Go to China? I'm going to move this to Money and Finance. :smile:

Check for discounts online or look on sites like wish. You can also find out when your local store does it's reductions and put reduced foods in the freezer (5p bread, 20p steaks etc). Some places now sell "wonky" veg which is just veggies that don't look great (bent carrots, lumpy potatoes). Some sites like amazon have a section for reduced/ damaged items. Some places will even send people stuff for free in return for reviews.

Download apps like Checkout Smart and Shopmium. They have a small selection of offers or freebies on supermarket items. Buy the items first from the shops mentioned, keep the receipt and then upload to the app. You will receive the cash back.

Shopmium is a great shout, at checkout smart you need £20 to cashout without a fee, at shopmium you don’t.

Yes, with Checkout Smart you need to have made £20 to withdraw to your Paypal without a fee. In my opinion, there are more freebies with Checkout Smart so you can quickly reach the £20 and also, some of the offers are similar to offers available on Clicksnap, another similar kind of app. Freebies in the past include free cider, non-alcoholic lager, free soft drinks, free yoghurt, free sausages, free baby food and free desserts.

With Shopmium, you can share referral links with your friends and family so they can get an exclusive free reward and you can earn credit to apply to future cash back requests.

I would recommend downloading all of these apps to maximise the amount of offers available to you. Some of the selection may be quite limited, but you might discover a new product you like!

Another way to save money is to look for voucher codes - the Voucher Codes website has a good range. Sometimes signing up to a company's email subscription list or making a new account will allow you to get a special discount. Also, if you are studying, check out to see what is available in terms of student discount e.g. you can get a free McFlurry, Chicken Mayo or Cheeseburger when you buy a meal at McDonalds, or you can get 10% (or sometimes 20%) off your shop at Superdrug instore.
