Jim Skelton posted this in the free USA flight with £24.99 bottle of wine at Sainsbury thread. I loved it so i thought i'd see if anyone else had similar stories of multiple moneysaving.

"It’s a great offer for me as I’m a single traveler and I am not too tied as to when I can take time off. Got the wine for £25 (which indecently is drinkable. Not quite as full flavored as a riojo and I’m not totally sure about the screw top!) I’m taking advantage of another offer advertised on this site that is sign up for a first direct bank account and get £25 cash. Which means that I end up getting 6 bottles of half decent wine and a return flight to the USA for nothing. How good is that?"

OK, I already posted on the insurance board, but does this qualify?

I used Martin's method and got £130 savings on car insurance for a new car with Sainsbury Bank. They have a new car provision in their policy that is as good as the top-level GAP insurance for the first year. So I don't have to buy GAP insurance (it isn't worth it for only years two and three) so I saved £350 on GAP insurance.

Find something in Tesco that is incorrectly priced - quite simple if you keep your eyes pealed. Pay for it using internet vouchers - go to the cs desk to get an overcharged refund, keep product. Then next day take it back for a refund!! All above board and a wonderful way to make money using company policy if you have the nerve!! :-/

I had been thinking about getting the Minolta Z1 digital camera for some time and watched as it came down in price in Boots from £300 to £230 and then £200.

I spent £158 on 200 hair shots from the Natural Collection range and with the 100 bonus points per item that meant I had enough to pay for the camera outright!

The cashier looked rather shocked.

As I get cashback on my credit card, I saved another pound or two as well.

Oh, and I did accumulate several '£100 off a holiday' vouchers along the way, although I don't know whether they'll prove useful.

The hair shots are being distributed between my girlfriend, both sets of our sisters and mums and my female co-workers, making me a very popular man. 8)

But most importantly, I tipped everyone I know (and readers of the provincial newspaper I work for) off about the Natural Collection offer at an early stage - hopefully saving a few people a few pounds and spreading the MoneySaving gospel!
