Hello Magpies, I hope you’re enjoying the summer—whether you're soaking up the sun or just soaking up the savings. This week’s newsletter is a treasure trove of ways to make and save money, with a few quirky surprises thrown in. We’re keeping
things practical, playful, and just a little bit rebellious. First up, we’ve got a piece that’s as rock ‘n’ roll as it is money-savvy: how to make money from selling Black Sabbath merchandise. With the passing of Ozzy Osbourne, the market has shifted—and if you’ve got
old vinyl, shirts, or tour posters gathering dust, now might be the time to cash in. Next, we ask a big, slightly woo-woo question: Can manifesting really be a financial strategy? Whether you're a vision-board devotee or just manifesting your next pay rise, we explore
where mindset meets money. On the savings side, we’ve dug into recent updates around gluten-free food policies in some parts of the UK. That means new ways to get cheap or even free gluten-free food—a welcome bit of good news for those with dietary needs. Hungry for more? You’re in luck. This week you can also
nab a free pizza, a free cinnamon social slice (we know!), AND enter our latest social giveaway to win a goody bag worth £100. Just don’t say we don’t spoil you. And finally, for those of you enjoying a child-free summer, we haven’t forgotten you. Our latest guide rounds up the best cheap summer fun for the childfree—because good times shouldn’t depend on parenthood or your bank balance. As always, we’re here to help you live richly—whether that means more money in your pocket, more freebies on your plate, or just a bit more joy in your day. Until next time, Vicky Parry
