Help Save Money

Side Hustles, Savings & Deals.

This Week's Roundup.

Hope you’ve had a good week and managed a tiny win or two. I’ve been testing a few new tools and apps that can make your money life easier, especially if you run a side hustle or small business.

THIS WEEK'S TOP DEALS

---

🎁 Claim a FREE Trading 212 Share (Worth up to £100)

If you've been thinking about getting started with investing, this is one of the easiest freebies around.

​
New Trading 212 customers can claim a free fractional share worth up to £100 simply by opening an account through a referral link and depositing just £1.

While the top prize is £100, most people receive a share worth between £8 and £25, still not bad for a £1 deposit!

Once your share arrives, you can choose to keep it invested or sell it (investment risk applies, and the value can go up or down).

SIDE HUSTLES I'M LOVING RIGHT NOW

• ​User Interviews. Got an opinion? Get paid £30-£100+ per session to share it with brands and researchers. Flexible and worth the sign-up. Ive just made a reel all about User Interviews over on my Insta if you want to take a look!
• ​Respondent. Another platform that you can apply for studies and get paid for your opinion.
• UserTesting - pays for giving feedback on websites/apps

These are great for topping up your income without committing to long hours.

Money Fact of the Week

Behaviour beats income​
Studies consistently show financial well-being is more about habits (saving, switching, budgeting) than how much you earn.

AMAZON DEALS TO WATCH

These aren’t fixed prices but regularly discounted:

• Cabin Bag for Ryanair - Fits perfectly for Ryanair's allowance
• Perfume Refiller - Travel Perfume Atomiser Refillable.
• Pink Mailer Bags – mixed pink mailer bags

MONEY NEWS YOU SHOULD KNOW

• 📱 Mobile networks continue competing with switch bonuses, especially for SIM-only deals.
• ✈️ Prices for summer travel are rising quickly mid-June onwards, so booking early still makes a big difference.
• 📉 Many savings platforms are still offering 4%+ interest, worth checking if your money is sitting idle.

Have a lovely week,

Gemma 💛
