    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    If it's a £4k a year payrise then it shouldn't affect your Tax Credits for another year (unless it's changed, been out of the benefits loop for a few months). I'd give them a ring and check that gonzo.
