    For fuel, I only get it from Costco, I know there isn’t one in Hull, but for those not in Hull, & have one nearby, use it!
    It’s cheaper than everywhere else by at least 5p a litre, also lasts longer too, no idea why.
    There’s more companies that qualify for membership now, I guess they just want more customers.
    If not & you know someone who has a Costco membership, & you don’t, ask them if they can get you a guest membership. It lasts a year, then after the year, you’re on your own with your own membership.

    When you say fuel do you mean petrol?

    Oh wow. I wonder what they put in it that makes it last longer? Wish they'd share the recipe!

    They add sand to it. Lasts longer 'cos it takes time to replace the filter, remove sand from the tank
    or replace a siezed-up engine ! :emoticon-0100-smile

    It’s with Lloyds but I’m sure most of the big banks will have a similar scheme

    Switch your current bank account for the free money they'll give you. First Direct is my port of call this month, £175 for a few clicks of the keypad. :emoticon-0125-mmm:

    This is bad for your credit score and borrowing though isn’t it? Lenders like to see a long history with a bank account.

    Never buy designer perfumes. Use such as:
    - https://copycatfragrances.co.uk/
    - https://edenperfumes.co.uk/
    A fraction of the cost of originals, yet smell virtually identical, and all at full perfume strength.
    They really are good. It's madness spending what can be a near fortune in effect just for the bottle.

    Got to know what you're buying. Chap I know bought his usual 'branded' aftershave in Boyes 'cos it was cheap, brought him out in a rash for a month.
