People up and down the UK continue to bear the brunt of the cost of living crisis with many of us looking for ways to save where we can.
With the price of food, petrol, energy bills, and other things soaring, people are becoming more creative with ways to cut back where possible. One woman has managed to save hundreds of pounds after spotting a trick on Money Saving Expert 's advice page.
Taking the phrase "every penny counts quite literally", TikToker @lucybesant joined other budding money savers to participate in the popular 1p saving challenge - but made sure to add her own unique spin on the interactive method, the Mirror reports.

Those who are looking to take part in the handy tool will save a jaw-dropping £667.95. Lucy's TikTok video has already raked in more than half a million views to date.
Bravely admitting that she's "terrible at saving", Lucy detailed the handy tip over supergroup ABBA 's iconic tune 'Money, Money, Money', which was extremely fitting. She explained: "Good morning everyone, I've started the 1p saving challenge from Money Saving Expert, and I've just gone through my purse and found £2.86, £3.64, and £3.63, so now it's time to put it in the jar and cross it off my little sheet.
"I'm terrible at saving, so I think this is something that I can actually do! Once you cross them all off, you actually save £667.95, which is amazing!"
The rules are straightforward, just tick one box off per day. Money Saving Expert's forum says: "The idea is perfectly straightforward and can be interpreted differently by many.
"You start by saving 1p on 1 January, then 2p on 2 January, then 3p on 3 January and so on – saving what you saved the day before, plus a penny more each day – right the way up to £3.65 saved on the last day of December.
"If you started on January 1, then by December 31 you'll have saved a grand total of £667.95."
