A savvy mum has revealed how you can get £20 worth of free food from a popular restaurant chain by using a simple trick.

Heidi Ondrak, 51, from Plymouth, is making it her mission to help others manage their bills and save money, having recently hit the headlines after sharing how you save hundreds at the hairdresser.

The mum has 37,400 followers on TikTok (@duchessofthrift), where she reveals her top tips and tricks.

In one of her most recent videos, Heidi reveals the simple way you and a friend can get £20 worth of free food from Turtle Bay, which has almost 50 restaurants across the UK.

Heidi reveals that the restaurant is currently offering £10 to anyone who downloads their app, however, it is limited to one person per table.

Nevertheless, the mum got her thinking cap on and managed to secure £20 worth of free food with a friend.

“I regularly check apps to see what offers are on and this one came up so I had to try it,” Heidi told NeedToKnow.online

“When you download the app you get £10 off any food or drinks with no minimum spend, I read the terms and conditions to make sure there was no catch.

“A main course is around £12 and with tap water, you can get a meal for £2 – and there is no washing up.

“A friend and I went and we both used the £10, we just sat across from each other and had a super cheap lunch.”

However, the influencer does suggest going at quieter times to ensure you can sit together.

She said: “It’s only one voucher per table and you can also spend this on drinks.

“But when you go in there, be really really cheeky and sit at separate tables.

“You can be sat next to each other in the restaurant during the week it’s not that busy.

“So I could be sat on the table on the right and you could be sat on the table on the left.

“We can still have a yip-yap, and we both get a free dinner and get to go out and do something nice together.

“There are ways around the rules and being cheeky.”

The discovery has resonated with her followers on TikTok, leaving many people amazed by the cheeky hack.

“Ha ha love this, just found £2 on the path,” one person said. [sic]

“A bit cheeky,” someone else said.

Another viewer said: “I love your videos. They always come up on my page so thought it was about time I said thanks for all the tips.”
