Dell voucher code 2008-05-25 01:02:08 We’ve been singing the praises of the Asus laptops recently, for great value at low prices, but this Dell voucher code focuses the eye firmly back on one of the big names in home computing. Dell is probably the biggest and best trusted name in direct-to-you desktops and laptops (I am a little biased as [...]

Saving money by living with the children 2008-05-24 06:30:13 Now this is a tip to either gladden the heart of fill the same with dread. But saving money by living with the children not only has significant tax benefits, it also has the plus that it has stood the test of time as a tax avoidance tip, unlike many of the others that have [...] Read more:Saving
Easyjet voucher codes 2008 2008-05-26 07:10:22 This is an odd one. The Pack4thecity voucher code from Easyjet keeps cropping up as a suggestion from readers, so I’d be very interested in any feedback from anyone who’s used it successively, or tried to use it with no joy. Easyjet launched the Pack4thecity promotion during 2007 and it was originally slated to expire [...]
Icesave savings accounts 2008-05-26 06:46:26 ‘The base rate is five per cent and likely to fall…’ So starts the sales pitch from Landsbanki of Rykjavik for its one-year fixed rate Icesave savings account, fixed at a very interesting 7.01% AER for a year. Whether the base rate will fall from 5% is open to conjecture of course. The Bank of [...]

Megatrain.com for cheap UK rail fares 2008-05-27 02:03:02 The pricing on the UK rail system has been a mess for years now, with different prices offered at different times on the same routes, the same trains even. British trains are also notoriously expensive - it still seems a travesty to me that when I’m costing a flight from London to Edinburgh or Glasgow [...] Read more:fares

Charges for using credit cards abroad 2008-05-29 02:16:13 I’m a big fan of credit
cards used the right way. Pay them off every month and you get around 56 days free credit. Get a zero per cent card and you can get months of interest free purchases. And a credit card of course gives you additional protection, insurance on your purchases and against [...]

How do credit card cheques work 2008-05-28 04:35:12 You might have thought with the credit
crunch, personal debt in the UK rising above GDP for the first time and millions of UK householders facing major financial problems in the years to come - that Britain’s lenders might have developed a whisper of conscience, caution and common sense.
But an unsolicited letter that dropped through [...] Read more:cheques
Unclaimed pensions 2008-05-28 04:31:43 Get the best pension you can and get your unclaimed money. The government announced in November 2007 that more than 2.5bn pounds of pension credit was going unclaimed - and almost half of all pensioners are entitled to the Credit, which tops the weekly pension up to £119.05 for single people and £181.70 for couples. [...] Read more:pensions
Avoid risk and get high interest rate accounts 2008-05-28 04:30:00 You’re trying to eke out your savings for as long as possible, so get the highest possible interest rate account. Don’t be diverted by tax free savings if you’re not a tax payer anyway. And what you’re after in retirement is safety not risk. You don’t want to be moving your money into volatile shares [...] Read more:Avoid
What benefits are pensioners entitled to 2008-05-28 04:25:16 Some tips for older listeners - get everything you’re entitled to. Despite nonsense in the Sun and the Daily Mail about benefits scroungers, the REAL scandal in Britain is that most of us DON’T claim what we’re owed, and pensioners can be very backward at coming forward. But the social security system is a maze [...]
Play.com voucher codes expiring May 2008 2008-05-28 03:10:23 Play.com is, of course, one the UK’s biggest retailers of online CDs, DVDs and more recently mobile phones, books and games consoles … a budding Amazon.com perhaps. Adding interest are these Play.com voucher codes expiring May 2008. Play.com’s particular wrinkle is that it is based in Jersey, allowing it to bring you the latest DVDs [...]
Best mortgage deals are no longer through brokers 2008-05-30 09:43:54 I would always have advised anyone looking for a mortgage deal to go through a broker. They may have deals they want to push, and have fees to be paid (if not directly by you then certainly indirectly as it’s always the end user who ends up paying somehow) but these costs were always far [...]
Hamper gift vouchers 2008-05-30 08:34:43 We’ve stumbled across this bizarrely good deal from Scottish Gourmet Hampers, offering Hamper Gift Vouchers which you can have sent to friends. You do, of course, have to make a purchase yourself but having done so can choose vouchers of between £30 and £250 to spend on either of the two websites - Scottish Gourmet [...]
British are borrowing less and saving more 2008-06-02 06:58:44 There’s an old Chinese curse along the lines of ‘may you live in interesting times’, the argument being, of course, that after our brief flaming teenage years of partying much too hard, driving too fast and embracing risk, most of us want good, solid, tedious certitude in our lives. Steadily rising house prices, enough inflation [...] Read more:British

How do penny shares work? 2008-06-04 06:08:40 My article this week looks at penny shares
, which have been cropping up since time immemorial as a brilliant ground floor stock market opportunity.
In fact, I’m looking at an advertisement for a tip sheet now which talks about penny shares they have punted over the last year, some of which have doubled, even tripled in [...]
Start early and make a financial plan 2008-06-04 06:06:30 This of course underpins everything you do. It may sound glib, but there’s a lot of truth in the phrase fail to plan and you plan to fail. Make financial and life plans of where you want to be at 25, 30 or 35. Life will intervene and trip you up. An unexpected job offer [...] Read more:Start
Buying property at 18 2008-06-04 06:00:16 Impossible you cry… haven’t you heard about the credit crunch and the death of the first time buyer? To which I’d reply that people told me it was impossible to buy a property
at 18 when I was 18… and mortgages were MUCH harder to come by back then in the early eighties. Building societies [...] Read more:Buying
Think about retirement at an early age 2008-06-04 05:59:26 Yes I know that’s 40 something years away and you just want to party, but I’m serious. You probably don’t have spare cash to dripfeed into investments… so create some. If it means taking an evening job to create £50 a month to put into a pension, then do it. A little now could mean [...] Read more:retirement

Robert Dyas voucher codes 2008-06-06 05:27:00 As recession starts to bite and fewer of us move home, we reckon home improvements and DIY are going to come to the fore. B&Q, Homebase and the like may well be talking gloomily about the UK economy and spending in the shops, but the Brits are always going to want to fix up their [...] Read more:Robert
Getting the best mortgage deals 2008-06-06 05:13:54 Getting the best mortgage deals has never been harder, or more pressing. There’s a blizzard of economic data at the moment, and much of it apparently contradictory - the UK is simultaneously suffering inflation and deflation, Bank of England base lending rate has come down (though it was left unchanged on 5 June 2008) while [...]
Currentcodes.com and wow-coupons.com 2008-06-05 12:44:12 A couple of great coupon code sites with an emphasis on both UK and US product, currentcodes.com and wow-coupons.com, are excellent for anyone looking on discounts when shopping at UK and US stores. The major USP of currentcodes.com is that it has a permanent staff, who spend all their time online tracking down the latest [...]
Britons living standards will fall 2008-06-09 02:28:26 A former Bank of England majordomo has warned that Britons
will be going back to the seventies, and we’re not talking T-Rex albums and the upcoming Sweeney movie. Willem Buiter, one of Gordon Brown’s first appointees to the Bank, said Britons face a “painful couple of years”, and urged the Monetary Policy Committee to raise [...]
