CAMPAIGN OF THE WEEK Donate second-hand kids' books to spread the power of reading. Young people in many families don't have their own books, whether that's through parents' lack of time or confidence to help them, or simply because books are too expensive. The Children's Book Project charity is looking for donations of 'gently used' children's books to distribute to kids who need them most. If you'd like to help, find out where you can donate. |
THIS WEEK'S POLL When did you last make a landline call? To get broadband at home, you often need to have a landline as well. But with many people increasingly turning to video calls or messaging services to communicate, this week we want to know when you last used your landline to make or receive a call. Let us know in this week's poll. Younger MoneySavers are more likely to approve of using a restaurant voucher on a first date. Last week, in our traditional Valentine's poll, we asked if it's OK to use a voucher on a first date, and 2,600 of you responded. And we saw a generation gap, as while over 60% of under-25s viewed using a voucher as a positive, only a third of over-65s saw it the same way. Interestingly, it was older women who were the most likely to disapprove. See the full Valentine's voucher poll results. |
MONEY MORAL DILEMMA Is it OK to claim free food to feed my guinea pigs?

FREE SAMPLES, AUDIOBOOKS AND... GUARD DOGS? HOW SMART SPEAKERS CAN BE MONEYSAVING... That's all for this week, but before we go... A Forumite asked for some questions to put to her Amazon smart speaker. And fellow Forumites came back with some great MoneySaving suggestions, including: "Alexa, what's free from Audible?" for the latest free audiobooks, "Alexa, send me a sample..." for freebies and "Alexa, add [GROCERY ITEM] to my shopping list", to help stick to a list. And one poster even described how the speakers could be used as a cheap way to deter intruders - including setting timers for lights and playing barking noises while you're out. Find more ideas and add your own in the Smart speakers can be MoneySaving Forum discussion. We hope you save some money, stay safe, |
