2. Do you have an absolute favourite that you can’t find for free? You’ll be surprised how many companies will sent you vouchers, or even freebies, if you write to them about these particular products and tell them why you love them so much.

They love to get positive letters and will often reward you for them.
3. If you’re not sure about how effective this can be, take your usual shopping list and before you hit the supermarket, have a search online for each item. You’ll be amazed how many can be found that have money off with vouchers or coupons.
