Probable good news. For those of us living or working in Cumbria.
It's almost free money. The tourism industry here offers a discount card for locals, called MyCumbria. That costs £20 a year.
One of the offers is 4×6=£24 discounts at Booths supermarkets.
OK, yes, Booths isn't cheap (think Waitrose). So. Sad to say, free money is only for Booths-level families.

Does anyone know where I can find out about phone call costs being a barrier to access for people living in poverty?

I know many people get 'inclusive' minutes, but not everyone...

- Tipico post en $birdsite: "mucho apoyo a palestina pero ahora las feministas no decis nada del velo, hipócritas"

- Tipico post en bloski: "que pasa croquelievers! recordad que hasta el sábado podeis conseguir un 10% de descuento en croquetas en Glovo con mi código KXPLOTC10N?JJSALU2"

- Tipico post en Mastodon: "buah peña descubrin hai calcetíns da marca de excavadoras CATERPILLAR e que son moi quentiños e baratos e duran moitos anos #vimesboots"

¿Pero é que queda algunha duda?

USB communication on cheap bluepills giving me a headache. Of course, it took me a couple of days to figure that out #VimesBoots

It is never a bad time to post about the Vimes 'Boots' Theory of Socio-economic Unfairness. #BootsTheory #VimesBoots #Pratchett #TerryPratchett #Discworld

Another example of #VimesBoots today.

LastWeekRyn bought potatoes and apples with all the good intentions of using them in meals. LastWeekRyn failed in that pursuit.

So today I made baked oatmeal and salt potatoes knowing that because we bought a chest freezer and a vacuum sealer, I have the means and space to store them for later use. The amount of money and time I will save because of this makes it worth it.

But the initial outlay is pretty big.
