Forum: Money Saving / Making Ideas

I had somebody contact me about selling one of my URLs yesterday. The projected earnings are about $2,920 per day if it is Number One on Google's first page but the site will need a lot of work over a length of time to make it worth anywhere near that. Money earning sites usually sell for...

Hi all, I just had an very unsatisfactory experience with Amazon. I ordered a WiFi SD card in March and it didn't arrive. I personally do not like all the systems/messages/methods they then put into play to deal with that. I have got my refund and will be buying elsewhere as they now...

Hi all, Our supermarkets have been shown up for not taking enough care with the food they sell us. I think they are also generally ripping us off really really badly at present, and I'd like to urge all here not to fall for it. I'm talking of the prices at the local supermarket. Sadly an...

After I retired from the police I did a bit of mystery shopping. I gave it up when the fees went down and I got a job at the local grammar school. I decided to have another go and did two shops locally on Friday. I'm doing another tomorrow and a fourth when I go to the Peak District for a D of E...

Anybody else get slapped by Penguin? Nigel

Hi all, This seems to be doing the rounds in various forms...the moral is not to send money to anyone based on messages like this, of course... SCAM MESSAGE Hope you get this on time, I made a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland and had my bag stolen from me with my cash and personal effects...

Hi everyone, I'm thinking ahead about my new garden for next year and the amount of watering I am probably going to have to do as the ground was bone dry and like dust when we arrived early August. I have a small stream at a much lower level than the garden and was thinking what a pity that...

Hi all, An offer I just saw.. and one I often use when they give it.. 50% off Pizza Hut delivery for orders of £35 or more. This is only until this Sunday, 31st of July it seems. The code you enter on the www.pizzahut.co.uk Web site when checking out is: EMAP9W2AS This means you can...

Hi all, I ordered a Tivo box from Virgin Media this week and when I did so they offered an interesting phone deal. A Blackberry Curve, 100 mins and 500 texts per month, with 1GB Web. They talked of a 24 month contract and of me being an XL level subscriber. That seemed to make a substantial...

Hi all, Just a line to say good luck to all here who are entering the EuroMillions Lottery this evening - particularly the syndicate made up of a number of keen ukexpert members... the prize for tonight's Tuesday EuroMillions is said to be around £117,000,000 - neat! The syndicate based...

Hi all, I've noticed that some of the offers on a Web site seem to be quite keen at present.. so I thought I'd share the info. They have things like bird tables and bird baths and so on.. but not just items like those, even things like electric donut makers seem to be near free...:) So,...

Someone sent me this info today... so I thought I'd share it and see if anyone had any comments/thoughts...I can't swear it is correct and corrections and additions are of course welcome. My thought is that we are being taxed to death, and that UK tax rates are WAY too high... I don't know how...

Anyone making any money from the World Cup? I know some firms were giving discounts based on how many goals England score, anyone on such a deal? I bought 4 tins of Sure for Men a while back and they got me teams in the World Cup Finals.. I got 2 x Uraguay, 1 x Chile, and 1 x North Korea....

..I'm a little unsure about all the TV offers that seem to be about at present. Lots of electrical firms seem to be offering 'the latest TVs at great prices' and so on. I've noticed what seems to me to be a scam in all of this... The sets on offer do not seem all that keenly priced...

The government has just started a Feed in Tariff payment scheme for microgeneration of electricity. I have looked at the numbers involved. If I borrow the £17,000 to pay for a 3.96 kw solar PV system I will earn a profit. Over the 25 year life of the agreement I should get about £40000 (nett) as a...

Hi all, Costco is a club based shop chain you can join to save money.. as most here probably know. I thought I'd mention it as I was again today amazed at a saving I made there. I decided to try an Actifry machine, as it sounded like fun. However, the prices at Curry's (£174.99),...

Hi all, A while back we discussed here a site Kitkat setup where you could buy prizes with points. I got into it as the kids eat them, and we got a number of free gifts from them, even including a small TV. I now see Coke are doing something similar. The site is here: ...

As mentioned in another thread, I have written my autobiography. Now that I have an ISBN number attached to it, I am starting to promote it. The lady who owns the local book shop has said that she will stock it and offered a book signing. Once that is arranged, I will go to the local newspaper for...
