Hello MoneyMagpies,

Before we start - would you like to earn £60 for your views, and £2 just for applying? Then check out this opportunity. We're shocked at just how easy it is.

Renting and fed up with repairs that never seem to get done? We’re looking at the excuses landlords can’t fob tenants off with in 2026, what your rights actually are when something goes wrong, and the steps you can take to push for repairs without unnecessarily putting your home at risk.

Fancy getting paid to eat out? Mystery dining can mean getting meals reimbursed and sometimes earning a fee on top, but how easy is it to actually get the work? We’ve found the legitimate opportunities, what you’ll be expected to do and the catches to know before signing up.

Meanwhile, if you’ve been asking “should I fix my energy price?”, we’ve got you covered. We explain what fixing really means, how to compare a deal properly and the circumstances where locking in could save you money, as well as when sticking where you are may make more sense.

And finally, free food you might not know is available. We’ve uncovered supermarket schemes helping families get food without paying, plus we’ve added even more restaurants and cafés to our kids eat free or for £1 list. Definitely check before you pay full price this summer.
