Ruth Jackson with six tips designed to save you money and one 'tempting' offer to avoid.

Put your drive, parking space or garage to good use. If you have one that you don't use, rent it out, says Jasmine Birtles in the Daily Express. Register on Parklet.co.uk, Parkatmyhouse.com, or Gumtree.com to find someone who wants to be in your postcode area. Even if you do use your parking space, you can rent it out for only a few days when you know you won't need it, or even just a few hours if there is an event going on nearby.
