Penny Pincher Press Mentions

The Penny Pincher has been very lucky to have had some fantastic mentions in the press, so I've added some of these to this page, so you can get an idea of the sort of things I get up to! There are additional mentions and radio interviews which I haven't added to the site, mainly due to being unable to find copies of the media or to avoid repetition of the same article via different media outlets.

Press and media are always welcome to get in touch via the email address: Howdy@thepennypincher.co.uk
