[ad_1]
Martin Lewis will often speak out on his latest tips and tricks on how Britons can save money. Today, he appeared on Good Morning Britain to reveal how viewers can get 70 percent off in Boots on selected products.
Boots, who currently have a “50 percent off” discount sale in place, are increasing their sale on selected skincare, makeup, electrical and fragrances by an extra 20 percent – a total of 70 percent off.
Martin said: “So if items are still in stock tomorrow, you could get a decent discount, for example, you could get a Ted Baker Ultimate Harmony set for £13.50 (currently £20.25 in ‘up to 50 percent off sale’), normally £45 and Soap & Glory Sweet Tin-Tations set for £18 (currently £27 in ‘up to 50 percent off sale’), normally £60.”
Depending on availability, Boots customers can get their hands on the following items:
•Ted Baker Ultimate Harmony set for £13.50 (currently £20.25 was £45)
•Soap & Glory Sweet Tin-Tations set for £18 (currently £27 was £60)
•Benefit Makeup Megastars set for £26 (currently £32.50 was £80.50)
•L’Oreal Paris Electric Nights Christmas Eye gift set for £9.72 (currently £12.25 was £26.99)
•Oral B Genius X Black Electric Toothbrush Travel Case for £135 (currently £169 was £340)
•The No7 A-Z Edit for £102 (currently £127.50 was £333.50)
However, the Money Saving Expert cautioned that the sale is applicable only in-store and is dependent on availability.
He said: “There are no guarantees, it’s a case of ‘can you find them’ – bigger stores tend to have more [products on sale].”
Other things that the Money Saving Expert discussed on the programme include how to save £1,000s through an auto-saving app, what Brexit means for finances, and he also reminded viewers that the 2018-2019 final self-assessment deadline is due tomorrow.
Auto-save £1,000s
Martin said: “There’s a growth in auto-save apps, autosave apps try to squirrel away some of your cash without you noticing.
“Most use clever tech and data to figure out what you can afford to save, then move money from your current account to your savings or investment accounts with them automatically.
“While I think the idea is good, and many do love them as they’re an easy way to get into the savings habit, especially for app-happy, confident new savers, but the problem is that the interest earned in its savings accounts is often poor and they’re not without issues.”
According to Martin, the top auto-saving apps currently are; Chip, Tandem, Plum, and MoneyBox.
Brexit Day
Martin said: “Brexit Day means NO CHANGES for your finances. We formally leave the EU tomorrow and while it’s a big political day, it’s not a big practical day for UK consumers.
“Whether it’s mortgages, savings, travel rights or more, all are simply moved to the new transitional rules – designed to provide unchanged continuity. In other words, today’s rules will still stand on Saturday.
“The key change will be when the transition finishes at the year’s end. What happens after that is up in the air, as it depends solely on if and what deal we get with the EU. Of course, meantime as always there will be exchange rate and market fluctuations depending on how various deal announcement updates are viewed.”
