Surviving A Self Catering Holiday In Yorkshire With Teenagers! PART 3 - FREE DAYS OUT

TESCO CLUBCARD DEALS
Again with a family of 6, days out can be really expensive so, to us, the Tesco Clubcard Deals are a godsend.We have used them for 5 years now.
It works on a points system. Points can be gained via several outlets. We save all our vouchers that we receive throughout the year then exchange them for participating organisations in the area that we are holidaying in.
This year we found 3 such places and had 2 fantastic FREE days out.




Our first day out was at LIGHTWATER VALLEY THEME PARK in Ripon.



A great day out for teenagers. The clubcard vouchers saved us £108! What a bargain!



And what was even better was that the sun also shone!! Take a look at their website for more park details.








Our other FREE day out thanks to TESCO was in the characteristic town of York.



From Maple Cottage it took us about 50 minutes to York. We parked in the Park And Ride. Great value. Free to park then only a bus charge for adults and the kids travelled free.



On arriving in the city center we immediately boarded the CITYSIGHTSEEING bus and handed over our TESCO vouchers. We took the full hour tour so we could establish what we wanted to see in the town. It's a great way to see everything and a ticket can be used for 48hrs and you can hop on and off as you wish.



Without the vouchers a family ticket for the 6 of us would have cost £24.



We "hopped" off of the CITYSIGHTSEEING bus to enter THE YORK DUNGEON .



Again we had ordered our tickets through Tesco before our holiday so the attraction cost nothing, and what a fab attraction it was.
During your visit you will see 11 scary shows with 7 of them led by actors, and sometimes you will be chosen to join in with the show! I was chosen to sit in a torture chair while the torturer demonstrated a device used to wrench out tongues! My tongue is still very much in place after the experience though so do not panic!!




These are just some of the attractions that tesco clubcard offers vouchers for and definately a brilliant idea for a budget holiday. Take a look at the website for more ideas.



Thanks for popping by.



Until next time

  2. It sounds like you are all having a great time, I've never used Tesco Vouchers for outings, it's something I must look into. I have sometimes used a site that has discount vouchers that you print off. Getting a bargain is a great thing.
    The cottage looks great, just the thing for a growing family.
