I have no idea how I am going to achieve this, but I am going to give it a damn good try!! I made £423 September to December 2013, so I have already signed up for Market Research surveys, Mystery Shopper websites. I just don't know how I am going to squeeze it in to family life...here goes...have already been on the websites in prep for 2014!

can I join too, please? Really need to save!

Hoping I can be helpful - if you have a union membership, do check the member benefits pages of your webbsite. My union does the gift cards for a huge range of shops with discounts of up to 10%. Many of these are refillable (if that makes sense!) electronically - I buy for both Sainsburys and Asda at a 4% reduction every month (so if you buy a card for £100, you get the full £100 on the card but pay only £96. Postage cancels this out more or less but given that you can refill online for nothing it soon works out) and put the saved money in my moneybox so I'm benefitting from the reduction twice, effectively. It has really started to add up so thought I would take it a bit further and try and save some more this year!

I do surveys and do my best to maximise nectar points but will see if I can work a bit harder as I never seem to see the money saved!

I look forward to an interesting year!

Hi

Count me in - This is definitely going to be a challenge.
I've just done an online food shop and saved £3.85 by using some vouchers so I'm going to pop that money into an account.

Thanks for the challenge!

Slow and steady wins the race

I've just finished getting my spreadsheet sorted out so it looks in order and is set out how i want it
Next job is to sort out the bookmarks on my browser to be in the same order so it all follows on

Cally - What is Giff Gaff on your ideas list. I have a Giff Gaff sim card and occasionally it tells me I have some credit, but I don't know why or how to access the money - can you help?
