- Food for thought. Even splitting the bill pulls on the purse strings. Italian chain Prezzo has 30 per cent off starters, mains and desserts. Head to prezzorestaurants.co.uk for the voucher. Or try Frankie & Benny’s to get two-for-one savings on main meals, which usually cost around £10.

On wowcher.co.uk, get a ticket to an Odeon Halloween screening of horror classic Scream — with drink and popcorn — for £9 per ticket, instead of the usual £16 (price varies with location).
- Drink up. Check out local bars for offers. Getting the first round in? Download the Young’s Pubs’ app if you live in the South — and your drink will be free! Download All Bar One’s app and get your first drink free (from a selection). Heading there between October 26 and November 3? Then get two-for-one on Halloween Bacardi cocktails, usually around £5 each. Bookend the night with a chilled glass of Martini prosecco, down at Asda from £10.78 to £7, saving you £3.78 a bottle.
- Stay in touch. Staying in is the most cost-effective date. Tesco has you covered. Its Finest meal deal includes a main, side and dessert, plus wine or beer, for £10. That’s a saving of up to £8.60.
