Introduced at the start of lockdown, it isn’t going to set the world on fire the £5 red and white range from M&S are great value on an M&S wine offer clearance price. The M&S Fruity & Intense Red is an Italian number which is one of a growing number of well priced vegan wines on offer in M&S. Why not see how the M&S Supermarket Dry Amontillado Sherry Wine reviews – £1.79 per bottle. You could go for the French Aldi Malbec-Syrah (currently £4.49 per bottle), which is cheap and reviews well as a UK supermarket wine. You can, of course, source an Argentinian Malbec from a number of places, but I highly recommend the Aldi version or Sainsbury’s also do a lovely vegan Caminada Malbec at a reasonable £5.25 per bottle price.

In light of the increased demands that have been put upon teachers and teaching staff within schools during the pandemic, I thought it was important to revisit what discounts, freebies and offers are available to teachers in the UK in order to make their lives easier. Technology, Laptops and Apple Discounts for Teachers and Educators in the UK Apple discounts for teachers have long been commonplace in the UK and across the world. Now…Apple doesn’t seem to offer a single universal discount across all of its products, so you’ll need to compare what you get using a discount from them with buying Apple products from places like Currys PC World using discount codes or cashback offers. If looking to reduce the costs when travelling in the UK, it’s worth looking into companies like Boundless.co.uk who offer a range of discounts for teachers including car insurance and breakdown cover.
