Why, hello there...

It's been ages since I did a Save your Pennies post, but there wasn't many other topics I could think to cover, and then I thought of apps. I'm sure we all have some sort of device that has the app store or android app store so hopefully this post will be helpful to everyone. 

I've used quite a few apps to make a bit of money, whether selling or saving money there is an app out there for everyone.

1. Vinted/Depop. These are apps for selling all your unwanted items. Whether it's clothing, beauty, electronics or even your own handmade items, you can find just about everything on them. Vinted is more so for clothing whereas Depop has a bit of everything. You can often find famous youtubers on them as well selling their unwanted clothing or high end make up such as Becca Rose and a few others. 

I've used Vinted in the past but I currently use Depop to sell all my items as I have a mixture of everything. My username is PenniesForAPound and I currently have 3 for 2 across all my items so go take a look! Follow me on Depop and message me the code PFAP-APPS and I'll give you an extra 10% off!

2. Unidays App. Most people have used the website but the app is just as good. You can simply flash the Unidays ID in any of the stores they have on their app such as New Look and H&M and get % off in store! 

3. Zeek. This is a new app to me, but it does look pretty good! You can sell any unwanted vouchers including amazon and highstreet stores for a little bt less than their worth i.e. a £10 amazon voucher would be sold for £7. So now you can use that money to spend wherever you like! And buying the vouchers also gives you a saving as you might spot something you like that's £20 and buy a £20 voucher for only £17, saving £3. Does that make sense? I think so...

4. Quidco App. Everyone who's been on my blog for a while knows I love Quidco. They do great cashback deals for buying things online as well as some offers where you get cashback and don't have to spend a penny! On their app you can 'check in' to shops while you shop. Simply turn on your location, open the app and when you're in that shop, check in and you'll get a very small amount of cashback. But if you do this in all the shops you visit and if you're like me and find yourself in shops more times than you should be...it can accumulate to quite a bit!

5. Advert/app trial apps. I've never properly tried these sort of apps but I know there is some out there. You can get vouchers for amazon or accumulate points which convert into money by simply watching adverts or downloading certain games or other things you can do daily. If you know of any of these kind of apps let me know in the comments!

Hopefully this will be useful to someone, don't forget to download the Depop app, follow me (Penniesforapound) and quote PFAP-APPS for an extra 10% off.

What are your favourite apps?

Thanking you,

Naomi

Why, hello there...

So this is one of the new posts I've been most excited about to post this new year! This blog is primarily about saving money and finding products for less, and I thought that I should do a couple of posts especially about trying to save a few pennies. Whether you're a blogger or a beauty addict, I hope these tips will come in useful!

This first post is going to be about online savings and also ways to make a few pennies out of online shopping, so lets get started!

1. Quidco. I've done previous posts on quidco before but that was back when I had hardly any followers. Quidco is a great site where you can get cashback for shopping online from hundreds of popular online websites. Everything from ASOS to Netflix to Superdrug and everything in-between is on this site! I use it all the time to get cashback on all my online purchases, which was really helpful over the sales period! 

They have excellent custom care if you have any problems and always explain anything you don't understand. The only problem I have with Quidco is that you have to give your first £5 earning to the site every year to help with the running of the site. But it's not a lot for the savings you can make! I would highly recommend this for bloggers especially if you don't get to the shops very often or can't find something in store! Click on the image above to take you to their website! They also have banner which you can put on your blog to advertise it!

2. Top Cashback. This site is very similar to Quidco. I am a member of the site but only really use Quidco. Although it does seem to have a few better qualities such as you don't need to pay yearly and on the odd occasion on their app, you can get freebies! I believe a most recent one was a free hand cream from the Body Shop? I think I will definitely have to start trying this site out! Click on the image below to take you to the website!

3. UniDAYS. I've just signed up to this website and I'm loving it so far! It's basically like a NUS card, but for free! It gives you loads of discounts on all the high street stores, including Urban Outfitters, Topshop, Benefit and many more! It also has loads of in-store discounts as well, up to 20% off so you can save loads of money, especially if you buy in bulk! I would definitely recommend this site if you're a student on a budget! Click on the image below to go to the website!






4. Newsletters. I receive newsletters from a few companies such as Superdrug, Newlook and The Body Shop. They don't spam me, only about once a week or less I get an email from them letting me know about the latest offers or products that are on sale so you're always up-to-date. They also give special offers for the newsletter readers so occasionally I get special discount codes for a certain percent of my order, half price on selected item or free delivery. I make sure all my newsletter go into one file in my emails so they don't get mixed up with my other emails. I would definitely recommend signing up to some of your favourite brands, you never know what kind of deals you'll receive!


5. Voucher Codes. My parents use this and other variations of this site quite often for meals out or for in-store purchases. You can print off thousands of vouchers for a variety of different outlets and get loads of deals and money off. I would always check this website before going out to a meal to see if they have any offers!



6. Voucher Cloud. This company got in touch with me after this post originally went up and wandered whether they could be featured in this post. I had a look around their site and it definitely worth a mention! Unlike some voucher websites, they have a competitions page and LOADS of exclusive offer for their site only! I love the layout of the site as well - very slick and well laid out. I would definitely recommend giving this site a try! (I wasn't paid to say this, the company simply just asked if they could be included in this post)


That's all for this post! If you have any other tips let me know down below and I'll add them to this post (and let people know you gave me the idea!)

Do you use any of these resources?

Thanking you,

Naomi

Why, hello there...

So I love Quidco. 

I just wanted to let you know about a new venture that Quidco has launched. It's called 'Quido Opinions' where you can answer a bunch of surveys and get paid to do them. Yes. Paid to answer questions. The surveys don't always offer a lot of money. But the more you answer, and the more effort you put into the survey the more money you can get.

If you want to find out more about how to make money from Quidco (which includes making money from shopping online) I've done another post on it which you can see if you click here.

Why, Hello there...

Quidco is an AMAZING site if you do a lot of on-line shopping, not just beauty/health/fashion, but even grocery shopping, film sites (Netflix, NOW TV e.c.t) and much more. I've been a member of Quidco for just over a year now, and although I don't do a massive amount of on-line shopping, Quidco has offers where you get cashback for completing free trials, so essentially they're paying you!
