A mum-of-three has revealed the simple ways she is using apps and tech to get better value for money and bring in an extra £3,588 for her family per year. Jess Warner, 38, has perfected the art of second-hand shopping online, uses several money-saving apps and has a side hustle copywriting for websites.
