If you support your local food bank consider this: Buy the ‘brand up’ as this may actually help two sets of people out

If you support your local food bank consider this: Buy the ‘brand up’ as this may actually help two sets of people out

This video by enchantederinn highlights something that we’ve never thought about before when giving food to the food bank, the video is below but we will write it up here:

The couple put Stockwell’s (Tesco Own Brand) beans, Stockwell’s tin tomatoes and the sort of cheaper items thinking they just get more for what they can afford to spend and then the lady’s husband has this light bulb moment and he goes around and he puts all of the smart price Stockwell’s stuff back and swaps it for a brand up / price up. He said it’s because he doesn’t want all of the lowest-priced things to be gone for someone who doesn’t need to visit a food bank but doesn’t have enough money to buy the next brand up.

Important things to remember with everything we post:

  • If you earn over your personal allowance (currently £12,570 a year) HMRC need to get their % cut (even if the money is in cash or from another country)
  • If you’re working for yourself / earning an income on the side you need to let HMRC know – There are numerous benefits but also some drawbacks
  • You need to always ensure whatever you’re doing is legal and not hurting anyone else – be careful and always think twice
  • Some income streams may require you to have DBS check, licence, insurance or qualifications before you can start to profit from it, do your research.
  • Be careful that any additional income doesn’t compromise your studies or main income/job
  • If you work for a company check your contract, if you don’t inform them you’re working on other side projects outside of work they may have grounds to ownership on this work
