Calling all you ladies who lunch !
To celebrate the launch of their new afternoon tea menu the fab folks at BANG are offering their gorgeous new treat for half price.
This means that you and a friend can sample a delicious selection of bite sized cakes, scones and sandwiches along with a glass of bubbly for just €25 (normally €50).
For the truly mean amongst you this also means you can take your friend, tell them it’s ‘your treat’ and get them to return the favour next time round …. but only if you’re truly mean.
To avail of this offer visit the Bang website.
Being the sort of crafty folks we are we do have a bit of a thing for nice stationery here at SavvyShopper Towers. Whilst dreamily browsing through the luxury pages of Smythson we found these illustrated correspondence cards by none other than Holly Fulton.
Obviously £25 ( reduced from £50 ) is a bit much for twelve cards but when all is said and done, a deal is still a deal and as such we see no good reason why the officially appointed stationers to Her Majesty the Queen shouldn’t get a mention on TheSavvyShopper !
Yes, it’s a bit more pricey than Easons but we think the cards are beautiful and as such we urge you to take a closer peek here .

On the last Sunday of every month the Dublin Flea Market comes to town and The Savvy Shopper was there to sample the atmosphere and the shopping!
Where is it? The Coop, Newmarket, Dublin 8.
What can I buy? A great selection of mostly vintage dresses, skirts and cardigans. There was also lots of retro jewelry and accessories
Who goes? The dublin alternative set – think kooky head bands,maxi dresses and a little rockabilly.
Save or splurge? Prices can vary hugely from stall to stall but if your not afraid to haggle you could bag yourself a real gem!
Quick trip or long afternoon? Even though the market is quite small (it’s how Brick Lane started sweetie!) you could easily spend a couple of hours there. They had some great live bands yesterday and teamed with the weather and some great outdoor seating it made for a very relaxing and chilled out atmosphere.
Watch out for Flea TV the monthly documentary on the market which can be viewed online.
