Moneytastic is online!

Welcome to Moneytastic, an offshoot of the Sachtastic blog dedicated to the less boring side of financial matters. From handy saving tips with your home finances, to humorous discussion of the economy, it's all here, every Wednesday.

Just a quick tip on how to save on your food shopping- ASDA, as you will probably know, are advertising their Price Guarantee, whereby you enter the receipt details and, if your shopping is less than 10% cheaper than it would have been at their competitors, they give you a voucher for the difference.

I'm not saying shop at ASDA. I'm just saying, if you do, this is well worth it. I've done it five times, and out of those five, received a voucher twice. Not for life-changing amounts of money, but still, for money.

As with loyalty card schemes, the trick is not to get too swayed by the offer. The money back is a reward for shopping with the company, and not an incentive to do it again.
