Money Giveaway: The cost of living crisis is really getting people down now. With a record number of people taking on second jobs and people frantically googling ‘quick ways to make cash’, we at MoneyMagpie have again decided to put our hand in our pocket and offer some help to readers.
Last year we offered you all a chance to get your hands on a no strings attached free £5 and over 300 of you entered.
Therefore we are again offering 20 readers £5. There are no strings attached at all. Simply comment on the article with what you would spend the fiver on, and then in two weeks, 20 people will be selected to win the money.
MoneyMagpie founder Jasmine Birtles says: ‘It really doesn’t feel much in the greater scheme of things, but if it helps a few people then we are more than happy to step in. We have had a record number of people writing in and asking us how to access quick cash, and in reality there aren’t many ways that are safe to the consumer. Therefore we just wanted to offer them a chance. We are strongly against gambling so didn’t want our readers to go there, therefore it’s simply cash.’
So, as stated above, for your chance to get your hands on a fiver, just answer ‘what would you spend an extra fiver on this month?’ in the comments below. The comments will close at midnight on August 1, 2023.
We will notify the winners on August 2, 2023.
Good luck. We look forward to hearing your answers.
I’d spend it on treats for my dog, as he keeps me lovely and warm when I’m working from home by snuggling up to me.
I would spend it on something nice for my partner. He looks after me so well and really deserves a treat.
My daughter is a Brownie and they just announced a sleep over next month will cost £60! Which has come as a bit of a last min surprise!!!!!! The £5 will make a dent in that cost for us and be a big help!
This would be wonderful towards buying our 5 year old granddaughter 2 boxes of gluten free fish fingers as they’re £3.50 a box and she absolutely loves fish fingers, but unfortunately they’re too expensive to keep buying..
She was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago and is still struggling to come to terms with it.. Thank you ever so much, this is wonderful.
I would spend an extra fiver on veg seeds & get planting late Winter early Spring!
i’d top up my dd school lunch fund, atm she is taking packed lunches due to cost!
A little win like this would give me a much needed boost after feeling very low. The money would go towards a new hoover as mine just broke on me
I am having a major operation next week and am also suffering from insomnia so would use to put towards buying sleep remedy.
I would spend it on a treat for my mum.
