I adore this website, I've used it for a few years now. Every now and again I've been accepted to be a product tester as part of their 'Savvy Circle' of brand ambassadors for several different products from shampoos to laundry products. There's a wealth of information on different things from smart shopping and money saving to home, lifestyle and beauty - but what I love about the site most are their coupons! Currently there are some fabulous coupon offers from some big named brands on the website, simply add your coupons to your shopping basket, print off and away you go!

Asda Price Gaurantee

I have touched on this before in my previous blog which has been shared across the media on how to save from your receipts, the little pieces of paper that normally hide in our cupboards, purses, wallets and cars. If you are interested in saving money or potentially earning cash back on your receipts, read my seperate blog post about it HERE (as shared in the media).

So what exactly is the Asda Price Gaurantee? We moved several months ago and with the move we had to change supermarkets, from Tesco to Asda which is more local for us. I always enjoyed the clubcard savings we received from our regularly grocery shops at Tesco however when they abandoned the doubling up on points which many used to save up for big holidays such as Christmas I had started to look around for somewhere else to spend our money. For reference, the Asda Price Guarantee says that you’ll never pay more for a branded product, even on offer, than a competing supermarket. If the item would be cheaper elsewhere, or even the same price, Asda guarantee to give you a voucher for 10% extra off.

With a large family we shop on a weekly basis, ending up with several receipts. It's nice being able to go back in with a few vouchers at the end of the month based on what you have already purchased and the price difference.

Asda compares your shopping against Morrisons (instore) and Waitrose.com (excludes Northern Ireland) Tesco.com and Sainsburys.co.uk. You must have purchased at least eight seperate items of which at least one must be comparable to the above shops to count.

Apps

There are several apps that can earn you cashback and give you vouchers, these are Checkoutsmart, Clicksnap, Shopmium (enter code AMACGMKT after clicking the link to find out how to claim a FREE Nutella jar), Topcashback and Greenjinn (read more about these in my latest blog post here, or click on the links to take you directly to the apps in question).

Writing to companies

Do you have a brand favourite or product you absolutely love? Taking the time to write to companies can be useful, sometimes as a goodwill gesture in the form of a coupon will be sent in return - however please do not abuse this.

If you have anything else you could share, or some handy coupon codes that you don't mind me publishing please feel free to get in touch!

SMA Pro 6+months Follow-on Milk trial with TheInsidersIreland

Whilst most of my blog posts are on ways to make an extra income without the extra effort, I’ve recently been taking part in a few product trials at home which I have thoroughly enjoyed. One of which is my first product trial with a fantastic company called TheInsiders , a word of mouth review platform. I have four children, I have breastfed them all but normally make a switch to formula when they are older (mainly as I find I no longer have the time to express any longer). My youngest has been exclusively breastfed from birth,  and now at ten months still she refuses bottles and pacifiers, so when the opportunity came up to review SMA Pro 6+Months follow on milk  with TheInsiders, I immediately applied and was accepted. The trial takes place over a 6 week period so you can get a really good feel for the product and have plenty of time to talk to others about your experience of SMA Pro Follow-on Milk. Not long after being notified that I’d been accepted for the campaign, I re
It's been a while since I made a post about earning extra money, without the extra effort. I work from home, I create and manage a website and social media accounts for a commercial vehicle dismantler, and have my own small crafts business LAPapercuts . I've four young children, 6 and under (my youngest is just 11 months old), I keep a house and all the inbetween and I still find time in the small minutes of the day to earn some extra money in this way. It really is virtually effortless for me now, but you really need to find out what works for you! What works for one person may not suit another. Here is a list of my absolute favourite apps and sites which can help earn you a little pocket money. I do have several others that I will dip in and out of, but these are the ones I use regularly: Panelbase.net Through Panelbase.net I've had not only surveys which earn you a designated amount, I've had product trials (where you earn money for testing products), I'
