Expert's 12 tips to save £3,722 a year without making sacrifices

Consumer rights expert Scott Dixon has revealed how it is possible to make savings of more than £3,500 to help ease the cost-of-living crisis.

Mr Dixon, who runs The Complaints Resolver blog, told the Mirror that frugal choices have helped him to save £3,722 in one year without him having to make sacrifices.
