I was clearing out “the drawer” you know the one we all have 😬 and came across an old nectar card. It was a faff to get the app and update the details but I’m so glad I did! £55 on the card. Check old loyalty cards peeps!!! You never know x

Wow, that is a fab find! Spend it quickly just in case they ditch the scheme. x

I checked my Co-op loyalty card and even though I know I had about £40 saved up on it, because I hadn’t shopped in there for over a year (cos my Dad got ill and died), it had all been wiped off!! The buggers. So if you have a Co-op card, don’t go a year without a transaction.

My other tip is this. Sometimes you want a small cheap item from Amazon but to get their free delivery you have to have at least £25 in your basket. So search on eBay for the item you want…loads of ebay sellers advertise Amazon items on there with just a little mark up on top, then when you order it from them, they have it sent it to you through their Prime account.

If you do tesco online groceries regularly, remember to check for your clubcard vouchers on your account. I just looked today as I hadn't had an email from them for what felt like ages - and there was £13 of clubcard vouchers dated August.... I definitely hadn't had an email reminder.
Ideally they should load them directly into customers' online checkout areas so you never miss them... but I guess companies rely on a chunk of people not noticing or checking.

We wanted a bank card for the eldest for a little more independence/experience budgeting but didn't want to pay the fee with Go Henry etc and stumbled across Hyper Jar. You need an adult account as like a feeder account but it's all free. The child can then have a card and use the app to create different jars to save for things (parents can view all of this plus spend) It's been brilliant for us.

Also remember with Nectar to go on the app and select which products you are going to buy to get more points.

I buy Sainsburys toothbrushes which are 25p for two!! I like to change my toothbrush monthly rather than the recommended 3 months. They are pretty damn good.
