Christmas Savings Card – budgeting tool idea
So we have less than 80 days to Christmas and I’m already thinking about Xmas lunch and gift ideas, so time to set some money aside.
Today I heard about the Asda Money Christmas Savers Card, which acts as a saving tool for Asda customers to prepare for the cost of Christmas. Asda customers can add money onto their card at the checkout each time they shop.
The maximum amount customers are able to load onto their cards is £144. To reward customers for their savings Asda pays a bonus, or interest, onto the card which can be spent however the customer wishes either at Christmas or in the New Year in store. It’s not much, but as a rival says, Every Little Helps:
- For saving £144 – the customer is awarded £6
- For saving

How to avoid paying 5p for a plastic bag
As of 5 October all supermarket plastic bags will cost 5p, even though small ones you get from M&S. Now what’s 5p between friends? Well actually quiet a lot when you think about how that amount mounts up over the year.
There are exceptions, like smaller retailers don’t have to charge, and bags that you get fish or medicine in should be free!
So what is a poor shopper to do to avoid the charge:
Invest in a bag for life
I’ve had my Tesco hessian bags and Tchibo bags for years – they are such good quality. My Sainsburys bags have ripped at the seams, so do check the quality of any bag you buy.
Carry plastic bags with you
I take one with me in my handbag, and always have lots in …

An app that manages your loyalty cards – Loyalive
I have over 15 loyalty cards, so when I recently stumbled upon an app called Loyalive while having a look round the App store, I was a very happy bunny.
It’s a useful addition to any savvy-shoppers phone – storing all your loyalty cards in one place so you can finally empty your purse of unnecessary plastic. The app also helps with keeping track of points and makes it really easy to check what you’re entitled to – anything from vouchers to a mini-break. Plus it’s free to download on iPhone and Android.
While I do collect points, I don’t religiously check my balance, so I had no idea I had been building up so many points over the last few years – £35 on Nectar points which I promptly spent!
Sometimes I feel that …

Do NOT accept your insurance renewal letter – I saved £98
I have been insured with esure for a few years and have built up a 12 year+ no claims discount, so when I received my car insurance renewal letter, it languished on my desk for a few days and then I called them to renew.
We had a lovely chat about any changes to my circumstances and then the nice gentleman gave me the renewal price – £272. Mmmmh, so chancing my arm, as I can’t resist, I reminded him of my no claims discount, loyalty to the firm and how annoying it was that my premium had gone up by £4 over the last year. Here was, in my opinion, his opportunity to give me some money off….even £10 would have made me more inclined not to take an alternative route…….but no – no …
