MSE Blagged special offer deals

Below are the latest MSE exclusive deals arranged by the MSE Deals team – we call them MSE Blagged deals. We include these and more of the best deals we've spotted in the weekly MSE Money Tips email.

7 current deals

1,000 available

31 January & 1 February at the NEC, Birmingham. Normally £25

If you love lacing up your trainers and getting out for a run, or want to learn more about running, keep reading as we've gone the extra mile to get you this freebie.

Sprint to The National Running Show website and enter the code MSE to get free tickets for the event on Saturday 31 January and Sunday 1 February at the NEC in Birmingham – your ticket's valid for both days. Doors open at 9am, and close at 5pm.

We've got 1,000 free tickets available and this deal will end once they've all been claimed. Once registered, you'll get confirmation from See Tickets, then your actual tickets will be sent a week before the event. You can print your tickets, or just show them on your phone on the day.

Adult tickets normally cost £25 (it's usually free for under-16s if they're with an adult). You can get up to two adult tickets and four child tickets per order.

If you're planning to use public transport to travel to Birmingham, see our Cheap train tickets guide. If you're driving to the NEC, you may want to book parking in advance as you can save £5 compared to paying on the day.

What is The National Running Show? As the name suggests, it's a show covering all things running, whether you're a beginner gearing up for your first 5k or a seasoned marathon runner. There will be exhibitors and stalls from brands such as Adidas, Sweaty Betty and Asics to name a few, as well as guest speakers including Georgia Hunter Bell and Colin Jackson OBE. See the full show agenda.

Running is a money saving way to keep fit, and we've got more ideas in our keep fit for free blog.

MSE Blagged

Includes designer brands such as Gucci, Tom Ford & Prada

Go online to Vision Express* and you can get 25% off contact lenses, glasses and prescription sunglasses when entering the MSE Blagged code AFFMSE25 at checkout by 11.59pm on Sunday 1 March.

Contact lenses – there are some limits on how many you can buy with the code

This depends on the type, as follows:

  • Bi-weekly or monthly lenses: Eight packs

  • Daily: 20 packs

  • Multifocal, varifocal, or Toric for astigmatism: 24 packs

Glasses – the code only works when ordering frames and lenses together, not just frames alone

The cheapest included glasses are Vision Express' own-brand, Seen, starting from £45 before the code, £33.75 after (cheaper glasses aren't included – see exclusions below).

The code also works on most designer frames, including Gucci, Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany & Co, and Prada – of course, these brands aren't MoneySaving, but if you're going to buy a designer brand anyway, 25% off is a decent saving.

Be aware that extra lens options such as coatings or thinner lenses will add to your cost. For example, adding 'Standard anti-reflection' is £40 before the code, while thinner lenses range from £70 to £180 extra. When we checked, basic 'Standard' lenses were included in the price of the frames, so this is the cheapest option to choose.

There's no limit on how many pairs of glasses or sunglasses you can buy with this code.

Delivery's £3, or free for orders over £35

Vision Express says delivery should take 3-5 working days for contact lenses and prescription glasses (pending prescription validation), or 7-10 working days for prescription sunglasses or if you've selected glasses with a lens add-on. You'll need to either add your prescription at the time you choose your frames, or email it in.

Exclusions

The 25% off isn't valid alongside any other codes or offers (including outlet or sale) and excludes £15 sunglasses, £25 glasses, and Ray-Ban Meta or Oakley Meta glasses or sunglasses.

Always compare prices elsewhere to make sure you're getting the best deal. See our full round-up of glasses deals.

10,000 available

At Thompson & Morgan. Excludes Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland

Go via this Thompson & Morgan link* and you can get a 200 summer-flowering bulb bundle for £11.99 delivered (£5 for the bundle, plus £6.99 delivery). If the link doesn't automatically reduce the bundle to £5, enter the code TM_TAW393W in the 'promotion key code' box at the checkout.

The deal will last until 11.59pm on Monday 26 January, or when all 10,000 available bundles have gone, whichever's sooner.

The collection of 200 bulbs includes:

  • 5 Crocosmia bulbs

  • 5 Gladioli mixed bulbs

  • 30 Liatris spicata bulbs

  • 40 Brodiaea Queen Fabiola bulbs

  • 30 Acidanthera bulbs

  • 30 Oxalis iron cross bulbs

  • 30 Ranunculus mixed bulbs

  • 30 Anemone bulbs

Thompson & Morgan says the bundle should be dispatched in 14 to 21 days. It advises planting the bulbs at the earliest opportunity in patio pots, borders, or containers at a depth of twice the size of the bulb – full growing instructions will be included in the delivery.

