CheapEats.ie - a blog about food and value

2000th post! Win a €50 M&S voucher

It seems like only yesterday when Jean came up with the idea for a food blog, and asked me to join her in this Cheapeats endeavour. “What’s a blog?” I asked.

Almost three years later, I think I’ve figured it out. Two thousands posts of shocking Tesco exposes, cheap recipe ideas, restaurant and supermarket bargains, product reviews, tipping guides, advice for the end of the world, your restaurant recommendations, customer service catastrophes, all the latest food news and, of course, amazing giveaways.

Here’s another one. The good folk at M&S have generously provided us with two €50 vouchers to give away to two Cheapeats readers.

A big thanks…

To everyone who has supported us in Cheapeats over the past three years: friends and family, advertisers, journalists. Most importantly, our readers and commenters, many of whom we’ve come to know – you make us laugh, cry, and say “ooh” a lot. Thank you.

Thanks to Marks and Spencer for generously sponsoring this giveaway.

To Win

Fancy €50 to spend at M&S? To be in with a chance of winning one of two vocuhers, just pop a comment in the box below and let us know what you think of Cheapeats.ie. Two winners will be drawn at random.

Halloween at M&S

Staying in? Heading out? This Halloween, M&S has plenty of Halloween horrors to choose from, including table crackers for €7, a grown-up witch costume for €27, googley-eyed monster treat bags for €4, and best of all, a pumpkin pinata for €16. Head on over to M&S and see what’s there.
