Amazon Oatly

Amazon have Oatly Foamable, a favourite for hot drinks, on their subscribe and save. This makes them around £1.58 if you don't use subscribe and save for many items and get 5% off, or as low as £1.42 per carton if you subscribe to enough items to get 15%. You buy a 6 pack each time so spend £9.50 (5% off price)/£8.50 (15% off price) per order.

Even with 5% off it's cheaper than in stores (usually around £1.80) so if you use Foamable enough to buy 6 cartons every so often, this is a nice little offer. 

Just go here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Grocery/Oatly-Oat-Drink-Foamable-Litre-Pack/B01CJXO4LQ/ref=pd_sbs_325_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=W6GVRXT6CGHQYB89CX28












With subscribe and save you can choose how often you have deliveries and can cancel a delivery for a month or so if your getting a bit overstocked on items. Plus you can cancel. 

Please check the prices are right for you before you purchase! Thanks :-)


Morrisons Alpro Go On

Go on go on go on go on! Morrisons have reduced their Alpro Go On! Including the new strawberry and raspberry flavour.

Product: Alpro Go On yoghurts
Where? Morrisons
How much? 60p
Until? 14/05/2017

Seems we have a while, but please check online before you go to buy!



Asda Oatly

Nice and simple one, Oatly is reduced in Asda!

Product: Oatly Oat drink
Where? Asda
How much? £1
Until? Unsure, appears to be a general rollback. Check online before you go to buy!


Clubcard Vouchers

Do you buy a lot from Tesco? Did you know you can quadruple your voucher value to buy yummy vegan food in certain restaurants??

Very simply go here: https://secure.tesco.com/clubcard/boost/ and find the restaurant that you want to eat at.Then choose how much you want in vouchers (multiples of £10), put them in your basket and checkout! You'll need at least £2.50 in vouchers to get £10. If you buy too many for your meal you don't have to use them all, however change isn't given so say you buy £50 and only spend £41, it'll be better to only use £40 (tell your server to only use £40) and keep £10 for another day.

You get your restaurant vouchers buy email in multiples of £20s and £10s depending on how much you've bought within half an hour (unless stated otherwise).

These are available for: Zizzi (yay!), Ask and Bella Italia, which all have a vegan menu, plus many other places such as Pizza Express. You can't use other vouchers and on special days (such as Mother's Day) they aren't always allowed, so please check the Ts and Cs before you buy them!

So just to confirm, use £2.50 in clubcard vouchers for every £10 of restaurant vouchers.

Top Tip: I know of a few people who save their vouchers for Christmas. If you keep a pot and pay into it the same value as the vouchers you've used to boost you can eat with 75% off AND have money saving up for Christmas. Win win!

All shiny and new!

Hello! Welcome to The Vegan Magpie. I am a vegan and I love saving money! Which is why I chose the vegan magpie (who like shiny things such as coins, which I hope we'll be saving lots of). I know veganism can be considered expensive, so I thought I'd start a blog which would be filled with instore and online deals and good value options for vegan products to help reduce the cost whilst still using your favourite vegan products.

Please bear with me whilst I work out how to use a blog. I hope you will soon find this a very useful tool to get the best prices for your vegan shopping.