How good is this deal? Thompson & Morgan doesn't usually sell this exact bundle, but it values it at about £63 (excluding the £6.99 delivery) based on what the contents would cost bought separately. We've found similar from other retailers for about £54 without delivery, though do check discount stores such as Home Bargains and B&M as they often have offers, which could mean they're cheaper.

Exclusions: It's one bundle per person – you'll pay full-price for any additional bundles. Delivery's available across most of Great Britain, though you can't get it if you live in any of these postcodes: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3. Thompson & Morgan doesn't deliver to Northern Ireland.

For example, five-sheet pack £32 delivered (normally £39)

Update, Thursday 15 January at 1.09pm: This deal has been mega popular with MoneySavers and the 2,000 half-price packs have now gone. You can still get 20% off using the code mentioned below.

There are only 2,000 half-price packs available, and when we've featured this deal in the past it's been extremely popular, so it's likely it'll go very quickly.

Delivery's £1.99 (we've factored it into the price above) via DPD or Evri, and takes seven working days to arrive.

Now all 2,000 half-price packs have been claimed, you can get 20% off all radiator reflector packs online at the Radflek shop*. To get 20% off, you'll need to enter the code MSE2026 at checkout by 11.59pm on Sunday 1 February – there are no limits on how many people can redeem this code.

Bear in mind some Radflek products may be cheaper to buy from other retailers, such as Amazon, even when factoring in the 20% off code. There may be cheaper alternatives around, and make sure to compare prices and reviews. Check DIY stores such as B&Q, and elsewhere online. Radflek packs are also sold new on eBay, but it's important to do your due diligence on the seller before buying. When using the 20% off code, delivery's £1.99 per unit via DPD/Evri and should take 14 working days to arrive.

Here are the packs and prices using the 20% off code:

  • Two-sheet pack, fits up to four radiators – £17.98 delivered with the code (normally £21.98 at Radflek). Cheapest we found elsewhere is £19.99 delivered at Amazon for Prime members.

  • Three-sheet pack, fits up to six radiators – £21.58 delivered with the code (normally £26.48 at Radflek). Cheapest we found elsewhere is £24.30 delivered at Amazon for Prime members.

  • Five-sheet pack, fits up to 10 radiators – £31.98 delivered with the code (normally £39.48 at Radflek). Cheapest we found elsewhere is £35.95 delivered at B&Q.

  • Eight-sheet pack, fits up to 16 radiators – £45.98 delivered with the code (normally £56.98 at Radflek). Cheapest we found elsewhere is £54.99 delivered at Amazon for Prime members.

What's a radiator reflector?

These sheets are designed to hang (no adhesives necessary) behind radiators, particularly those that back onto exterior walls, to reflect heat back into the room. This helps to maximise the effects of your heating and could ultimately lower your energy bills.

The pack includes the sheets, clips and adhesive strips. If needed, you can cut the sheets to fit more radiators (depending on size). Radflek says its sheets reflect 95% of wasted heat energy back into your room. Their efficacy has been independently tested and verified by the British Board of Agrément and the Building Research Establishment.

From £5.80. Plus 50% off your third & fourth boxes. Includes free delivery

Organic online grocer Abel & Cole* is offering 60% off your first two fruit and/or veg boxes when you enter the MSE Blagged code ACMSEJAN26 at checkout by 11.59pm on Friday 30 January. The offer's for new customers, or those who've not placed an order within the last six weeks.

If you decide to continue with the subscription, you'll also get 50% off your third and fourth boxes. Each order comes with free delivery (usually £3.50), and you'll get a free olive oil in your second box. Note, the normal delivery charge will still show at checkout, but the free delivery discount will be factored into your final amount.

Each order within the offer must be delivered within four weeks of the previous one, or the promotion will expire.

The boxes range in size, price and variety, but the cheapest is an Extra Small Fruit & Veg box*, which works out at £5.80 delivered after the code and free delivery.

To keep driving to a minimum, Abel & Cole only delivers to areas on a certain day of the week. It covers most of England and some parts of Wales – use its postcode checker to see if and when it delivers to your area. You can't change your delivery day or choose a time slot, but you can give an option for a 'safe place' for your box to be left.

Abel & Cole normally has a £12 minimum order fee, prior to any discounts, but this doesn't apply to any of the boxes included in our deal.

