Below is a list of the best ways to get help with the cost of household items that we’ve come across over the last few years of helping people. We have no affiliation with any of the organisations we mention - we don’t benefit from anyone using them.

We will update the list when we discover new opportunities to save money on household items, and we will continue to connect customers to as many of them as possible during our calls.
