Hello

I just wondered if these sites help you save money in daily life.  In other words not for big ticket items such as electricals etc..........

thanks in advance

    A few days ago one of the cashback sites offered me £5 cashback on a £5 or more spend - went to browse e-bay for a DVD and they were offering me £5 off a £10 spend - found one I wanted for £10.34 actual cost to me ended up as a 32p profit (£5.34 after the e-bay discount, then £5.18 after normal cashback, then 18p after the £5 extra cashback and finally a 32p profit after getting paid 50p from another site for recording the purchase.
    I have had just over £900 back combining the 2 main sites - none of that is from major purchases or any ongoing contracts.

    I'd recommend also joining Topcashback as one will have offers the other doesn't.  A majority of my purchases have learnt pennies really but I save them up and cash out at Christmas.  Got about £90 sitting in Quidco and £35 on TCB at the moment.

    the clicksnap section (supermarkets) on Quidco is always worth a look  - sometimes the items work out free but mainly a discount (sometimes over 50%) and if it's something you were going to get anyway it's worth the small bother of uploading a receipt (even if you don't buy one of the products you can still enter the competition to win £200 and get 1p for uploading a receipt from one of the supermarkets - think the limit is 20 times a month for this) . There is a similar section on TCB but it is suspended at the moment (covid 19) but the suspension is under review.
