Saving money with the tastecard Super Saver challenge
*This post is in conjunction with tastecard, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Over the next few months, I will be participating in tastecard’s Super Saver challenge, where we have been tasked to try and save as much as possible using the tastecard.
tastecard – save money on more than just dining out
tastecard is more than just a card to save money on dining out. You can save money on all your favourite things in one card, including attractions, days out, pizza delivery, cinema tickets and more.
On average, you can save:
- £23 every time you dine out
- £24 per pizza delivery order
- £1.20 per coffee
Here are just some of the offers you can get with tastecard
Restaurants/Coffee Shops/Pizza Delivery chains:
- Pizza Hut: you can get 2 for 1 on starters, mains and desserts
- Prezzo: Offers 2 for 1 on starters, mains and desserts
- Zizzi: Enjoy 2 for 1 on starters, mains and desserts
- Bella Italia: Offers 2 for 1 on starters, mains and desserts
- Caffè Nero: Offers 25% off barista-made drinks 7 days a week
- Domino’s, Pizza Hut Delivery, and Papa Johns offer 50% off pizza when you spend £30 or more, 7 days a week
Activities:
- iFLY Indoor Skydiving
- SEA LIFE
- Alton Towers
- Virgin Experience Days
I don’t know about you, but tastecard has the potential to save me lots of £££s. We can save money using some of the Kingston restaurants offers at places like Zizzi, Carluccios and more. I am sure the boys will enjoy putting these discounts to good use – they love nothing more than eating out.
With half-term coming up and the summer holidays just around the corner, being able to save money easily with tastecard is really handy. It can get expensive when planning days out or going for meals – especially now that the boys are getting older and E no longer has the Kid’s menu.
School holiday fun
We are lucky to have many great places to visit and eat out locally. Not only are we a short drive from Chessington and Thorpe Park (you all know we love theme parks!), but we have Hampton Court Palace nearby. We’re also a short train ride into London, where we can visit major attractions such as SEA LIFE, trampoline parks, and bowling alleys.
I have covered many activities on the blog before for free and best days out for kids, and we do use these offers ourselves to help keep the costs down, especially with the current price rises and the cost of living.
We also look for offers for dining out so we can enjoy meals out too.

Try tastecard for 60 days for just £1
Having the tastecard is a great benefit. As you can see, we have the potential to save well over £300 on just some of the activities I have listed above, quickly making back the annual cost of the tastecard. I can’t wait to get saving, and you can too!
If you’d also like to save money this half term or over the summer holidays, try the tastecard on a 60-day trial for just £1. You can cancel at any time, but should you choose to continue, the membership will renew at £39.99 annually. I think the annual membership is well worth it.
