"Like most mums I'm always on the lookout for realistic ways to save and get a bargain.

"And as Christmas approaches, it's crucial that we all make better spending choices so we stay in control of our budget.

"The Dining Club is a great way to enjoy special meals with friends and family without spending a fortune.

"By teaming up with local and independent restaurants we can offer year-long savings at places which are perfect for big and little appetites."

Commenting on the Savings Pack, Claire Dixon from Durham, mum to Xander (7), said:

"When I saw the offer for the MyFamilyClub.co.uk Savings Pack I knew it was too good an offer to pass up.

"I've now started to use the MyFamilyClub.co.uk Savings Pack as a way of planning for special purchases and events like Christmas.

"So far I've got discounts at Boots, M&S, Toys 'R' Us and WHSmith. The Savings Pack is great as it's basically like getting free cash at the shops."
