- TO CELEBRATE the Great British Bake Off returning to TV, money-saving website TopCashback.co.uk is offering £15 cashback on a £25 spend at Asda Groceries. Keen bakers can pick up their favourite ingredients and try out the challenges at home - and those not wishing to don an apron can pick up a ready-made treat instead while still getting the cashback. This deal is available to anyone joining TopCashback for the first time and is valid until September 10. For more information visit TopCashback.co.uk/tcb-asgro/.

- Sainsbury's Bank has relaunched its credit card with 32 months' interest-free spending and a bonus of up to £50 worth of Nectar points. During the first two months you get 1,000 bonus Nectar points (worth £5) each time you spend £35 or more at Sainsbury's, up to a maximum of 10,000 points (worth £50). Thereafter you get two points per pound spend in Sainsbury's and one point per £5 spent anywhere else. Find out more at www.sainsburys.co.uk and click on the ‘bank’ tab. Remember - don't take out a card unless you are sure you can make the repayments and don’t even apply for one if you think you will need another credit check for something important soon, such as a mortgage. An excessive number of credit checks in a short period of time can affect your eligibility for financial products.
