Halfords offers trade in on old bikes
Need a new bike, but want to sell your old one? Or need to simply just get rid of your old bike while getting a new one? Want to donate your bike to a good cause?
Well Halfords can probably help. They’ve teamed up with Olympic champion Victoria Pendleton to launch a national bike trade-in event for charity campaign.
Customers can donate unwanted bikes at any of Halfords’ 460 stores between Thursday, 16 and Monday, 20 April to receive 10% off a new bike – or simply donate a bike that is no longer needed. Bikes are then recycled and donated to communities in Africa to provide much needed transport.

Aldi now the UK’s sixth-largest supermarket chain
Aldi is now bigger than Waitrose to become the UK’s sixth-largest supermarket chain by market share.
The German chain increased sales by 16.8% in the 12 weeks to 29 March, according to Kantar Worldpanel (consumer panel research firm). That figure took Aldi’s share of the market up to 5.3%, compared with 5.1% for Waitrose.
Aldi is celebrating its 25th anniversary in the UK and has enjoyed rapid sales growth due to the recession, high-quality products and fab special buys (IMHO).
Aldi has confirmed plans to quadruple the number of its stores in London, with nine new outlets including a second trial of a convenience-style outlet in Tooting. The group has 560 stores in Britain and wants 1,000 by 2022.
Some commentators believe discounters could in future control as much as 20% of the UK market. …

DIY divorce – saving money at a tough time
An odd post for a bargain hunter you may think, but I have two friends who have paid out a lot while getting divorced, and so am interested in finding advice for another two who are going through divorces now ;-(.
From the two recently divorced friends one paid £40,000 in solicitor’s fees to get her ex out of her house. The other got £4,000 out of a possible £30,000 because her legal costs took up the rest.
I got hold of a sort of bible I would say for all those divorcing, whether they DIY or not – DIY Divorce and Separation, an expert guide to representing yourself. It demystifies the legal process and provides the parties involved with the know-how and confidence to handle a divorce themselves or understand what your barrister …
