BLOG: How to nab multiple bank switch bonuses
When it rains, it pours... There have been five new bank switching bonuses in the last month after nothing since March. Though one offer has already ended, in total you can get £375 via four switches - but the time to get them all is tight - and not without risks. Here's how to get as much of the free cash as you can.
BLOG: The mobile network hack to save you hundreds of pounds
There are dozens of mobile phone networks but only four different signals (EE, O2, Vodafone and Three). The rest all "piggyback" on the big four. It means you don't need to worry about getting signal by moving away. Here's more on how they work, and whether it's always a good idea to ditch and switch.
BLOG: The foods you can freeze, and the ones you can't
I hate food waste so my freezer is always stacked with leftovers and yellow sticker reductions from the supermarket. And there's a lot more you can safely freeze than you'd realise. Here's a list of a few you might not know about.
PODCAST: Cash Chats #141 - Paying yourself first
This week on the podcast I'm joined by financial advisor and fellow podcaster Pete Matthew to talk about an essential part of building up savings and investments - paying yourself first.
We also talk about when it's worth talking to a financial advisor and when it's fine just to do it yourself.
You can listen via all the normal podcasting routes or over on the blog.
