A will can be made cheaply, and sometimes for free (see our Cheap Wills guide). So do you have a will and if not, why not? Please select ALL of the options that apply to you.

Haggling can provide big savings – on anything from digital TV and broadband to credit cards, breakdown cover and insurance. Each year we try to gauge the success rates of those who have done it.

(PS: Yes, we know splitting the bill is a valid option too, but that's a poll for another day…) Imagine Sam asks Alex to dinner on a first date, offering to pay. When the bill comes, Sam whips out a 2for1 voucher – what advice would you give Alex?
