What little money makers have people got going off? I'm taking things like cashback accounts/credit cards that type of thing? I'm loving Santander's 123 card, weve racked up about 170 between 2 ofsus just using that to spend and paying full balance off. Any other bits like that people got going off?

Nectar Card, Tesco Clubcard and Morrisons' miles. Started buying from Texaco so need to get one of their Star reward cards. I tend to only use them for fuel as the missus does most of the shopping, although I get a few nectar points a year from British Gas.
Always get the mail on the last Thursday of the month for a £5 off at Aldi voucher as well.

Cashback sites and checking HUKD before I buy anything usually.
Bulk buy stuff on offer (toothpaste, anti perspirant, nappies etc) instead of buying when needed - the amount of people that either dont do this or baulk at me for doing it amazes me, they must waste a fortune of money at the supermarket...
£10 / month on Halifax Reward accounts
£5 / month on Halifax Clarity credit card
Switch bank accounts every so often whoring the £100 freebies
Father in law works for Morrisons so we get 10% off there which is about £400 a year
Keep coupons the wife gets in her baby magazines that she picks up from Sure Start for free

Amex cashback for household spending (mainly to include costco).
Capital one cashback for my own spending, I think that's about it.

Used to do a shit load of online surveys, was making, i suspect, a £70/80 a month.
Ended up cutting it back due to the amount of time it taking. Things like onepoll/globaltestmarket are still pretty good though, the first does lots of little 2 minute surveys earning 10p-15p per time and global often sends products out to test.
Happy to invite people if they want a go. Not massive money, but easy.

Nectar card and Amex Nectar Credit Card used for Sainsbury's each week and wife's fuel at BP. (Paid off monthly by DD)
Shell Points Card to go with the Fuel Card that I use for my company car. Points for nothing. Was surprised I am able to claim points with a Fuel Card!
Costa Card, although I don't use it much as I get most coffee's at Costa free anyway.

Shell Card
That's it, I tried the 123 credit card had it a year and just used it for fuel but it was getting hard to work out when the balance was going to come out, screwed me over a couple of times so I fucked it off

Direct debit for full amount and it comes out at the same time every month? With the usual exceptions of it falling on a weekday and bank holidays of course.

I always put my Asda receipt through their asdapriceguarantee thingy. If they're not 10% cheaper then they give you a money off voucher.
I use cashback sites and tend to check HUKD before buying stuff.
Tesco clubcard.
Cycle to work.
Always look for offers in the supermarket and buy in bulk.
Go on petrolprices.com to go to the cheapest station near me, within reason...no point travelling a few miles to save a few pennies.

Yeah that's fine, but I get paid 4 weekly. It's the bain of my life having direct debits as it works well for a few months then it's all at the wrong times, I hate it.
