Bubble wrap rolls can save you money

It’s never easy to run your own business, especially when it’s during a difficult economic period. Keeping the costs down is vital at the moment, so any opportunity you can find to do so needs to be taken very seriously. If you happen to use a large quantity of packaging supplies, consolidating your provider is a good first step.
Bubble wrap rolls, wrapping paper, carrier bags and postal boxes should all be purchased from the same source, helping you to spend less. And if you have the capacity to buy in bulk, you may find further discounts, too.

Saving money on London Theatre tickets

If you fancy a night out in the West End but don’t fancy paying West End prices, there are some ways of saving money when buying London theatre tickets.

 

Several London shows now hold back a block of cheap seats for sale on the day of performance. You will need to queue but you may be able to bag yourself some bargain seats.

 

You could also try one of the official ticket booths located in Leicester Square, who sell discounted tickets to many of the top shows up to seven days in advance.

 

Whatever you do, make sure you shop around for the best deal on theatre or musical tickets.
