Let’s save and make money in spring! The sun is shining and flowers are blossoming, which can only mean one thing… Summer is just around the corner! (We can dream, anyway).
There are lots of money-making and money-saving opportunities in spring that we should all take advantage of.
Take a look below for our list of 30 wise and wonderful ways to make money this spring.
March – Save and switch
Get cracking at the beginning of spring and make some extra cash before the end of the month.
Make money with online surveys
If you have some free time in your lunch break or a spare half an hour in the evenings, why not fill in a few online surveys for cash?
We here at MoneyMagpie recommend starting with Toluna, Inbox Pounds.
You won’t be rolling in dosh, but paid surveys are a great way to make extra cash for very little effort.
For more MoneyMagpie recommended survey sites see our article here.
Switch YOUR bank account AND save EXTRA SPRING MONEY
Strangely most of us are more likely to get divorced than switch bank account. Yet, switching to a bank account with better offers can actually make you money.
There’s a lot of competition at the moment so it is a great time to make the switch.
Find out more about making money by switching bank accounts here and then compare the latest deal on our comparison pages here.
SWITCH BROADBAND PROVIDER
One way of de-cluttering your monthly outgoings is to switch internet providers. Many consumers sign up to ‘broadband bundles’. This means they end up paying for a landline and television package that goes unused. If you don’t use your home phone to make calls or only watch on-demand shows, do away with ‘bundles’. Opting for a broadband-only package can help de-clutter your bills and save you money.
Many consumers are put off switching internet providers. The thought of being without internet for weeks on end and missing out on significant savings can be a worry. But sorting it out can save you hundreds over the years.
save money IN SPRING from Easter
Special occasions are always great ways to earn quick cash and Easter is no different.
Hampers make a creative yet inexpensive gift for your friends and family – and they can be a good money maker at the same time.
Cakes and savoury baskets are also popular to sell at markets and in fairs. Easter is only a few weeks away, so get prepared and give yourself the chance to make a bit of cash out of it here!
Make money dog walking IN SPRING
Dog walking is a great way to make money on the side and get fit at the same time.
Being a dog walker is as simple as it sounds. You arrange to pick up the animals, take them for a walk and then return them home.
If you love the companionship of dogs but don’t want the responsibility of owning and looking after one full time, dog walking could be the perfect way for you to earn some extra money.
Your first stop should be our essential article on how to make £60 an hour by dog walking.

SAVE ON PET COSTS
It’s National Pet Month which aims to encourage responsible pet ownership.
Keeping pets can be an expensive business. With vet’s bills, food, kennels and insurance to consider, the average cost of looking after a dog is close to £1,000 per year. Even cats can cost well over £500.
Good pet insurance can save you a packet if your pet is ill.
