Yahoo Finance £25 Paris tickets and free chocolate: this week's deals and discounts
There’s a great bunch of money-saving deals and discounts for you to grab this week, including £25 tickets to Paris and free chocolate.
But remember, a bargain is only a good deal if you were planning to splash out on it anyway.
£25 train ride to Paris
You can get the train to Paris, Brussels, Lille or Calais for just £25 if you book by 19 November for journeys between 29 November and 28 March 2018. Eurostar also has £25 tickets for the return journey too.
There needs to be four of you booking to get the bargain; if there’s three tickets start at £27, and from £28 if there’s just two of you.
The low prices are only available on unpopular train times but when we checked, there were still opportunities to get away for a cheap trip. Find the full details here.

Until next Sunday, 12 November, TopCashback is offering all members (both new and existing) a free Hotel Chocolat Tasting Club Box, worth £9.95, after cashback.

Tip of the Week
Ahead of Black Friday on 24 November, when many retailers cut prices to clear stock ahead of Christmas, sign up to newsletters advises HotUKDeals.
That should then allow you to shop online as early as possible so you don’t miss out on any potential bargains.
Some members of the money-saving website suggest taking out a 30-day Amazon Prime trial to get access to their early discounts – but it’s essential to remember to cancel it to avoid being lumped with a £79 annual fee.
