So for the third week of 2023, you’d save £3. For the 25th week, you’d put aside £25.
“52-week savings challenge.

A third added: “Be firm. Don’t give up. I think I’ve £10 already there n it’s meant to be a£ for this week. I’m doing penny challenge too.”
She’s not the only one sharing easy ways to save online – Katie took to Instagram to share an easy way her followers could save more than £7300 before Christmas if they put little amounts away each day.
“Okay. I appreciate not everyone has this kind of money to just fritter away (or to save!) every day.
“But I just wanted to illustrate how small amounts add up and how easy it actually is to spend a lot of money.
“£2.50 every day could be a coffee on the way to work.
“£5 every day could be buying lunch.”
She added: “Sometimes though, we just need a little perspective – isn’t it crazy how much it adds up over the year?”
