FREE Bonfire Night celebrations
A chill in the air, the squeal and bang of rockets, the white-hot fizz of sparklers, the lingering bonfire smell on your coat the following day. Bonfire Night is nothing short of magic, and the good news is it doesn't have to cost a bomb.
Get 'paid' to walk using free apps
Walking has great value – not just to your health, or to the environment, but also monetary value. This is because there are a plethora of free apps (or ones you can use if you have certain health/life insurance plans) that effectively pay you to walk.
How to bag a cheap, sustainable Christmas jumper... from only £3
Jumpers are for life, not just for Christmas, but most of us only wear our most garish festive get-up for one or two days a year, then feel pressure to buy a new one the following year. That's neither MoneySaving nor good for the planet, so what can we do about it? I have a few ideas...
£20 off running shoes when you recycle your old ones
If you're a runner, you probably fall into one of two camps – the 'shoes stack' camp, where you rack up multiple pairs, or the 'run in the same shoes until they disintegrate' camp.

Fitbit MoneySaving tips & tricks

Children of the 80s will remember the highlight of summer was when the make-your-own ice lollies mould came out of storage. But they were bulky, hard to clean, and took ages to freeze, so - wanting to avoid plastic packaging - I've taken a look at more modern examples.
Can you find cheap post-Christmas chocs? Eg, 25p Giant Smarties tube, 50p Cadbury selection box
Christmas may be over for another year, but there’s no need to feel glum because the supermarkets are now slashing prices on festive treats to shift leftover stock, so don't be choco-late!
£3 prosecco, £7ish champagne via Tesco online 'glitch' - but will it work for you? - EXPIRED
It's been two years since we last saw a decent prosecco or champagne deals stack (where you combine multiple offers to save the most money). Yet finally, there's a new trick in town just in time for Christmas party season - great if you’re stocking up. Though I can’t guarantee it’ll work for everyone…
How I made a £35 Christmas hamper with the ‘wow’ of a Fortnum & Mason one (and you could do it for even less)
‘Tis the season to fill trolleys, and when Christmas bells ring and shop tills ding it's very easy to find yourself tempted to overspend. So when I decided to give hampers as gifts this year, I set myself the challenge of assembling a Champagne-style selection on a Prosecco budget...
How I saved 60% on a year’s worth of make-up by hunting down the best Black Friday deal
Black Friday isn’t just about discounted gadgets – it can be useful for stocking up on everyday items you know you’d buy anyway at the absolute cheapest price. So come shopping with me, and I’ll show you how a Deals Hunter shops when it’s Black Friday…
