New to MSE and need some Guidance

Options
Hey Guys

I am a newbie to MSE! i am saving for a deposit for my house and even though i have been following the website for months i have finally decided to kick myself into trying to save some money to pay of my debt and make some extra cash.

I am wanting to pay of my £280 RBS overdraft and my £490 Barclays overdraft
I am trying to save £10k starting the 9th of March till the end of December

I have just joined:
  • The 20p saving club
  • Quidco
  • Topcashback
  • Summer Sizzler
  • Ebay
  • Amazon
  • Slice the Pie
  • Make a payment a day
I am wondering if anyone had anymore suggestions into how i could do this and keep me motivated :money:

    Hello and welcome to the asylum. Suggest you check out the Old Style forum for ideas on how to make your money stretch further.

    Well done on everything you have signed up to and good luck with your challenge.

    Have you posted a SOA to see if there are any areas you can cut back on?

    The grocery challenge on the Old Style board is a good one too to help reduce shopping bills x x
