Extra Cash & Savings for Irish Households

The cost of living is high. Here is your toolkit to lower bills, claim back tax, and earn legit side-income in Ireland.

💡 Why this page exists: We see thousands of people looking for "free food" on our site. While immediate help is vital, lowering your monthly "fixed costs" (Energy, Broadband, Tax) is the best way to free up cash permanently.

The "Big 3" Bill Killers Save ~€400+

Loyalty doesn't pay in Ireland. If you haven't switched these in 12 months, you are paying the "lazy tax."

🔌 Electricity & Gas

New customers get rates up to 30% cheaper than loyal ones. Average savings are €300-€500/year.

📶 Broadband

Paying more than €40/month? You're paying too much. New deals often start at €30-€35/month.

📱 Legit "Beer Money" (Surveys) Earn €10-€50/mo

Most survey sites are scams. These are the only two we recommend for Ireland that actually pay out in vouchers or PayPal.

1. Irish Opinions (Best for Ireland)

This is specifically for Irish residents. You earn points for surveys which you can swap for Tesco, Boots, or TK Maxx vouchers. It pays reasonably well per survey.

2. Swagbucks (Best for Volume)

A global giant. Earn points for surveys, watching videos, or playing games. Pays out in Amazon Gift Cards or PayPal cash.

💶 Claim Your Money Back Avg Refund €1,100

Thousands of Irish workers overpay tax (PAYE) or forget to claim relief on medical expenses and "Work from Home" costs.
