Nominate your ‘tightest’ friend
An online freebie website is calling on the public to nominate their ‘tightest’ friend to be considered for a six month ‘freebie quality checker’ job role, for which both the nominee would earn £500 each month, alongside freebies to review.
The job role would entail reviewing the site’s selection of freebies. Freebiesupermarket.com wants to ensure that its freebies are the best online, so if one isn’t deemed as a quality freebie by the frugal freebie checker, it will be removed and replaced by another.
Members of the public need to nominate their cheapest friend by the 23th May 2016, along with an instance in which they’ve been particularly stingy – https://www.freebiesupermarket.com/nominate-a-mate.

Financing a start up if a bank says no
This is an unusual post for me, but I remember when I started my own business, there weren’t a lot of finance options around that I could afford…bank said no and credit card interest was high, and I was definitely not going to any payday lenders.
So I was interested to hear about a new UK-wide start-up loan product, CWRT Micro-Loan – it’s backed by the government Start Up Loans initiative so all kosher. The new Micro-Loan product is available now as a start up loan of £500 – £4,500. It can be repayed over five years, so that is fantastic and interest is fixed 6%. It can be used for starting up costs, such as office equipment, marketing or a website. As the Micro-Loan is approved directly by the CWRT ( a responsible finance …

Easy and cheap cloudy lemonade recipe
I am rather a fan of cloudy lemonade and have tried a few, but no cloudy beats the one from M&S. However, it is £1.10 a bottle, so in my quest to save money so that I can spend money on fabulous things, has led me to making my own cloudy lemonade.
Yes and this my dahlings is the recipe:
Ingredients
- One Robinsons lemon squash for £1
- Buy a six pack of sparkling mineral water for around £1.10
Method
Open the sparkling water, drink some of it, pour in the squash, give a gentle shake and there you go…home made cloudy lemonade.

Vrumi is another cool ‘sharing economy’ service. It specialises in opening up your home as a workspaces during the day. The service helps hosts to earn money from the spaces that would have otherwise been idle, while guests save money on workspaces.

The caviar of cat food aint cheap!
I watched a friend’s cats for a couple of weeks, so it made me think about trying some new things…all with the owners permission via Skype of course.
She always complains about the cost of cat food, but likes to give them luxury brands like Gourmet and Sheba as a treat. I was sent some Meowing Heads “Purr-nickety” and it’s not cheap. Starting from £6.50 up to £8 for 8 x 85 gram pods, this wet cat food costs a lot more than its closest rival – Gourmet – it’s double the price. The next ‘luxury’ brand along is Sheba. You can pick up an 18 pack of 85 g pods for the same price as the 8 x Meowing Heads.
But quality costs, I guess, as the kittys LOVED this premium, luxury brand cat …
