    What is quidco?x

    Hiya samtoby
    Quidco is a cashback site, they charge you £5 a year tom use them but they take the £5 from any money you've earned, so there's no cost up front to you. Once you've eraned a set amount of money (mine is £10) they then pay the cash directly into your bank account, this is all tax free as the tax man just looks at it as a discount. In the past three years I've had £1500 off them.

    I have all my debit cards registered with them as some high street shops give you cash back for spending in store. I also book holiday's through Quidco, take a look, anything I earn goes to paying off my debts.

    Hope this explains things a bit (link below) :D

    Hi Sue

    Can you add me to your list? This sounds like something I can actually do :)
    I even have an old coffee can that I can use. Can you set my target for £100?

    I'm getting quite into money-saving - I've just started couponing, so that should help some as well.

    I used araldite on a Quality Street tin bought for Christmas sweeties, works really well. Oops - forgot to say got OH to make a slot in the top. I usually use them as cake tins but I thought this may be a better use for one of them as I've collected several over the years.

    Potted 2.20p today, no idea how much is in the tin.
