Follow these tips to save back some of the £151 lost by workers on a Leap Year — plus book your Hols From £9.50
TOMORROW is Leap Day . . . but most workers won’t be jumping for joy.
Those on a full-time salary lose out by £151, on average, grafting an extra day for the same pay.
Undo some of the damage by taking full advantage of those extra 24 hours to save more . . .
SUPERMARKET SAVINGS: We all have our favourite supermarket but what are you getting from your loyalty? If you haven’t signed up for a loyalty card, spend a few minutes today becoming a member. For example, with Tesco Clubcard you earn a point for every pound you spend, adding up to vouchers you can spend. Or double them up and put them towards vouchers for partners including Italian restuarant chain Prezzo. There, every 50p you have in Clubcard vouchers is worth a tasty £1.50.
BANK IT: Controlling your spending is easier with a Monzo account. Use it to establish monthly budgets and set up saving pots. You can also round up purchases up to the nearest pound, with the extra cash going into your savings pot. Sign up today and see how much you can save.
KER-CHING!: I love cashback sites such as topcashback.co.uk and quidco.com, I have saved so much money simply by signing up and buying the things I normally would through them. For example, Topcashback members can earn up to ten per cent cashback on Boots purchases. Just shop via topcashback.co.uk.
SAVVY SAVERS: Don’t forget to sign up to Sun Savers too. By collecting the special codes in your favourite newspaper, you can collect free fivers, enjoy great days out and hunt for exclusive prizes. All you need is 28 codes and to get your first fiver. Easy as that.
