Saving £5 on £100 is the same as picking up a fiver off the pavement each time you do it - and I bet you wouldn't ignore that.⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

You then just scan that, drawing down as you go, until you need your next £500 block.

Saving money nearly always involves effort. If it were zero effort, we'd all do it.
That's why retailers issue vouchers or discount codes that you have to actively remember to use rather than automatically applying discounts.Comment

Obviously, YMMV. Personally, I would rather focusing on what's coming in than what's going out.
