The News of the World's caped crusader spent last Sunday flying to supermarkets across Britain and handing out HUNDREDS OF POUNDS to shoppers about to buy our paper.
He'll be at it again TODAY-so don't forget to put the News of the World in your trolley.
You'll get £150 towards your bill at the checkout if our superhero spots you and taps you on the shoulder.
Last week John and Melanie Anderton were with their sons Daniel, 11, and one-year-old Charlie at Sainsbury's in Walton, LIVERPOOL, when they got the tap . . . and £150 in crisp notes.
Casino manager John, 42, said: "We've noticed a 40 per cent increase in our bills over the past year, so Captain Cash has made our week.
"It's a big relief having your shopping paid for because that means it's one less bill we have to worry about."
In EDINBURGH the Captain helped Steve and Sharon Mitchell and their two kids at Asda in Chessington.
Bus driver Steve, 37, said: "We've been finding it tough recently. This is a real pick-me-up."
Sharon, 38, a personal assistant, added: "You really are our hero. We don't how to thank you.
Captain Cash's next stop was in BELFAST, where Liam and Ursula Burns and their baby Cora were at Tesco in Lisburn, Co Antrim.
Nurse Ursula said: "This is a big help. I've noticed our bills going up recently."
In LONDON, it was the turn of Rebecca and Rob Wright in Morrisons, Camden Town.
Mum-of-three Rebecca, 36, said: "It's been a tough time for us. But it's my birthday today, so thanks to Captain Cash we're going to have a slap-up meal and celebrate in style."
Rob, 35, a security guard, said: "I'm going cook the roast we've bought today and enjoy a lovely big birthday cake as a family, all thanks to Captain Cash."

Dear Captain, I feel a bit of a fraud writing you when there are so many sick people in need, but it's not for myself but my sister-in-law Sue.
She is a carer for her elderly father {82} who had a hip replacement 3 times because the first 2 went wrong, he cannot walk without aid and he is very deaf he also had MRSA whilst he was in hospital this was a couple of years ago and Sue has taken care of him since, she never complains about anything, her husband has been unemployed a couple of years due to a back injury, but she would never ask for.or take any money from anyone so I thought we could give her a treat, she never goes out, drinks, or smokes, the only thing she likes is Cliff Richard, I had cancer myself in 2002, we had tickets then but I gave mine away, and as far as I know thats the last time she went anywhere. I am unemployed due to ill health, but managed to save some money towards my ticket but I cannot save enough for Sue, they are about 60-00 and its her birthday at the end of september, so it would be a surprise for her, if you can't manage it, thank you for reading my letter anyway, and give yourself a treat you deserve it for all the help you give people.
kindest regards

Our 2 daughters have Cystic Fibrosis and due a very bad year for our youngest daughter (5yrs) they have been nominated, and lucky enough to receive a wish from the Starlight Foundation. We are going to Florida for a week so they can swim with Dolphins. We are saving desperately, but as I am a full time carer and we have both of their birthdays and christmas coming up too we are worried a holiday of a lifetime will be ruined. Any help towards making their holiday a one to remember would be gratefully appreciated.

My mum is terminally ill with cancer and only today is being moved to the Ayrshire Hospice to see out her final days. I was due to go on holiday next week but have had to cancel my holiday with no refund with my husband and his kids but the kids have been so understanding despite their excitement about going (they are only 10 & 12) so I would like to take them somewhere later on to make up for it but as we lost all our money, can you help?

Hi Captain Cash,
My fiance and I are getting married in a year's time and have been working really hard doing up the house and saving for the wedding and now have no cash available for ourselves. We have been staying in every night and being extremely careful with our money but his birthday is coming up and I would like to get him a present but it costs £400-could you help out a bit? It's a TV so we can relax in front of it and rest whilst we save! He deserves it working 12 hour days, 7 days a week for weeks on end!!! Thanks a mill!!

When making curries from jarred contents, if one jar is not enough rather than using two, take a tin of chopped tomatoes and blend them and add them to the pot - the result a tasty, healthy and cheap meal. Also do not buy diced meat to use in the curry but cut up yourselves.

Hi captain cash, i was wondering if you could help me.
My twin babies were born 9 weeks early on the 6th November 2008. They spent 4 weeks in the neonatal unit of Ninewells hospital as they only weighed 3lbs each when they were born.
They are both now doing really well, however when they were in hospital we had to wait for them to be put together in the same cot as the hospital only has two twin cots available.
The twins are getting christened in May and we have asked for no presents but donations to be made to Ninewells Neonatal, in order that the twins can donate a twin cot for other special care twins to use instead of having to wait to be put together when they come out of their individual incubators. Any donation that you can make would be very much appreciated.
yours Beverley, Christopher, and the twins Ralphie and Arwen Hood. thank you

