A personal finance content creator claims he's found the best way to save money on flights - and says it's more effective than using popular search engines such as Google flights and Skyscanner. Casper Opala, who goes by the handle Casper Capital and has more than 8 million subscribers on social media, regularly shares money-saving tips - and frequently advises on saving money on flights and holidays.

An AI tool has been used to review public responses to a government consultation for the first time and is now set to be rolled out more widely in an effort to save money and staff time.

The government built Consult to be among its new package of AI tools, nicknamed "Humphrey", which they claim will "speed up work in Whitehall and cut back on consulting spending".

They hate paying more at the supermarket even more than they hate paying more at the pump. Food inflation was arguably their main reason for President Donald Trump's win, and Trump's failure to reverse it (while imposing tariffs that accelerate it) is arguably the main reason for his sinking approval ratings.

Downloading games is far more convenient than buying them on a disc these days but if you play on consoles, buying a physical copy often costs substantially less – especially a few weeks or months after a game comes out.

"Vampire power" – also referred to as "phantom power" or "standby power" – can account for as much as 10% of a household's electricity bill, says the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This can really add up.
