The 1p challenge backed by Martin Lewis will save you more than £600 before next Christmas

Brits are being encouraged to take on the 1p Challenge in order to save over £600 before next Christmas.

The money-saving habit could see you pocket an extra £667.95 by December 21, 2023 if you start now. The challenge has previously been backed by money-saving expert Martin Lewis.

Martin previously told viewers on the ITV Martin Lewis Money Show in 2021: "There’s a big savings community out there who do this, it’s called the 1p Challenge. Basically, you save a penny on the first day of the year in a jar or piggy bank, 2p on the second, 3p on the third and keep going throughout the year - by the last day of December you’re saving £3.65, so that would give you £667. 95 in total.”
