This week I have mostly been making Whoopie! Unfortunately that sentence isn't quite as exciting as it sounds. Although it isn't un-exciting either. What I've been doing is making whoopie pies. Specifically Betty Crocker Whoopie Pies (£2.15 from Tesco Direct).

You have been able to buy ready made Whoopie Pies before, or so I'm told. I've never actually heard of them myself. This is a new addition to the Betty Crocker line, with a mix that you make yourself.

The selling point is that it is a fun activity for you to do as a family. Well, both my son and I love cooking, but our baking is done from scratch. It would take a bit to sell me on using cake mix. Here's how I got on.

Use this Dominos coupon to get £10 off your order when you spend £30. Which is really easy to do  - all it takes is two large pizzas! Use the second code to get £5 off when you spend between £20 and £30.

Click here to use your £10 Dominos coupon

• Discount: £10
• Minimum spend: £30
• Voucher code: DTESSXCN
• Expires: unknown

• Discount: £5
• Minimum spend: £20
• Voucher code: MCHCMDAB
• Expires: unknown

To use this code, make your purchases then go to checkout. Enter it in the voucher code box. The discount is applied automatically to your bill, and you’ll see it appear immediately. Unfortunately it doesn't work on deals or existing discounts.

I tested it out on two large pizzas, at £16.99 each. This came to just £23.98 once the Dominos coupon code had been applied.

There's no expiry on this code, so I'm not sure how long it will last. Domino's coupons are notoriously restaurant specific. This one seems to have been used in a number of different locations though. I'm based in London. So if you're stuck for something to eat during the holidays between Christmas and New Years, and can't face another variation on how to eat Turkey leftovers, you could order in a pizza instead!

Use this Dominos coupon to get £10 off your order when you spend £30 or more. Which is really easy to do these days - all it takes is two large pizzas!

Click here to use your £10 Dominos coupon

• Discount: £10
• Minimum spend: £30
• Voucher code: HAPPYDOM
• Expires: unknown

To use this code, make your purchases then go to checkout. Enter it in the voucher code box. The discount is applied automatically to your bill, and you’ll see it appear immediately. The code works on deals to a certain extent. I've tested it out on a few of the different deals, and it seems to work as long as there's at least one full price pizza in there.

For example, I tried it on a 555 deal, and a large pizza, which came to £33.64. This came down to £23.64 with the coupon applied.

There's no expiry on this code, so I'm not sure how long it will last. Other similar codes have lasted for several months, so hopefully this one will carry on a little longer.

Use this Pizza Hut promotional code to get 50% off your order when you spend £50 or more. Ah yes, you know it is coming up to school holidays when you see me post a Pizza Hut voucher. Well, it is always nice to have a treat, and if you've got a young teenager and a couple of his friends over, then this pretty much equates to three pizzas.

If you rely on this code to pick up a bargain pizza treat over the half term holidays, I would recommend testing it first (you don’t need to actually buy the pizza) before making any promises to the kids. It is available with participating restaurants, but I've no idea which ones are participating or not.

It worked on three pizzas with stuffed crusts. It took a total of £54.87 down to £27.51.

Here's a good one to stock up on. This is a 2 pack of 6 125g jars in each pack, making 12 in total, of the HiPP Organic stage 1 banana and peach dessert. Amazon has this reduced down to £3.36 from £9.36, and delivery is free with Amazon Prime.

• Click here for HiPP Organic desserts at Amazon

I loved the HiPP jars when son was a baby. Organic, and tasty, really handy to have one around for use when you needed it. I travelled a lot, so it was good to be able to have a jar around to hand for a quick snack where it wasn't possible to give them anything else.

The desserts are quite lovely. Although the name makes it sound like a sugar filled nightmare, they're really just fruit. There isn't any added sugar or sweetener! And they're not as sweet as the name sounds. I also found that they are FABULOUS for grownups too, when mixed with natural yoghurt. I think I might have eaten more of them than my son did...

These desserts are, specifically, bananas and peaches blended with rice. There are no preservatives.

The ingredients are: fruits (78%) (bananas (50%), peaches (25%), lemon juice from  concentrate, water, ground rice (3%), antioxidant ascorbic acid. All ingredients are organic, unless stated. In this produce the water and antioxidant ascorbic acid are from non-organic sources. The desserts are gluten free, and there's no added milk products.

I have a child in the house. Just the one. He is six and a half, and as far as I can tell he rolls around in mud all day. I imagine that his lessons at school go something like this. Two plus two equals four? Well done. OK off you go outside and spend five minutes rolling about in mud.

Not having a utility room means my kitchen is piled high on a daily basis with clothes to be washed. In fact, right now I can't get to the back door as it is piled high with duvets and bedding waiting for their turn in the washing machine.

The chance to review two types of clothes detergents from one of the leading brands wasn't going to be missed. Do they work? Do they get stains out? Did they treat clothes kindly? That's pretty much the questions any parent wants to know.