Important: You'll be automatically enrolled into a weekly subscription, but you're able to skip or cancel at any time. If you do decide to continue, the code also gets 50% off your third and fourth boxes. If you want to cancel a box, you'll need to do it at least two working days before your next delivery is due – so if your next box is due on a Friday, you'll need to cancel by 11.59pm on the Tuesday before.

Here are a few more examples of boxes you could get*, and how much your first/second box would cost when using our code:

The Everyday Essentials Veg box* contains eight types of vegetables – so with the code it works out at about 88p per portion of veg.

Abel & Cole sells a range of products (including Recipe boxes, Meat & Fish, and Bakery boxes, as well as general grocery items), but our code only works on the 'Fruit & Veg' boxes.

MSE Olivia says:

The example box mentioned above works out at 88p per portion of veg with our code. Obviously, this isn't the cheapest way to buy veg, as you could pick up a bag of carrots for about 70p at most supermarkets. However, the cost of organic carrots at supermarkets is about £1.30 a bag.

This deal could be good for you if you're happy to pay a little extra for the convenience of having fresh, organic food delivered, but also want to shop in a more sustainable and eco-friendly way.

When we checked on Friday 2 January, Abel & Cole had an 'Excellent' 4.6 out of 5 rating at Trustpilot from 14,400+ reviews.

Four to choose from. Normally up to £70

Beauty and grooming brand Gruum* is offering four men's grooming bundles for £16-£18 each, all including free delivery. Grüum doesn't usually offer these particular sets for sale (they've been curated exclusively for us), but we spotted similar sets on its website for £30-£40, so we reckon this is a decent deal.

There are 10,000 sets available in total (2,500 of each), and the offer will run until they're all gone. You can order up to four of these sets.

Delivery's usually £3.95, but it's free if you go via our link above. Grüum told us it should take about three to five working days to arrive, and the deadline for Christmas delivery of these bundles is midday on Friday 19 December, though it's best to order before then.

Here are the contents of the four sets:

Men’s luxury wash set (normally £48) - £16

  • Gentle Face Wash (120ml) – normally £9

Grüum often shows other items during the checkout process to tempt you – but just select 'no thanks' and 'skip' if you don't want any extra items or bundles.

What is Grüum?

It's an online beauty and grooming business. When we checked on Monday 8 December, Grüum had a 4.5 out of 5 Trustpilot score based on 6,300+ reviews.

Via MSE Blagged code and link

If you've been eye-ing up AllSaints prescription specs or sunnies, you can get a pair for £39 delivered (normally £145), when using the MSE Blagged code MSE39AS via our SpeckyFourEyes* link. The code's valid until 11.59pm on Saturday 31 January.

The code only works on the AllSaints items found via our link, and you'll need to enter the code in the vouchers box on the 'Shopping cart - summary' page once you've chosen your frames and lenses.

Need-to-knows for getting the cheapest price

  • To get them cheapest, pick 'continue with free lenses' when asked to choose your lens package (stage five of the checkout process), as thinner or scratch-resistant lenses will cost £15 to £150 extra. To avoid other extras and keep costs down, select 'skip step & continue' until you reach the checkout.

  • You can enter your prescription during the checkout process, or opt to send it later. Some frames aren't suitable for high prescriptions, so keep an eye out when choosing. Do note that only standard lenses are included in the price – you'll pay extra for bifocal or thin lenses.

  • Select 'Royal Mail Standard' delivery – our code will make this delivery option free (normally £6.99).

See 'More info' below for full T&Cs. If you need to contact SpeckyFourEyes about your order, you can do so via this special contact page*.

MSE Georgia-May says:

It's tricky to compare prices for these exact frames, as many of them are end-of-line and aren't sold elsewhere – but I reckon £39 all-in for a pair of branded prescription specs or sunglasses is pretty decent. They're normally £145 at SpeckyFourEyes, and when I checked on Monday 8 December, I found some for up to £180 at Boots.

SpeckyFourEyes may not always be cheapest, so do your own price comparison before buying. As ever, with branded items in particular, be sure to check reviews if it's a retailer you've not heard of.

See our Cheap Glasses page for other deals on specs.

More info

You can use the code more than once but you can only use one code per item, per transaction – so you'll need to make multiple transactions if you want more than one pair. The code gets you free delivery (normally £6.99) and takes 7-20 working days.

SpeckyFourEyes says there are good stock levels available, but all frames are subject to availability, so they could still sell out fast if demand is high.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
