Have you heard of Zeek the online marketplace for gift vouchers?

As you know I really love to bring you really simple ways to make and save money. This is one of the best ideas I have heard in a while, I hate money being wasted and this is such a great way to prevent that.

Zeek is such a cool idea, a simple but super concept…basically it is the go to place to buy and sell gift vouchers and gift cards.

I don’t know about you but my kids often get gift cards as gifts and often for places that don’t sell the specific toy they are hankering after. I regularly become the buyer of their gift cards and end up with a little pile that just sits doing nothing in my purse. I would often much rather have the money back!  I sometimes get paid in gift vouchers too and again would much rather have the cash. I really cannot wait to give this a go.

Zeek is the perfect place to sell these gift cards before they expire and before the y get forgotten in the back of a drawer somewhere.  Apparently 30% of vouchers in the world are not used each year. That amounts to about £65 billion of unused vouchers. Oh my goodness what an absolute waste. Don’t be part of that download Zeek and get unwanted any vouchers sold!

Zeek is also a fabulous place to buy vouchers, for yourself or as a gift for someone else. You can find such an array of gift sales on offer. There are even iTunes voucher for sale with 5-15% off the retail value. How convenient is that! I love to buy iTunes vouchers particularly for my teenage nephews and nieces as it gives them lots of choice over what to get. Getting a voucher for less than its value is brilliant!

You can chose between

• eGift Card
• Physical Gift Card
• Printable eVoucher

Such a simple way to save.

I love it when a brilliant idea comes along and quite simply Zeek is a brilliant idea that is also really simple to put into practice. It’s really easy to navigate and use.You can buy and sell whilst on your mobile too. You can get the app by clicking here

Thrifty tips

I have been sharing money saving tips regarding teaching children about money over at baby budgeting this month and I would really recommend showing them how services like Zeek work. They are often fascinated and it’s a good education for them.

Don’t forget over on Pinterest I have a whole huge board full of tips on thirfty family life do come and pay us a visit. And of course if you haven’t been to Wise Bread recently and looked at all their money saving articles well then you really are in for treat.

Spread the word

It’s always a great idea to share money saving and money making tips so do spread the word. You can earn £5 for every new friend you refer to Zeek who joins and makes their first purchase. You could also share my Pinterest boards with your money saving friends.

Have a great budget friendly week
