Hello MoneyMagpies, It’s official — Magpie Spring has begun 🌸 After what has felt like a very long winter, we’re celebrating the season properly with three full weeks of
giveaways. Over the next few newsletters we’ll be sharing some fantastic prizes, clever money-saving finds and a few lovely surprises along the way. Think of it as our way of saying thank you for being part of the MoneyMagpie community. To kick things off, we’re answering a question that has started popping up everywhere: will your Winston Churchill £5 note still be valid tender? If you’ve got one tucked away in a purse, wallet or old savings tin, it’s worth knowing exactly what the rules are and whether it’s time to spend it. We’ve also found a lovely little freebie this week — a way to get a free face mask from Lush. It’s a simple treat that feels like a bit of luxury without costing a penny. We have lots of amazing freebies available this Spring that most Brits don't even know exist. And because Easter has a habit of sneaking up on us, our team has already started rounding up the best and cheapest Easter eggs currently available in UK
supermarkets. We’ll keep this guide live and updated right up until Easter, adding new deals as they appear so you can always find the best chocolate for the best price. Meanwhile, don’t forget we’ve got a brilliant giveaway running over on Instagram right now, packed with some fantastic treats — and it’s only the
beginning of Magpie Spring. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead, and good luck if you enter the giveaways. Vicky Parry
MoneyMagpie 🐦 Quick question before you go: do you still have a Churchill £5 note somewhere? I’m curious how many are still out there! |
