Save money with tips to cut down your food waste

Save money with tips to cut down your food waste

Featured, Guest Post, Savvy Recipes, Savvy Think Piece, Savvy Tips
Food waste – what is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Uh, actually, that’s not true. With a bit of creativity and know-how, you can start using more of what you buy and getting value for money too. But why should you bother? Well, over 30% of all food produced globally ends up in the bin. In the UK we are by far the worst offenders in Europe, throwing away 9.5 million tonnes of food each year. This is an enormous problem because as food degrades in landfill sites it releases methane gas which contributes to global warming. This food has also used up enormous amounts of water, taken up a great deal of land and cost a large number of working hours to produce. Household food waste accounts for 60%…

What Are The Cheapest Cars To Insure For 17 Year Olds?

What Are The Cheapest Cars To Insure For 17 Year Olds?

Featured, Savvy Deals, Savvy Tips
I recently shopped around for my car insurance renewal online and found that the best option for me this time was just over £17 per month with O2. This was nearly  £10 less than the inflated renewal price I had from Hastings Direct whom I’ve now ended my cover with. While comparing quotes, I did begin thinking about the insurance costs of younger drivers in the UK and ways to reduce the costs involved with driving. This popped into my mind when I noticed O2 offered a “Drive Box”, at a cost, to track my driving and reduce my premiums. For me, it wasn’t needed as it would cost way more for the box than I’d get off my insurance and I’d already built the maximum no claims discount for…

Meerkat Movies Code, Films at Vue for just £2.48

Meerkat Movies Code, Films at Vue for just £2.48

Remember the days of accessing films on the cheap with a friend via "Orange Wednesdays"? Well, despite the mobile operator, Orange, pulling the offer shortly after a merger with T-Mobile to become EE, offers still exist. These offers exist in two forms. Either obtaining a Meerkat Movies code or accessing free preview screenings via companies like showfilmfirst. For a few years, I'd use free screening codes to access films, but these became trickier to get reliably and were not always for films I would usually want to see. In Norwich, where I am based, a standard cinema ticket for an adult can cost up to £15 for a 2d viewing. Using a meerkat movies vue code, you can slice this in two by sharing the cost of 2-4-1 tickets with…

Roku Express vs Amazon Fire TV vs Kodi Build Android Box: Best value for TV streaming

Roku Express vs Amazon Fire TV vs Kodi Build Android Box: Best value for TV streaming

Featured, Savvy Deals, Savvy Tips
Roku Express vs Amazon Fire TV vs Kodi Build Android Box With Sky now suggesting they are moving into the digital streaming stick game and more and more satellite dishes sitting disused on houses across the nation, what's the best value way to access TV both live and on demand? This was just the question I was asking myself when my family moved to a new home with just one standard TV aerial point. The Roku Express, Amazon Fire TV, or the Kodi enhanced Android box... What was best for me? We had one high gain digital aerial, linked to a junction box in the loft and then down into the living room. Now, this was fine, but being a one-level property with a large footprint meant options for other rooms needed…
