Ways to save and get free money

Want to win money?

Apart from looking to win money from website prize competitions to help with your finances, you can also turn to the following to make some big savings:

cut down on any debts you may have and avoid paying large credit card interest rates. Talk to your bank about getting a loan to pay them off, or shop around for a card offer which gives cheap rates on transferred balances.
pay all your bills by direct debit. They can then get paid on time, you don't have to carry the money on you and this measure can help you budget more efficiently. Plus you can often gain discounts by paying this way.
make sure your savings are sitting in the best interest bearing account. Think carefully about when you might need your savings money and then place your savings in the highest interest account to suit your financial needs.
if feasible, make use of ISA accounts. You can save up to £3,000 in cash in a single tax year and your interest on this cash is tax-free. There are also shares and life cover options on offer with an ISA on a yearly basis. Talk to a financial adviser, particularly about the last option.
check regularly that you are getting all the allowances that you're entitled to which includes child credits, if you have kids. Citizens Advice Bureaux can help you to check this.
cut down on things that are not vital such as magazines, eating out and think more carefully about what you buy for your wardrobe.

All of these measures can help you save a lot of money.
