Is there one thing you buy too often and don't really need? How to stop?
A non-MoneySaving confession. There are certain things I buy too often which I don't need. Pretty notebooks are the main one - I have a shelf of unopened ones. I'm trying to tame the habit by avoiding stationery shops. I kept away from the Paperchase closing down sale, which was tough. Then, after discovering the 'pens'…

Currys - Discount code gone wrong but item delivered anyway can I keep it?
Cut a long story short ... Bought an item for £3200, seen it elsewhere for £2200 currys matched the price I ordered the item. Currys then decided they wanted to cancel the order because a £1000 discount was too much or something and they attempted to cancel the item. The item turned up this morning and has been delivered…

Recommendation for air fryers that are safe to use when you own a bird
I was thinking about getting an air fryer. Unfortunately I have just learnt that most are harmful to pet birds. Teflon/PFTE ones give off a gas toxic to birds. Can any bird owners recommend any (probably ceramic) ones that are ok? Have googled but not much luck as still shows ones with Teflon/PFTE

Spot Wash - Vax vs Bissell
We're thinking about getting a spot Wash. The Bissell has a 330W motor but the Vax has a 400W - so a good bit of extra suction. Has anyone got experience of either and whether I should look at either one more keenly?

Want a cheap, secondhand Freeview Box, using aerial connection
I'm looking for a cheap set-top box, just to watch free-to-air channels, using the house aerial connector.

And - in the event I need…

Dunelm Toaster 4 Slice fits Warburtons
I recently bought a new toaster as my old one broke. Always pro's and con's when you try and look through the minefield on offer and I don't like paying over £50.

Cheapest Way to send Heavy Parcel to US

I am looking for online glasses websites that sell cheap glasses where you can enter the diopter and axis that you need for the lenses.

What Pillows?
This will be very subjective but looking at opinions on pillows. For the last 10 or so years, we've had some special £40 vynyl pillows or something.
