If you are on benefits and need to get your dog or cats spayed
charities will usually pay for this
Unfortunately where we are here is a dead spot for this help. Charities only often run this out of their pet hospitals and we aren't local enough for the catchment area of any that I am aware of. Would still always advise that neutering is money well spent though as in the long run it will likely save money (both in unexpected litters and in vet fees!)
Fill your car up with petrol in the morning when it is colder ( works best in winter months ). as you get a bit more petrol for your money!
As I have over 25 years in ICT sector ( when I wasn't retired ) I dont mind helping if people need help with their devices etc if you wanted to open this up to a coffee morning or something ?
May save people money etc or provide advise for replacing
Dont take out expensive insurance contracts for mobiles and tablets when most are included on your house insurance BUT make sure all serial numbers and models of items are listed on your house insurance otherwise they are not covered!

A tip to save money on car insurance, change yearly to get the best deals.
Or threaten to leave and go elsewhere I did that once and funnily enough 200 was wiped off my renewal fee straight away !
