7 ways to save money on a night out
club
Going out with your friends is a fun and fantastic way to let your hair down after the demands of the working week, dance the night away and perhaps even meet that special someone (if you’re lucky).

The only problem is it can be a costly affair, especially in big cities.

antiques
Have you got a few bits around the house that you think might be valuable, but you’re not sure?

You might have inherited an item or simply found it lurking in the attic after many years.

It’s kind of old, kind of nice, but you don’t really want to keep it.

Is it worth anything?
