'Discount Dinner Dates' Surge In Popularity

A new survey has found that a majority of British people no longer mind going on 'discount dates'.

The survey, which was carried out by TopCashback.co.uk, found that instead of impressing a date with a high-end expensive place to eat, more and more people are using vouchers to pay for dates.

Furthermore, nine in ten Britons said they wouldn't be offended if their date offered to pay for date with vouchers, with 37% admitting to having already been on a 'discount date'. Only 13% of those polled said they would 'show their date the door' if they considered paying with vouchers.

When it came to asking when the use of vouchers would or would not be acceptable, 39% said it would be completely acceptable to use discounts on the first date, while 35% said the discount vouchers shouldn't be used until you are officially a couple. Just 1% of respondents felt vouchers should never be used when dating.

Natasha-Rachel Smith at TopCashback.co.uk said: "With recent news that 32 per cent of households have reported a squeeze in their finances, it's clear that budgeting and money-saving continues to be high on our agenda.

"It's due to this that we’re seeing a change in the perception around using discount vouchers, codes and cashback deals, which are increasing in popularity and forming part of consumers’ everyday spending habits, to the point that using a voucher at a restaurant has become the norm – even a prerequisite - for many."
