Hi MoneyMagpies, I’ve got a mix of tips, lessons, and wins to share this week—perfect for half-term and making your money go further. ✅ Free places for kids to
eat – enjoy a meal out without spending a penny.
✅ Amazon Prime lesson learned – buying that gadget wasn’t as simple as it seemed!
✅ Delayed train from London to York – yes, I sat through it (see pic), but got 50% of my fare back—and you can too.
✅ Check your council tax band – you could be
owed a refund if you’ve been overpaying. We’re here to support you, and with the autumn Budget coming up, we’d love to know: is there anything you want help with? Hit reply and let us know—we might cover it in our next newsletter. Here’s to smarter spending, free treats, and a few travel wins along the way! Warmly,
Vicky Parry
