out by joining a loyalty scheme. Join the Gourmet Society or the MidWeek Dining Club and save as much as 50% off your restaurant bill, says Which? Money. Annual membership costs £43.50 and £19.99 respectively and can be used at over 1,000 restaurants. Alternatively, look out for loyalty schemes at chain restaurants; these are often free to join and come with discounts.
