Seven ways to save heaps of money this week - and every week!

Tuesday

How-to Guide Tips 2 tips on this task  | 

If there's going to be a good day for getting your housework out of the way, I think Tuesday fits the bill. But, how can you save a bit of cash on all those dull chores?

Well, for starters, have you ever noticed how expensive cleaning products are? You don't need them. Instead, you can use items you probably already have in your kitchen - such as baking soda, lemon juice and white wine vinegar - to get your home sparkling clean. Read Clever cleaning tips to find out more.

You could also try doing your laundry with ecoballs. These are clever little devices which enable you to use less detergent. They cost about £30, with a predicted annual saving of £74 - for the rest of your life! You can also save a bit by putting your washing machine on a timer and running it overnight using off-peak electricity.

It's also a good day to sit down every week and do some budgeting. If you can spare a few minutes, once a week, to look through your bills and bank statements and check all the deals you are on are still competitive, you'll always know what you're spending and that your finances are in tip-top shape.

Finally, why not ask a question on Q&A to get advice on saving money in the home?

    I found the Spendometer app (free) helpful to show me how much I've spent in particular categories

    I'm into my eco products. Soap nuts - a few do about 4 or so loads. And a 250g bag does me a good few months at about £3 a bag.....

    I do have eco 7 electricity but can't run my washing machine at night - for the simple fact I wouldn't get any sleep cos my flat is tiny!
