THE cost-of-living crisis really is beginning to bite.
After bank holidays and school hols — and with the four-day Jubilee break on its way — everyone’s under pressure.

Here we show you how to get prepped for next week with our money-saving guide . . .
SAVE IT: Hunt down the back of the sofa and go through coat pockets. Spend with notes and try to save 50p, £1 or £2 coins you get in change.
Use “round-up” facility features on your bank account so it sets aside the difference when rounding to the nearest pound.
SPEND IT: Check any subscriptions for hidden rewards and check for special cashback rates on any purchases.
Use up loyalty points on groceries this week and get the Shopmium app for freebies and cashback on supermarket shopping, such as £1 off Aunt Bessie’s Yorkshire puds right now. Request free samples at magicfreebies.co.uk and supersavvyme.co.uk.
RENT IT: Got a driveway? Make some money by renting it out using yourparkingspace.co.uk or justpark.com. You can also rent out your car via car-sharing sites such as hiyacar.com.
PAUSE IT: Give up one thing this week, such as take-out coffee, buying lunch or that trip to the pub. Eat from what you have in the freezer and join the “Feeding a family for £1 a day” Facebook group or check out thriftylesley.com for seriously cheap recipe inspiration.
SWITCH IT: Earn £170 by moving your current account to HSBC. You have to deposit a minimum of £1,500 and set up two direct debits..

The £170 should be paid into your account within 30 days, which can help ease the pain after the Jubilee.
