WHAT a ’mare. Everything has been postponed, even The Grand National.
But you can still tune in to the Virtual Grand National on Saturday on ITV from 5pm and we have got some bargain tips for you.
Filly your boots.
Hat trick: OK, it’s not the same as being at Aintree, but why not get the whole family into true race-day spirit by wearing your best hats?
Raid the wardrobe, see what you can find and don your headgear when you tune in. It’s a bit of fun and you could even video chat in your hats with far- away loved ones. Don’t have a hat?
Find old accessories such as hair clips and alice bands or craft a fascinator with the kids.
Champ-ion choice: Raise a glass to your bets with a bottle of Aldi’s award-winning Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut, £12.49 — far cheaper than Sainsbury’s Brut Rose Champagne for £22.
SAVING: £9.51
Get a pizza the action: Rein in the cost of feeding the family by grabbing a selection of pizzas from Tesco. You can currently nab an array of stonebaked options, including spinach, pepperoni or chargrilled veg, for £1.75 down from £3.50.
SAVING: £1.75 per pizza
It’s a draw: Finding it hard to keep the kids occupied while you enjoy the races?
Thejockeyclub.co.uk has the perfect solution. Kids can design their own silks. Just download and print the free Design Your Own Silks template, then let them get creative. There’s even a contest to enter.
A better bet: If you fancy a flutter from your sofa, head to sunracing.co.uk and get everything you need to enjoy the Virtual Grand National from your home with real tips and play a self-isolation sweepstake with your mates. All the big bookies are donating losing bet cash to the NHS.