So read on to find out just how our tester Theresa got on, and whether the answers to those questions are good - or bad. Theresa has a daughter who is six, and a husband, and lives a gloriously outdoor lifestyle right on the coast of southern England. She has been using both sets of Persil consistently over the past few weeks.

Use your Pizza Hut promotional code to get 50% off orders of £35 or more. I like that about the 50% codes at Pizza Hut. You can spend £50 and only pay £25, for example. Great to find another one of these codes come out for the summer holidays too. I wish they'd put expiry dates on them though. But they do come along regular enough. It would seem unlikely that anyone ever needs to pay the full price (other than the fact that not everyone checks for coupon codes. Unbelievable, but true).

It worked for me on two pizzas with the new Piri Piri stuffed crust. It doesn't work on Deals though. Hoever, it is possible that the offer varies amongst restaurants.

Use these Pizza Hut coupon codes to get 25% off your order when you spend £20 or more, or £10 off when you spend £25 or more. These codes are valid over most of the summer holidays, so definitely worth bookmarking this one!

I tested it out on a large pan BBQ steak and a large Italian Hawaiian. This came to £28.98, and the code reduced that down to £18.98.

If you are spending more than £35 pounds don't use either of these! Try this code instead, which we published here, to get 50% off your order. I don't actually know when this code expires but it was still active today.

Meal planning saves money. And it is the one thing I am absolute rubbish at. One reason is because I still haven't accepted that I'm a grown up now. I have a child, a career, a mortgage. I'm chair of the PTA. But still, inside, I think I'm going to go to all night raves and sleep till noon.

Having forked out on a takeaways for four nights last week, for the adults in the household, I realised I might as well be standing on the street corner handing out my cash to passersby.

Somehow it is always easier to throw together a meal for my son from scratch. Partly because I don't worry about its contents so much during the week as he gets a lovely fully cooked school dinner at lunchtime. But not so easy to co-ordinate things for the adults, since we all eat at different times. My other half works lates during the summer, so I have a choice of eating with him, or with son. And most of the time I do neither and just have a piece of toast.

Sound familiar?

I made it my mission then to find out exactly how you can make meal planning easy.

There's a cup of tea ... and then there's a cup of tea. Tea Pigs tea is more expensive than anything I'd buy at the supermarket, but it tastes so much better. Use this Tea Pigs promotional code to get 20% off.

It's a lovely website to browse. The couple who run Tea Pigs clearly love their tea. It makes me want to try all sorts of different blends. Interesting facts on there too - did you know what makes blue tea blue, and green tea green? You'll have to visit the website to find out!

Tesco has reduced its Farleys Rusks 4 Month Original packs of 18 from £1.66 to £1. These were a huge favourite in my house. Not with my son though. He never liked them. My husband on the other hand couldn't get enough of them!

• Click here for your Farley Rusks at Tesco

The offer is valid online, and should also be found instore. According to the website, Farley's Rusks contain seven vitamins and minerals like vitamin D and calcium. It suggests crumbling biscuits to use as a weaning food, and serving them up with yoghurt and fruit puree. Actually that sounds really yummy for grownups too.

I developed a secret addiction to pureed fruit when son was a baby. For physical reasons (a tongue tie that wasn't severe enough for surgery but still restrictive) he found purees easier to eat. That's not for everyone. I know that my PlayPennies teammate Luschka goes with Baby Led Weaning for example.

My son started cutting his first tooth at around 15 months. I did try him with rusks at first, but it is funny what they like and don't like. He was quite happy with them until I gave him some Organix Animal Biscuits. Have you ever tried these? They're sweetened with grape juice instead of sugar and you can get them in pound shops for £1 a box too. They were an instant hit with my son and they're still his favourite at the age of six! He calls them Scooby snacks.

Use this Tesco promotional code to get £15 off a £65 order. It applies to new accounts only, and there's only two days left till it expires.

Click here to use your Tesco promotional code

• Discount: £15
• Minimum spend: £65
• Promotional code: XXT4HM
• Expires: 2nd June 2011

To use this code you’ll need to go through checkout. And you’ll need to register as a new account with a new email address. When you get to the third page of checkout – the Order Summary page – scroll down the page and click on the eCoupons or Promotion Codes button.

Type in the code, don’t cut and paste. I tried pasting it in there but the site rejected the code. It only worked when I typed it in myself.

It is a high minimum spend, but then on a family shop it is pretty likely you spend that anyway if not more. I am continuously shocked at how expensive food is every time I go shopping. It isn't like I'm not willing to do a bit of shopping around, and I try to get the cheapest possible. I know that a 2ltr bottle of semi skimmed is half the price in Iceland than it is in Sainsburys. But even so. The other day I picked up just a few essentials  - milk, bread, some yoghurts, a bit of fruit. And it came to £8! How, how did that happen?

Thorntons make some yummy choccies. They're one of my faves. I'd not hesitate to give some as a present either. So this code may well come in handy.
