Cheapest online purchase

I have to spend a minimum of 1p on my Barclaycard every month to still get my balance transfer interest free. I have to keep purchases to a minimum because my monthly minimum payment only pays the interest free balance so higher spending will incur more chargeable interest. Sorry if I'm not explaining myself very well.

Anyway for the past couple of years I have bought a T-Mobile PAYG sim card every month for 50p and for this I got £3 back from Quidco which was brilliant for my needs. Unfortunately T-Mobile only do free PAYG sim cards now which are of no use to me.

So basically I just need to find something I can buy (preferably online) with my credit card for the cheapest possible price. It doesn't matter what it is.

Any suggestions please?

    Hmm - the cheapest I can think of off the top of my head would be Tesco's Sim £2.47 free delivery , but just after Christmas I bought some foam things to go in a shooter gun thing for a quid, with free delivery, and got a free gift worth a fiver but I can't for the life of me remember the company!

    How about using Ebay to buy one of these links (scams) for cheap good like TV's etc oranything else. Register your card on Paypal and accordingly
  • Dont know if you have kids or not but yesterday i bought a Shrek and Donkey bubble bath from Play.Com for £1.99 which is free delivery and a nice present as well.
  • What about postage via the Royal mail website - I think you can just buy the online equivalent of a single stamp.

    Thank you all for your suggestions. A 24p second class stamp wins for me. Have registered the card so should be nice and quick to use once a month. Might even use the stamp sometimes!

    I have to spend £1/month for my 0%.

    I get a litre of petrol at the automatic pump at Asda.