Dear Captain Cash,
I am writing to ask for your help!
I am a first year student nurse, and I have only recently passed my driving test. I have been using a very old car that a family member gave me, to get from a to b, but last week it finally gave up the ghost!
I am asking for your help, as the hospital where I have been placed for the next 4 years is a 45 minute drive away! I am in desperate need of another vehicle, and anything you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Captain Cash
My neice and 2 nephews didn't receive any xmas presents this year due to their mum losing her job and their father being an alcoholic. They have had a hard time this year as he is abusive towards them and their mum and only recently their mum come to her senses to eventually leave him and get their lives sorted out with no intention of looking back. On their christmas list they wanted a wii and a laptop between the three of them. I would be grateful if you could help in cheering them up with some sort of gift.
Email me and I can give you their details

On recieving my renewal notice for my Home Insurance with Tesco- even though I had not claimed the premuim had increased to £40 per month from £28 increase of £144 for the year - I looked on line & had a better quote from Natwest at £30 per month - so rather than change companies I called Tesco and they met the price !
I did the same with my Pet insurance for my 7 year old dog - Direct Line wanted £30 per month - increased from £28 per month - Tesco quoted £21 online so Direct line matched it - again a saving of £108 - if I had just accepted these renewals & and not bothered to look around -this would have been an increase of £252 a year ! I am going to look at all my insurances now and let you know how much I save .....

Money saving tips! Instead off boiling potatoes or veg in cold water,boil the kettle add to vegetables,saves electric/gas.Making custard or milk puddings use any evaporated milk half a can and half water,saves on fresh milk,gives a creamy pudding.

Hi Captain Cash,
I am not writing for myself but on behalf of a neighbour who is real need of help, he is a single man with some health difficulties which makes it difficult for him to live but he is an independent man who rightly deserves it, however he has been trying to receive benefits for a number of months now and although we have tried to help as much as we can with meals Christmas presents etc. to try to cheer him up he is getting in dire financial need, he has an Electric token meter and a Gas meter, which we try to help also, however we have part time jobs and we will try to help more, but he needs a bit more than we can give, please could you help him to relieve the pressure he is under? Even a little help with a weeks shopping an utilities would go a long way to help him, or even better a sternly worded letter to the Benefits Agency asking why its taken so long to help him when he is in such need!

Allocate one "money free" day a week where you will not use your card or spend any cash.
Stop buying books that you'll read only once and join the library. They'll also order the latest bestsellers for you free of charge.
Use some of your spare time to volunteer. It's fun - you'll meet people, learn new skills and it's also free. For further info check out www.volunteering.org.uk

For all you mums and dads using baby wipes to clean your little ones at meal times - listen up - buy 3 or 4 face cloths and use these at meal times to clean faces and hands. Just rinse them under the tap and they can be used again and again. I use one a day for my daughter and then I chuck it in the wash. Saves a lot of money on baby wipes and also helps the environment.
I WOULD LIKE THIS TO PRINTED IN THE PAPER FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

bein a single working mum of 2 children aged 5 & 7 i was most disturbed to see that a woman of 7 children on benefits is having £12,000 paid a month for her rent. My 5 year old then came home from school and asked if she could have school dinners. i had to tell her no as i cant afford it. she said "but mummy u go to work so u can pay and my friend has school dinners".
at £1.83 per day for each child it is too expensive.

Money saving tip. Buy Economy baked beans and add a splash of tomato sauce. They taste the same as Heinz.
By sue raynbird. Posted October 8 2008 at 4:25 PM.
When boiling things in a saucepan on the hob always make sure that you put the lid on the pan as this will mean that it will come to the boil quicker, saving energy and reducing your carbon footprint!
Most handwash can be watered down by about a quarter without it affecting the amount of lather you get, makes it last much longer.
By Louise. Posted October 7 2008 at 1:35 PM.
When you can't get any more out of you make up tube, body/hand lotion/cream, fake tan/moisturiser container, using sharp scissors cut the bottle in the middle all the way around - that way you can reach the rest of the lotion which gets stuck - you will get at least another few days use if not longer. For make up I cut off the bottom of the tube then seal with a peg or 2 - this lasts even longer - you will surprised at how much you have been throwing away - don't forget to keep out of reach of children as container can be sharp once cut.
By Angie P. Posted October 7 2008 at 12:39 PM.
Fill up your kettle in the morning and boil once, then pour the boiled water into a flask to use for the rest of the day. This saves having to reboil the kettle thus saving electricity and you don't have to wait so long for your next cup of Tea!

