Tools we use

Ad: some links below are referral links. I may get a reward if you sign up, and it costs you nothing.

What we use for the weekly shop Tuck: instant cashback on 200+ shops

Buy a cashback card in the app, pay at Tesco, Asda, John Lewis and more, and the cashback lands in your wallet straight away. Tuck says rates go up to 25% and vary by shop, so check the app before you pay.

Referral link: use code YOUCE74 and we both get a bonus (Tuck says up to £10). Terms apply.

What we use for other currencies Revolut

Hold up to 36 currencies, spend in 150+ and send money to 160+ countries (Revolut's figures). Fees and plan limits apply.

Referral link: I may get a reward if you sign up.

What we use for Pots and our joint account Monzo: up to £50 when you join

A free UK current account. We use Pots for groceries and Umrah savings, and a joint account for the household. FSCS protected up to £120,000 (Monzo's wording). UK residents only.

Referral link: we both get a reward. Amount depends on the account you open. Terms apply, check Monzo's current offer.

Bank links are for UK residents. Use them as a current account only: both apps offer interest-paying savings, which you may want to skip. Ask a qualified scholar about your own case.
