Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Here's a simple but great idea: a free lottery hands out £200 every day to a randomly selected postcode. The only catch is you have to register your postcode to have it entered and then check a website to see if you've won.

The man behind it – web designer Chris Holbrook – makes his money from the advertising on the site, but there is no need to buy or even click on anything to be a contender for the prize.

To be in with a chance of winning – about £12,000 has been handed out so far – register at freepostcodelottery.com.

Coffee and cosmetics

A tie-up between Starbucks and cosmetics company Benefit means that you can get a free makeover or coffee throughout February.

At Benefit Cosmetics boutiques you can collect a coffee sleeve that can be redeemed at Starbucks for a "buy one, get one free" hot drink.

Meanwhile, at Starbucks you can pick up a pink emoji coaster that will get you a free "make-upper" at a Benefit boutique.

Grocers try to win hearts

Ahead of Valentine's Day on 14 February, Sainsbury's has a Bistro Meal deal for two, including wine, for a tenner. Meanwhile, Tesco reckons you can save £12 by splashing out on its dine-in £20 meal deal, including champagne or prosecco.

Ski prices on downhill slope

If you're planning a half-term family skiing trip, Sports Direct has a range of deals on Nevica products, including helmets at £19.99 and ski jackets from £25.99.

Travel money goes further

There are two currency deals next week. From Monday to Wednesday, 1 to 3 February, Virgin Money has offers on US dollars, euros and Canadian dollars. Asda's travel money sale from Tuesday to Thursday, 2 to 4 February, includes the same currencies as well as offers on Swiss, Bulgarian and UAE money.
