Every Day Money Saving Tips - What are yours?
 
https://www.everup.uk/gift-card-deals
Buy discounted Gift Cards and use them to purchase from dozens of retailers, the app is legit and it connects to your bank to buy instantly, no credit or debit cards needed.

I use this app weekly to pay for my Tesco shopping using gift cards saving me between 4.3%-5.15% each time.

What are your every day money saving tips?

If after something specific check out deals on Hotukdeals. If buying what is down as a deal on Amazon ie Black Friday and so on check out the price history on CamelCamelCamel see if it is a deal or just a blag as they so often are and if not Amazon check out PriceSpy

Topcashback and Quidco also for cashback

Not money saving per se but when buying from China or something you are taking a punt on as they do often pay off I use a disposable virtual debit card on Skrill. Top it up with what it costs use it if it is a scam then you delete the card and make a new one

Just discovered Amazon subscriptions, where you get a cheaper price for items if you 'subscribe'. However there doesn't seem to be any restriction on cancelling subscriptions So buy your item at the cheaper subscription price, once delivered cancel the subscription. I dont bother if its pence different, but when its pounds worth doing.

E.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...b_b_prod_image
6 bottles of drinkable Aussie plonk. £38 , but £34 if subscribing, plus there's £9.54 discount voucher. So around £24 for 6 bottles. Just ordered my 2nd case. Cheers :)

There are often vouchers on S&S well worth keeping an eye on stuff. I just added 2 x 24 cans of pepsi max and max with mango for £5.50 and £6 per crate

Tell her about the EVERUP app and save her alot more, it easily pays for my IPTV and VPN for a whole year.

I sent her a message. She hasn't got Quidco or do matching rates. She just gets excited when she sees topcashback deals.

I'm still surprised it's only me and Paul that use it because it's easier than any other cashback methods and quicker.

Its irritating that you have to login every time, why cant it just remember me like other apps, other than that, yeah, its good.

I login with my fingerprint so I don't have that issue, do you have a fingerprint option?

£3 cashback bonus at Quidco, it's a limited opt in for selected accounts, not sure if it'll work for me it let me opt in but I never got a targeted email. Topcashback works so much better.

It's a shame gift cards are excluded so I'm going to have to buy something.

£3 Bonus
The next time you shop with us, we’ll give you a £3 bonus – in addition to any retailer cashback you earn. And there’s NO minimum spend.

Simply opt in to the bonus, and shop with one of 5,000(ish) retailers on Quidco.
