Bbc Radio 5 Live
About this episode

Martin Lewis records the podcast from Lords to share his money saving tips while watching the cricket.

An explanation of your statutory return rights with a focus on what the law explicitly outlines as the timeframe you have to return online purchases.

We also run through the top 10 companies to haggle with in the UK, with haggling tips and how to make big savings from service firms in mature markets, such as mobiles, where everyone already has the product so companies need to retain existing customers.

He gives an update on the potential payouts for mis-sold car finance.

Martin makes a suggestion on how to get young people investing WITHOUT cutting the £20,000 tax-free cash ISA limit, as reports suggest Chancellor Rachel Reeves may be about to do.

Tell Us is about your longest financial innings and includes advice on the best bank current accounts that are currently available.

And Mastermind is swapped for Test Martin Special, or TMS for short, Eleanor Oldroyd and former England player Steven Finn help Adrian answer a cricket-themed question about what counts as legal tender.
