Hello , It's me, Vicky - Content Editor and Consumer Specialist over on MoneyMagpie. Jasmine has handed me the reins this week to tell you all about something VERY exciting. The MoneyMagpie team have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring you an ALL NEW MONEYMAGPIE WEBSITE! (yes! I shouted that!) This will be going live in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled to see our shiny, new, user-friendly guide to helping you through all your money questions. We have had so much fun sorting through content and bringing everything up to date for 2023... and we have some new bits that we hope help you hugely. When we launch, we will be doing so with a very exciting competition. So keep your eyes open, as it really is exciting times for our Magpie family. For now though, we are rocketing through the year, head first into March (ouch! I swear I just finished Christmas). The daffs are peeping and the wild garlic is starting to show (YUM!) But as ever we are here to tell you about
some truly incredible money-makers and money-savers we have stashed away for this week. |

Firstly, while we await the fantastic World Book Day - we have found six incredible ways to get paid to read. Something that almost sounds too good to be true to
fellow bookworms... The first one I can also vouch for, as I'm a member myself (not paid to say that, just always want to keep it real). We also have boxes of food for £2 in Sainsbury's, a job opportunity to "get paid to watch Derry Girls" (Ye poor critter) and the best easy access savings account today. One that we are also excited to share is the many chances to get paid for your old shampoo bottles - proving once again that we are all throwing cash away daily. One question people often come to us with is "Is it possible to invest risk free?" - so we got our investment specialist Karl looking into this for you. So, now that March is upon us tomorrow, my fellow Welshies and I (and anyone who rather enjoys a Welsh cake) will be getting those bakestones heated up - ready for tomorrow, and I want to wish you all a huge
Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus from me and the whole team. xxx |

Make Money From Your Old Shampoo Bottles ... Yes Really!

Although this isn't going to be the lottery style influx of cash we so need, it is a way to both save and earn a little bit extra cash.
