Not an app but let’s be honest, has anyone done more for our wallets over the past 20 years than Martin Lewis? From household bills to shopping, MoneySavingExpert really is a one-stop-shop for saving money.

Cooking on a bootstrap

OK, so this isn’t an app either, but cookingonabootstrap delivers amazing recipes from award-winning food writer Jack Monroe, that not only taste great, but won’t break the bank either.

So that’s it. Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.
