Check out your online banking for options and you could be earning back a percentage of what you spend. Some of these may be small percentages but it is big purchases are possible. You might accrue a tidy amount over the year.
Watch the big brands – The run-up to Christmas is a great time for money saving discounts, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but be careful. These aren’t always the lowest prices so it can pay to watch the price of whatever it is you are after. Brands often have Spring and Summer sales too and Amazon Prime Day. Amazon Prime Day is for Prime members and let’s you access great deals for two days.

This might not work with the big retailers or brands – why should it? They’re already doing discounts and offers. However, if you are planning a purchase from a smaller or owner-managed business, you may be able to negotiate a good discount – or get more for your money. It’s not haggling but it is how business used to be done and many retailers don’t mind you asking. Be realistic and pleasant and you could surprise yourself with your savings. Good businesspeople want to seal the deal, for you to tell your friends and for you to come back again and again.
