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


My top articles this week


1. New Clubcard discounts

From next week Tesco is giving Clubcard members access to special discounts on groceries and more as part of the supermarket's 100 years celebration.


But it comes at the same time as other changes to the scheme. Uber - one of my top picks for your points - is scheduled to disappear from the boost offer in a few months, while Tesco Mobile has been added to the roster.


Here's more about the new offers, and my pick of where you should spend your points.


2. Monzo bank review

People rave about this app-based bank, but do its innovative features that help you with budgeting mean it's better than banks which offer cashback on bills or interest on savings? I've taken a look and the basic account and the new premium Monzo Plus version announced late last week.


Oh, and I've shared how to get a free £5 credit for signing up!


3. Is it worth selling old books, DVDs, games and CDs online?

If you've got stacks of films, novels and more that you just don't use anymore, you could try selling them to one of a number of resale sites.


But is it worth it? I've compared CEX, We Buy Books, Ziffit, Music Magpie and more.

Shop Smart Save Money is back

At 8pm every Thursday until 4th June I'll be back on Channel 5 sharing tips, deals and tricks to save you money. If you enjoyed the last series, I think you'll like this one even more as I've been given the chance to dig a little deeper and give viewers more detail on how they can get the most from their money. You can also watch it on the My5 catch up service. You can read more about the series here.

The top deals this week


I only share deals and special offers on the blog which I think are really good value - and here they are for you too. First some newbies in a bit more detail, then some you might have missed from previous weeks. Click the red titles or blue links for more information.


1. Get an Echo Dot speaker for £15.98

Remember that fantastic Spotify/Google Home speaker deal from a few weeks ago? Well now Amazon is doing something very similar.


Sign up to it's Unlimited Music service for £14.99 and you'll be able to claim an Echo Dot (RRP £49.99) for just 99p. Here's how it works.


2. £40 for a new HP printer and a year of ink

Get £15 off a new HP Printer AND get access to a year of free ink via the HP Instant Ink service. Even if you don't need the printer it's a great deal on ink.


3. Boots Advantage bonus points event & Debenhams 15% beauty offer

A couple of good offers to stock up on beauty this weekend, and in the case of Boots a chance to also save on things like car seats and posh Dyson hair driers.


4. Argos' £5 and £10 vouchers are back

A decent time to shop at Argos (if you're going there anyway) as you can get vouchers worth £10 back when you spend £100, and £5 back when you spend £50.


5. 15% off loads at eBay

Another eBay code! This time it's 15% off, and once more includes tech shops Hughes and Crampton and Moore.


If you are thinking of getting a new TV it could be a good opportunity to nab one with this extra discount. As I explained on last week's Shop Smart Save Money, the key is to look for last year's models.
