Inspired to get fitter? Get yourself kitted out at a discount with Perkz.
We seem to be having a great summer for sporting success again with wins for the British Lions and Andy Murray and now England have had a good start in The Ashes and Chris Froome is in the yellow jersey in the Tour de France.
If these are inspiring you to get more sporty, you can get kitted out with 20% off at Reebok, 12% off at Wiggle, 10% off at Kitbag and Halfords and 7% off at Sports Direct by visiting:
- Perkz
or - Health and beauty offers
Cyclists can now buy safety equipment and accessories only under the Cycle to Work scheme. Until now, safety equipment could be obtained only with the purchase of a bike, but this change means that there is no need to include a bike in your request. If you are considering buying a bike and accessories or just safety equipment you can access more information by visiting:
Food
If you are looking for a good food, one of our regular discount providers, City Scene, are offering you 50% discount off (until 21 July) the food bill at Pertutti restaurant in Castlefield which showcases the best of British and Italian produce.
