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 treat my nieces to an ice cream each
I will place it in my pension and watch it magically transform into £6.25. There is a remarkable pleasure in increasing one’s assets by 25% simply by moving money with a touch of the finger.
Certainly going towards groceries
Spend it on a book to help me switch off from work
A de-caf coffee for my daughter who is due to have a baby in 3 days. She deserves it
I would give it to my mum to help her a little bit as she needs it
Money towards food shopping
I would spend it on seeds so I can grow a few vegetables for the autumn/winter months.
I’d pay it off my credit card, every penny counts as I’m trying to get debt free
I would treat the 3 g’kids, because treats are few & far between for them these days, Thanks.
