Hi MoneyMagpies, It's been a week of whiplash, both with the weather (heatwave droughts and rain, anybody?!) but also in money news. We all wondered what Chancellor Rachel Reeves had in store for her Mansion House speech - and while the Cash ISA limit seems to be safe for now, there were hints it could still change in the autumn. With that in
mind, make sure you read our £10 to £10k article for tips to start building a nest egg with just a tenner! Oh, and not just that, Jasmine and Ruby have done a whole step-by-step
podcast for you about it. And the best way to find a spare tenner (or a few) is to make savings on your spending. That's why we love our freebie of the week with a free Vision Express eye test, and the deal of 25% off Merlin Attractions, which is perfect for helping families save money this summer. If you're driving the family around for summer activities, make sure you read on to find out how to save money on your car, too. Parents can also make sure they're claiming everything they can before school starts again with our Mirror article that lists a bunch of freebies you could claim. If you still find budgeting a challenge, it could be caused by digital overwhelm. It's so easy to let money leave our account when we're not physically handling it. If this sounds like you, check out our old school budget tips to try and get back to basics to save. And finally, make sure you check out the latest MoneyMagpie Invest podcast with special guest Alisdair Crowley to find out if we're
facing a bigger potential crash than 1929.
