You may have heard me on BBC Radio Lancashire with Graham Liver this morning for Thrifty Thursday. Here are the top money saving tips and deals I talked about.
Put Your Online Purchase On Ice
If you struggle with online shopping, like so many people do, there is an extension that you can add to your internet browser. It’s called Icebox and it replaces the buy button on over 400+ popular online stores. Rather than being able to buy with a couple of clicks, you set your own cooling period so you avoid impulse spending. The sites this works on include Amazon, Argos and M&S. For more money and mental health advice please visit moneyandmentalhealth.org.
Airtime Rewards App
Earn money to pay your phone bill when you shop with top retailers. Download the Airtime Rewards app and add your card so it can track your spending. You’ll get cashback when you shop using your connected cards. 5% when you shop at Boots, 2% at Argos, 6% at Waterstones. These transactions track in the app and you can build up a balance to pay your phone bill. Get to £10 and you can redeem that cash against your phone bill, saving you some cash. So far I’ve earned £33.82, which covers more than 3 months of my £10 a month mobile phone bill. Use code CNL4KN6G when you sign for a 50p reward. You’ll get an extra £1 if you buy something at a participating store with you linked card in the first week.
50% Discount At Pizza Express
Until the end of the month, you can get 50% off pizzas at Pizza Express. This offer is available on the Pizza Express app and it entitles one person to half price pizza. This includes Classic, Romana and Leggera pizzas, as well as gluten free and vegan alternatives. The discount is limited to one offer per member per day. So if you were dining with someone else, they would need their own discount from their own app.
Top Gun Maverick 2 For 1 Tickets
The sequel to Top Gun is released on May 25th and tickets are already available to book. You could go and see it on opening night for cheaper as it’s a Wednesday, meaning you can use Meerkat Movies 2 for 1 for cheap tickets. For an extra bit of fun, fans of the original film can head to whatsmycallsign.com and get their own Top Gun call sign. Allow access to your laptop webcam and it gives you a Top Gun fighter pilot helmet too! Maverick and Iceman are already taken but answer a couple of questions and get your own Top Gun call sign! Mine was Blizzard, what will yours be?
I hope these Thrifty Thursday top tips save you some cash.
