Hi there,


We're currently putting together a money saving feature in SHE and are on the lookout for case studies, or anybody that would like to be involved. Please find the summary below and drop me a line if you would like to be involved or know of anyone suitable. Our deadline is Friday.


'SHE are on the hunt for 2 women between the ages of 30-45 to feature in an expenditure MOT to help them find out how they can save money.


One woman needs to be single and one in a relationship. We then need them to keep a dairy of their expenditure for one week, including everything from bills to food shopping to clothes to school expenses to morning newspapers.


At the moment we're putting together a list of industry experts - such as financial psychologists, shopping experts and investors - and financial advisors who will then go through the expenditure and let them know where they can save money - it might be from switching their electricity company to the most cost effective way to food shop but we promise that they will find handy ways to save, it's their job afterall! Following on from the week long diary, both women will then try out the saving tips for one week and see if they've made a big difference and, more importantly, if they've saved money. All they'd then need to do is write a few sentences about how the tips helped and if they'd recommend 'cash diaries' to other people. They'd also need to be shot for the mag and we'll provide hair, make up and catering. We think that the feature is a great opportunity for two women to have an expenditure overhaul and receive free, valuable information that could save them hundreds of pounds.'


Look forward to hearing back from you,


Many thanks,


Holly

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
