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.
A yummy piece of cake to go with my coffee at a cafe as that would be a treat
My dog.
I’m optimistic, so I would have to say sun cream! It surely will be sunny again after the closing date!
Hello. I would research promising stocks that are £5 or under and use a free share trading platform to make an investment using that £5. Hopefully the watching that £5 grow as time goes by. Kind regards

As my birthday’s coming up next week I’d buy a lottery ticket and hope I get lucky and if I didn’t I’d use what’s left to get myself a cake
Charity for food banks
I would spend the winning fiver towards my UK holiday since am housebound
I would buy something, like chocolate or Icecream, to cheer myself up because I miss my daughter who passed away very much. I think I would get her favourite flavour to remember her by. Thanks.
I would have a lovely gander around my local charity shop and hopefully treat myself to a nice dress.
Treats for me and treats for my dog x
