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

My top articles this week

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

Whether you're using your time stuck at home for a clear out or just looking for some extra cash, you might be tempted to start with your physical media.

I've taken a look at the different services which will buy your old books, games, CDs and DVDs to see which one - if any - will make it worth your time.

2. What benefits and financial help are you entitled to?

Benefits aren't just for the unemployed or the sick. There's support available for a broad variety of people - from parents to the bereaved, from low-earners to carers, from the young to the old.

Here's how to find out if you can claim anything.

3. How to make a budget

I'm going back to basics here to take you through building not just one main budget, but also how to then use it to keep your spending on track.

4. My money makeover part 3: Cut your broadband bill

Even during lockdown most of you will be able to switch to a new provider as its only home visits by engineers which aren't happening. Check this out now so you can save hundreds of pounds each year.

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.

Plus, it's worth following me on Instagram where I post any extra deals which come too late for the newsletter.

1. £55 off noise cancelling headphones

You can stack a couple of promotions right now to get Sony's WH-1000MX3 headphones for £214 rather than £269, saving £55.

Yes, they are expensive, but they are really good. I've been tracking the price for a while and this is the cheapest I've ever seen them.

2. £1 credit for delayed Amazon orders

Amazon Prime members who choose to forfeit next day delivery can now get £1 credit added to their account - and you can do this on every order over £10.

3. Three months Audible for 99p a month

Personally I don't listen to audiobooks but if you do or want to give it a try then Amazon Prime customers can take advantage of this offer for three months at 99p a month, rather than the normal £7.99. If you don't have Prime you can still try it free for one month.

4. Nationwide 5% savings last chance

I'm going to keep telling you about this until the end of the month as I think everyone should open up one of these current accounts for their savings.

As long as you haven't already had this offer you can open up a new account in the next few weeks and still get 5% for one year on savings up to £2,500. You can also get a joint account with someone else to have an extra account.

5. Cheap Night In picks

Another very quick rundown of some of the cheap and free films, TV shows, theatre productions and music sets you can watch from home this weekend.
