He then shared a number of different checks people should make to ensure they're not left out of pocket. To make the most of these, people are advised to open their wallets or purses and take a thorough look.
Among Mr Lewis' list is advice to check your driving licence has not expired, or isn't about to expire, as failing to renew it could see motorists hit with a fine of up to £1,000.
He also suggests those looking to save cash switch banks in order to obtain a switching bonus - free cash. A number of banks currently offer cash for new customers, and you could get up to £200 if you are eligible.
Other ways consumers can save include getting a railcard, checking your debit card overdraft and filing receipts. You can read the MSE article in full here
