Why are buyers paying more for €s than the face value?

I know this used to be the case when people did not want certain goverment bodies seeing money in their bank accounts, they would just leave any paypal money they had in their account, then use it to buy vouchers/euros/whatever they needed. Saved having to declare cash.

Here's a few suggestions in no particular, which have worked for me, in addition to all the helpful advice already posted by others:

1) limit spending on non-essentials or treats by only going out with enough money for what you need to spend, and don't take the credit cards; even better, if you're not planning to spend anything, don't take any money with you - some people find that idea terrifying, but I found it very liberating.
2) try the NSD Challenge, makes you think about the little things you spend money on and perhaps didn't notice; this is the current one
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4908991
you can sign up for April's nearer the time
3) clear the existing freezer and cupboard stocks as much as you can, to make the most of your food stores, and at the end of it you will have a 'clean slate' to restock exactly how you want and hopefully cost-effectively; though you might be eating some strange food combinations near the end of the clear-out! Have a look at the Eating Out of the Freezer and Cupboards Challenge
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4798135
but (with respect to the posters there) it is a lot quieter than here; so you could always apply some of the lessons from there, but post on here, for encouragement/help
4) following on from (3), draw up an inventory of the freezer stock and food cupboard stock; print it out and stick it to the front of the freezer and cupboards; and keep a copy with you for shopping and meal planning
5) do a meal plan for a week, or two weeks, or however long you can manage; to start with, use the existing food stocks to plan meals. There are some good recipe finder websites where you can key in specific ingredients that you want to use up
http://www.foodinaminute.co.nz/
(suggests branded ingredients but you can replace with other brands, or home made)
http://www.supercook.com/
6) batch cook as much as you can, in advance; you can portion up and freeze, once there is space in the freezer of course; I do this particularly for sauces etc - I've got some good, cheap recipes for pasta sauce, pizza sauce, and chilli, which I can post if you want
7) make as many meals and foods as you can at home; a slow cooker is helpful; the only foodstuff I've found that is more expensive to make at home is pesto (due to cost of pine nuts), everything else is cheaper in my experience - plus you know exactly what has gone into it
8) buy fruit and veg in season, as it's usually the cheapest; plan your meals round what's in season
9) keep an eye on the Lidl and Aldi fruit/veg offers, and plan meals round those
10) use cheap ingredients for expensive ingredients in recipes; A Girl Called Jack has a brilliant blog post about this
http://agirlcalledjack.com/2014/01/14/cheap-replacements-for-fancy-pants-ingredients/
which should be learnt by heart; in fact, her website is super-good for ultra-cheap recipes
11) don't go shopping without a shopping list, and stick to it (if you're going out to shop, work out what the shopping will roughly cost and just take enough money to pay for it); and don't go shopping when you're hungry!
12) if you eat a lot of bread, consider a breadmaker; secondhand, of course! You can get them on fleabay for £10 or less for 'collection only', or try freecycle; you can also use it to for pizza dough etc
13) (...unlucky for some!) someone else will have to advise on cost effective meat and fish ideas, as I don't eat either:)

Some brilliant advice there, JB, thanks. Don't forget the coupons.

There are several young ladies in my local who know that I am extremely dodgy and are happy to assist.:D:D

I also use the ss when I don't have any apgs. Speeds things up no end..:)
