We aren’t just talking pumpkin spice lattes and where to buy a pumpkin to carve into a scary face. We want to help our readers to save money on those everyday essentials for the Autumn seasons.
Clothing
Let’s start with a good coat which is a necessity in this weather. Go Outdoors are currently selling a warm, baffled jacket for just £12. You’ll need to purchase a £5 membership card to take advantage of this price but you’ll more than make that back with this purchase alone. Other colours are available for Men and Women but the price does increase slightly to £15.
A Child’s Baffled Jacket at Go Outdoors will set you back just £8 and is perfect for walking to school or getting stuck into a game of tag at lunchtime! Again, you’ll need to purchase the £5 membership card. However, if you are a member of the Blue Light Scheme for Emergency Service workers, you’ll also benefit from 10% off your purchases when showing the card.
These adults ‘magic gloves’ are just £1.06 with free delivery! If you can afford to do so, we are big fans of ordering an extra pair or two and popping them in the local homeless or food bank collection point.
Household Items
Most households welcome ideas to save money on heating bills, so with a few adjustments, it is probably possible to save a few pounds on the bill this year.
