Saving Advice?
A kick up the behind would be helpful right now. I will need a newer second hand car by the winter time and so far I've only saved £500. I 'could' have saved £1000 by now.

Impressed by how much I have saved
I've been sorting my finances out in the last few days and already saved hundreds. I've swapped gas & electricity suppliers from British Gas to Eon and according to uswitch will save around £500. Even if they follows suit and hike prices up it will still be much cheaper than BG. I had my car insurance renewal through in…

Insider Card at Showcase Cinemas
I went to the cinema last night to see the new Harry Potter film in 3D. Myself and two friends each had an Insider Card which is free to apply for and gets you into a film for half price on a Tuesday, so what would have cost us £30 (3 x 3D tickets) cost just £15 - so a massive 50% saving!! I would encourage all savers like…

Losing Money Saving?
I've just read the bit on savings stating if my interest rate is lower than that of inflation, my savings are losing me money. So what should I do? Take my money out of my savings account and stick it under the mattress? Surely then I'll be even worse off as I'm not receiving any interest at all!! Decrease inflation?…
