Was putting fuel in at Sainsburys earlier and was feeling peckish.

I noticed a deal on their Gingsters range.
They're full price, but... you get a 60 day free Sun goals trial (make sure you cancel subscription by 45 day mark, otherwise subscription will renew and cost) and (this clinched the deal), you get a free Ginsters air freshener.
No idea whether they do 'pasty' scent, but I got a winter cinnamon scent.

So, a pasty, a 60 day Sun goals and an air freshener, for £1.40 AND the associated Nectar points!

Megabus are doing their free winter ticket offer (again) for travel Monday to Thursday during the period 12 January to 12 February. There is a booking fee of 50p but if you book more than one journey or for more than one person on the same transaction the fee is still only 50p.
Details can be found at:
http://uk.megabus.com/free-seat-sale.aspx

NOTE Tickets are usually relased in batches so if you don't find what you are looking for its worth waiting a few days and trying again.

Dominos are having a 30% of week - had one last night and it was great value.
The only thing is you have to buy a pizza, side, dessert and drink.

Still think I would rather spend 12 Hours on a Coach and in turn save myself £18, as I could then use that £18 towards buying myself something whilst I am down there.

But 6 of those 12 Hours id be asleep on the way down there, so really there would be no loss of life.

Think it's a case of cash availability. I know I used to be a bit more wary about using trains as they can be quite expensive (especially when compared to Megabus), but these days I'm more inclined to use the train when I can afford to do so.

Especially in the summer months though, I treated £20 as two Megabus Wednesday trips or one weekend train trip... In my eyes, two trips was better than one, if £20 was all I could afford to spend on travelling elsewhere in the UK for a trip that fortnight/month.

I don't know whether you've travelled on the overnight service to London, but from my experience - you don't get much sleep.

Between May and October in 2012 I travelled down to London, by bus, on almost a bi-weekly basis to do Uni work at The National Archive. If that train deal was available at the time, I would have booked it like a shot.

I do agree that train travel is massively more expensive, but £24 for London and back can't be sniffed at. I'm down there next week, and it cost about £210 iirc. Part of that is choice like, as I prefer getting the 0703 direct service on the way down.

I've never been on a coach for a long time, but as well as the length of journey, it was always how cramped you feel that put me off. At least on a train, 9 times out of 10, you can just get up and go and sit in a quieter part. It's not uncommon for me to have a 4 seat table block to myself when I do the ECML...

'The Cloud' sent me an email the other day with that offer. 
Thought it sounded great, until I read that you had to download an app and add money to your account in order to get the Festive Bake.

No Windows phone App either...
