BLOG: How to cut the cost of your overdraft

Most banks will now be charging around 40% interest on any overdrafts, making it one of the most expensive ways to borrow money! But there are ways to get that down to 0% - including a temporary three month £500 buffer all banks have to give you if you ask.

Here's more on that and the other ways to help you cut the cost and then clear it.

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. Possible free £10 John Lewis discount

Until the 31st August John Lewis is offering people a code worth £10 to spend on anything from the home and garden departments. There's no minimum spend, though it's online only so delivery is only free if you spend £50 or more.

Though it worked for me, my wife and my mum, not everyone seems to be able to use it - it could be that you need to have signed up to the MyJohnLewis scheme (it's free), but it's well worth a go.

2. Tesco 25% off wine deal stack

Head to Tesco and buy six or more wines to save 25%. Plus you can combine this with other discounts. So for example, Villa Maria's Sauvignon Blanc is currently on offer at £7 (down from £9.50). With the 25% saving you'll pay £5.25!

You will need to factor in delivery charges if you can't visit a store in person.

3. Student bank accounts: 0% overdrafts & freebies

If you've got kids heading to university next month then make sure they're getting a student bank account that's going to offer them the best features for the duration of their course.

Here's my pick of 0% overdrafts, freebies and more that they can pick from.

4. £10 Google Mini speaker

Another John Lewis offer. This time spend £50 and you can also get a Google smart speaker for £10 rather than the RRP of £50. It can't be combined with the £10 discount above, but everyone should be able to get the deal.

5. Echo Dot for £21 (Prime) or £25

Or if you'd prefer an Echo speaker, and if you have Amazon Prime and haven't used Amazon Music Unlimited before you should be able to get this smart speaker and a two-month trial of the music service for £20.97. If you don't have Prime you can still get it, but for £4 more. Here's how.
