Your weekly money saving deals and news from money expert Andy Webb

My top articles this week

1. Is Amazon Prime Day any good?

The online giant announced that its annual birthday sale will take place in a few weeks on the 15th and 16th July. Now, this always seems to have the biggest bargains - even more than Black Friday - but is it actually any good? I've looked back at my purchases from last year, as well as some of the headline offers on things like Echo speakers, to see whether they really were decent deals or not.

2. How to refill your water bottle for free

If we finally get a summer (this weekend is looking HOT) then it's handy to know where you can get free water for your reusable bottles. Here I'll show you how to easily find somewhere near you, plus your rights for free tap water in restaurants and bars.

3. The best debit and credit cards to use abroad

If you're planning a summer holiday abroad this is the perfect time to grab a specialist debit or credit card that will allow you to spend fee-free overseas. I've compared the likes of Monzo, Tandem, Halifax and Barclays so you know which one to go for.

The top deals this week

I only share deals and special offers on the blog which I think are really good value. Click the red titles or blue links for more information.

1. 90p movie rentals including Lego Movie 2 - ENDS SUNDAY

Streaming service has 90 moves for 90p including recent releases such as Lego Movie 2, How to Train Your Dragon 3 and Vice. You have 28 days to start watching, so even if you don't have time this weekend it's worth nabbing one now.

2. Two-for-one Odeon tickets for three months - ENDS SUNDAY

A few weeks ago I shared an offer to get two Legoland tickets for £23 via a Times+ subscription. Also part of the Times+ service is a 2-4-1 code to use every week at Odeon on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, and a free movie rental every month.

Well it's your last chance to sign up for a three month trial for £3. This deal ends Sunday when the trial is likely to return to eight weeks for £8.

3. John Lewis, Made.com, Habitat and more sales

Our builders have finally finished (well almost) which means these sales have been good timing to pick up some furniture and home extras we need. We've picked up a huge chopping board and hallway bench from Habitat at 50% off and a nice sideboard from John Lewis. Frustratingly I also spotted £150 off the dining table we got delivered from Made just a few weeks ago! There are also some good tech and appliance deals, including Kenwood kMix stand mixers for around £200.

4. 20% off big retailers at eBay - ENDS THURSDAY

Yet another eBay code, this time including retailers such as AO, Superdry and Crampton & Moore. There's a max discount of £75.

5. Last chance to get 3% on savings for a year - ENDS SUNDAY

You only have until Sunday to sign up to the savings app Chip to get 3% interest which will last for 12 months. With the code CLEVER3 new users can get 3%, and you can add on up to 2% more by getting friends to use your personal referral code. You need to download the app to use Chip.

6. RSB £175 bank switch offer - ENDS FRIDAY

If you're thinking of switching bank you won't get much better than this offer from RBS. You'll get £125 in a few months for the initial switch, and another £50 if you stay a year and use your debit card at least once a month. I'd go for the Reward account which gives cashback on your bills.
