How to save it: Deals for saving cash

Simon Read has looked at the latest deals for saving money in September 2018...

£25 trip to Paris

Fancy a trip to Paris for £25 this autumn? You’ll need to travel with three friends to but you could also go to Brussels instead, or as well!

Return tickets under Eurostar’s current promotion are the same price.

You’ll need to book for Paris or Brussels by September 24 for travel between October 2 and December 12 2018.

But don’t expect to get the offer at the most popular times — Monday mornings, Fridays, Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

Get a cash boost for saving

If you’re on a low income, you can get up to £1200 from the Government added to your savings. The Help to Save scheme hands savers 50p for every £1 they save over four years with the maximum you can save being £2400.

You need to be receiving working tax credits or child tax credit payments, or to be claiming universal credit and have a household or individual income of at least £542.88 at the last monthly assessment.
