Couperwife Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have just been told about this website from my mum www.moneysavingexpert.com its got loads of tips and things on saving money (believe it or not) you can register and get sent regular emails that tell you about deals going on, how to get freebies (just sent for a free calendar from breathing-space and a free thing to put in the loo for saving water) its quite a confusing site, but I think that if you persevere you will be able to save quite a lot. worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaR Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 This is one of my favourite sites I 've saved loads of money following the hints and advice from Martin and the forum members. In the last year we have saved just over £1000 in our 'Mortgage Pig' and have £700 worth of vouchers, cash and loyalty points for this christmas by using Pigsback, ipoints, quidco and learning about (and using) Tesco R&R. This is aside to the usual insurance premium cost cutting etc. I never really knew about any of this until Moneysavingexpert. Can't live without it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Me too Bron It's like a foreign language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaR Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 True, Bron. It can be confusing on the forums with the lingo but I found that if I stick to just a couple of the forums at a time, I get in the swing of it eventually. The main two I visit are the 'Freebies (no spend required) board' where I discovered all the cashback sites and some fab forum members who go to great lengths to explain ideas to newbies...have also picked up quite a few freebies on there too and the other is the 'Mortgage free wannabe' forum where I discovered the lovely 'Mortgage pig' that has converted the whole family. He sits on top of our T.V with his list of rules and the children have great delight in counting him up at the end of each month I'd post a piccie of 'Mr Porky', if I could work out how to put it on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I love that site but its been down for a few days following a DDOS attack. I've saved a fortune on there and stocked up on tons of talc and moistruiser for tesco points. Be able to have another cruise next year now.

CatsCube Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I saw him on GMTV a few months back talking about the mortgage exit fees and how to get them back, we had moved mortgage lenders the year before, one quick phone call and we got about £200 dumped stright in our bank account. I passed on the info to a load of other people, and was mis populer after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joojoo Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Good evening http://www.hotukdeals.com/main.html This one is quite good too. If you are looking to buy something in particular or from a certain store you can search for it/them and see if there are any vouchers available. I've used them in the past for bits and pieces, thought more often that not I forget until after I've ordered You can buy from a lot of major stores including Amazon, Marks & Spencer and loads of others through the Shrewsbury Cats Protection website and raise much needed funds for them at the same time. You don't need to do anything other than visit your chosen store through the following website - http://www.buy.at/shrewsburycatsprotection Any help you can give to them would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
