Happy Friday! The weather may be a bit grey and dismal, but there are plenty of January deals around to help lift your mood. Winter calls for hearty, comforting meals, and the good news is you can get a 99p main at Prezzo next week. Plus, if you're looking to save on your grocery bill (who isn't?), our consumer writer has discovered how food waste apps can help. Talking of tasty treats, Pancake Day is just around the corner (17 February) – though I think pancakes should be enjoyed year-round. Our expert shares all the tips and tricks you'll need to make pancakes in your air fryer. If you're after an upgrade for less, there's currently a decent saving on the Ninja dual air fryer. When it comes to pampering, Charlotte Tilbury still has some fantastic skincare savings, and I've spotted a huge discount on Charlotte's magic cream at Wilko. In the makeup world, we've reviewed the best contour sticks for that snatched look, and the best mascaras for long, fluttery lashes. And don't forget anti-ageing day creams and sheet masks can help keep your skin looking its best. If you're in the midst of Dry January, we've rounded up the best non-alcoholic wines and beers that actually taste good. And for those who've chosen to skip Dry January (no judgement here), our experts have selected the best supermarket prosecco from £6, hand-picked by sommeliers. When it comes to 2026 fashion, we're still swooning over Claudia Winkleman's outfits in Traitors – is there a more gripping show right now? And if you're after a cosy outfit, these knitwear savings at Boden are well worth a look. Have a brilliant weekend! |

| 10 best silk bedding sets for a hint of luxury |
As we spend more time indoors during the colder months, creating warm and welcoming interiors becomes all the more important. If you're on the hunt for a bougie bedding set to elevate your boudoir, you're in luck. We've tested a selection of silk bedding sets that promise to bring a considered touch of luxury to your space. Long associated with indulgence, silk bedding is naturally breathable and helps regulate body temperature. It's also prized for its skin-loving properties: the ultra-smooth surface reduces friction, helping to minimise sleep wrinkles and skin irritation. With the right silk set, your bedroom could become a real haven, rather than just a place to sleep. |
