1. Spare cash due to lockdown? Here’s what you should do with it
A huge number of people are having to borrow to get through lockdown (more on that in a bit), but there are plenty of people who have continued to earn money but hardly spent anything.
So what do you do with this extra cash? Here's are some of the options.
2. How much the Premier League return will cost to watch
In a week live English football will be back on our screens - and you'll be able to watch every single game live across Sky, BT Sport, Amazon and the BBC.
A third of games will be free to view, but you'll need to pay for the others. Here's how to save on each service, and just how much it'll cost to follow your team for the first three fixtures.
3. My £1k money makeover part 11: Cutting the cost of your debts
This is the final part in my series that'll save £1,000 - and it could be a huge saving for you. I've taken a look at clearing your credit cards and debts. These tips include how you can pay less interest, and then that means you'll also pay off the debt faster.

My podcast this week
Episode #127: What to do with spare cash
In this week's episode of Cash Chats I've talked to Damien Fahy from Money to the Masses and Sara Williams from Debt Camel about the options for your spare cash if you've been spending less during lockdown.
The chat was recorded as part of last month's Lockdown Money Live event, and if you missed any you can watch all the sessions here.

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, including a deals of the week video update on Friday.
1. Craft beer savings
Monday is National Beer Day - and with the pubs remaining closed its a good time to try one of the many craft beer clubs or online beer shops.
Here's my pick of the special offers to bring down the cost, including £10 off at Honest Brew and Beer52.
2. 30% off Adidas
Here's a good example why it's always worth a quick online search for voucher codes. I was emailed a 25% off code for Adidas which seemed pretty good - but I found one that's better and offers 30%. Here's how to get the code.
3. Extra discounts on NOW TV with your bank
It's worth checking the bonus offers on your bank or credit card accounts for additional deals on NOW TV - really useful with the return of live sport. I've got 25% off on my Natwest and £5 back on my Amex. Here's more on the latest Sky Sports NOW TV pass deals.
4. 10% or more off iTunes, Foot Locker, Cineworld and more -
This gift card deal at Amazon is while stocks last. There's 10% to 15% off gift cards at iTunes, Foot Locker, Cineworld and a few pubs/restaurant chains. Here's more on the offer.
5. Cheap Night In picks
If you're getting fed up with box set after box set, then my latest rundown of some of the cheap and free films, TV shows, theatre productions and music sets you can watch from home over the next seven days.
This week it includes Oscar Best Picture winner Parasite (and how to see it for free), virtual tours of Yosemite and Amerstam's Rijksmuseum, the return of PGA Golf and a few TV, music and theatre picks.
