Hello , Yay, it's pancake day! Mine's going to be filled with chocolate sauce and bananas
with cream on top, but my neighbour Maria says she'd like lemon and sugar and eight-year-old Lily upstairs likes sprinkles! Pancakes are such a great
food. Not only are they delicious and filling, they're also cheap! And this week we have lots of news and tips for you to get more cheap and healthy food. For a start you can get 60% off a HelloFresh box of yummy food that will help you cook a delish meal. We show you how you can save
money on food bills and there's news on how some people (in the Manchester area) can get a free freezer. |

Ooh and stoozing is back. Do you remember that? I did it around the Naughties when you could borrow at 0% from credit cards and put it into savings accounts - or your mortgage - to save or make interest. Well it's happening again and we tell you how you can do it. You can also find out how to make more money selling your books and how you can get paid for bedtime reading! Oh, and because we are all crazy animal-lovers at MoneyMagpie (the clue's in the name!) we are all really
concerned about how many pet owners can't afford to feed their animals so we have info on where you can go to get free food to keep them going. Have a lovely pancake day and send us some pics of your pancakes if you make something really fun! Love Jasmine xx |

|
Pensions can seem complicated (and let’s be honest, a bit dull) – but they’re absolutely vital to a financially secure retirement.
