Save money as you shop

For starters if you buy anything on the Internet you should know about cashback sites. They give you the opportunity to receive a percentage of what you pay back and the best (and probably the most comprehensive ) of these is Qudco.

The process is really simple, sign up for a free account and go shopping. All you need to do is follow the links to your favourite web sites through Quidco and once you have completed a transaction you will receive some of the money back. It can take up to a month for the cash back to show on your account but it can be really beneficial. Our own editor bought his car insurance using the site and saved £100.

What’s the catch? – there isn’t one really. The only thing is that Quidco retain the first £5 you earn back each year but apart from that no charge.

If you are really smart one of the best money saving ways to use the site is a s follows:

• Search for the product you want using pricerunner or similar
• Find the retailer on Quidco
• Purchase the product or service using a cash back credit card

That way you double your cash back. Not bad really.

There are a number of others around on the web so here is a link to a list of all the cash back sites we can find so far. I will be reviewing others individually in the future.

For now Quidco gets four stars – it’s free and it helps the pocket but the design is not brilliant.
