gas & electricity saving
Sorry - this is not a "have saved" but could have saved.....I couldn't belive the difference. I was checking my daughter's Scottish Power gas & elec bill for the flat she stays in at University.

My £20k MSE Baby Adventure
Long post........ Once upon a time there was a woman who wanted so much to spend time at home when her new Baby that she embarked on a very big adventure.

Savings when buying/selling houses
We saved £300 by asking our estate agent to drop their fee when they sold our house. Without reading MSE, I wouldn't have even crossed my mind to ask them to drop their fee.

Saved 300 pounds on Travel Insurance

Price quoted by the travel agents was over 400 pounds, which was enough to make the…
