Men trump women when it comes to money saving (apparently)
I saw the results of an interesting survey today…. and I had a good laugh at them. Men are better at saving money than women, apparently. Not in my house they aren’t! But then again, are we women more tempted to spend money on frivolous shopping sprees and guys really only get what they need? Our smaller purchases may lead to more money spent than our fellas, who make a few big purchases a year….
The comments about Londoners being best at saving is probably because they are desperately saving for the huugggge deposits needed to buy any property there. I also know plenty of people who run out of money before pay day, and who don’t even have a handle on their finances, so can relate to the points the survey results cover.
Anyway, …

Cheaper way to get new glasses
Finding cheaper specs is important, especially when you consider how expensive they are.
I started wearing glasses about two years ago and bought two designer pairs from Vision Express at almost £300. Then I went to specialists as I trusted the name, but when I went with my son to get his eyes tested recently, I asked about replacing the lenses on my glasses, and they said no! I headed to Tesco, where I got a free eye test, and asked them if they would replace the lenses of my gorgeous designer glasses, and they said no.
So I’ve done some digging and this is how to get cheaper glasses:
1. See if you are entitled to NHS Optical vouchers
My kids are entitled to them and you may be entitled to them if …

What is AirBNB?
I’ve been looking at travelling more this year, but even after cheap flight deals, the price of accommodation puts me off.
So I’ve been looking at Airbnb – it’s an online community marketplace that connects people looking to rent their homes with people who are looking for accommodation.
Property owners are called hosts who list and rent out their unused spaces, and travelers search for and book accommodation worldwide. The service may have started appealing to budget-conscious tourists, but now even business travelers are using the service.
I already offer my parking space through JustPark where strangers park on my drive, so I see the appeal in making money from unused spaces and from a travellers point of view, a cheaper place to sleep than a hotel. Anyway, I’ve done a little bit of digging… -

9 ways to make your grocery shopping cheaper
From cash back apps, to making lists, here are some tips to making your grocery shopping cheaper.
Plan ahead and write a list