Hi Captain Cash
Here are a few of my money saving tips:-
- Never throw bread away, even slightly stale bread can be used for bread puddings. Or even to make into breadcrumbs, freeze and use at a later date.
- Prior to cooking, check what food in the fridge is near use by date, making sure you can make something with that product, so you don't end up wasting food.
- Baby wipes are expensive, use a damp flannel to wipe the little ones faces when they get messy, saves a fortune.
- Baked bean pie is lovely, but really cheap, baked beans then mashed potatoes with cheese on the top - the kids will love it!
Thank you

Use baby sterilising tablets instead of bleach, they clean the inside of cups safely, they bring net curtains up sparkling white, they clean all surfaces and I even throw one in the toilet cistern at night and in the morning a lovely clean flush around the bowl. I also use tesco's tumble dryer sheets they are half the price of other ones and I cut one up into tiny tiny pieces and hoovered it up, instant hoover deodoriser. I would love a fifty pound voucher I have a cat and he eats more than me (luv him to bits)

A GREAT WAY TO SAVE MONEY I USE IS TO NEVER EVER SPEND MY TESCO CLUB CARD VOUCHERS IN STORE. ALWAYS SEND THEM OFF AS PART OF A CLUB CARD DEAL, YOU RECIEVE 4 TIMES THE AMOUNT BACK.

Get rid of all your unwanted cds, DVDS,books...by selling them through amazon.co.uk .I started doing it last year and I made 130 pounds in my first week.
You list your item on the website, put a price and wait for it to sell. When it sold,you just have to ship it to the buyers adress and amazon will directly transfer the money into your bank account.No pay pal involved. You ll have to give a percentage of the sale to amazon but you can make more money that way then trying to sell it to shops like cash convertors or on markets. Its hyper secure and safe, I do recommend it to everyone!
By kate. Posted October 1 2008 at 3:57 PM.
When using washing liquid/powder & softener only use the manufacurers recommended amount. I found I was using twice as much as I needed!
Mix a more expensive breakfast cereal with clusters and fruit in with a no frills fruit & fibre one it tastes just as good.
Share your tips with others & you might get paid for it!

By Jayne Roberts. Posted October 1 2008 at 9:31 PM.
Have clothes swopping parties with your friends at one of your homes and get new clothes for nothing...plus it will be a chance to socialise in a cheap and cheerful way.
Take packed lunches from home to work instead of spending money on sandwiches every day. I saved up to £5 a day doing this. I also bought snacks in multi packs and bought them into work and saved the money I would have spent on vending machines at work.
Use salt as an exfoliator or sand from the beach when on holiday instead of buying one.
When buying children's books, charity shops always have a good selection and great prices. I recently saw disney books on sale in one charity shop for less than 50p.
By Manisa. Posted September 30 2008 at 11:26 PM.
Dear Captain Cash
Plan ahead for meals so you only buy what you need.
If bread is on offer buy two loaves and freeze one for later.
Go later in the day shopping as there is more chance of food being reduced in price.
By Christine Baker. Posted September 30 2008 at 6:17 PM.
Dear captain cash- my money management tip is,when you have to write a cheque (I'm obliged to for school dinner money and childrens clubs etc)take the amount the cheque is for from the account it will go out from (usually a current account) and put into a savings account that is easily accessible. That way you will know where you are with the balance in your cheque account and can then return he money when the cheque is cashed. The savings account will probably pay a higher amount of interest than a current account and it may be that you can manage without the "cheque money" especially when it takes a long while for the cheque to be cashed and can have at least a small amount saved for a rainy day.

Hi Captain Cash here are some tips for all readers. Many thanks!
When using cotton wool balls, halve them so you get more in the pack to use.
Instead of buying books, join your local library and borrow them instead. This way you can give them back and take out other books without having to shell out for new ones in the shops.
Buy birthday and Christmas gifts in the sales all year around and January sales and keep in a box until you need them.
Visit www.applausestore.com for free tickets to be in the audience of top shows (such as X Factor).
When giving presents make handmade ones which can be cheaper and also adds a personal touch.
By Manisa. Posted September 30 2008 at 1:01 PM.
If you like brand foods like Heinz etc, then before you buy your ketchup check the price your paying for the container, Heinz tomato sauce in a glass bottle is normally at least 25% cheaper than the same size in a plastic container. You are not changing the product just the container you buy it in, I was really shocked by the difference, and one week the glass 372g was 50% cheaper. Thought your readers might want to know about this money saving deal.
By Kate Taylor. Posted September 30 2008 at 7:34 AM.
if you drink water and buy it from the shop save money by filling up a 2litre bottle with tap water and store in the fridge saves money and is just the same.
By leah whitehead. Posted September 29 2008 at 8:52 PM.
i have 3 sons and with between them and my husband and I we were using nearly a roll of toilet tissue a day. considering some brands cost over £4 for 9 it was getting expensive. so one day I bought the shops 'value' pack to try. even if we use twice as much it only cost me £1.15 for 12 so we'll be saving quite alot over a few months. Id rather spend money on extra treats than boring old toilet roll!!!
And, no one has noticed the difference so they cant be that bad!

Beat the credit crunch by staying in. Visit your local library and hire a DVD or two for just over acouple of pounds, plus an added bonus you'll get to keep them for 7 days. Much cheaper than hiring from the Big DVD hire shop. Also check out thier sale area at the library i picked up a couple of ex-rental DVDs for two pound each from a stack of big named films to suit all the family.
By Samantha Martin. Posted September 29 2008 at 11:52 AM.
Try to make a habit of doing a monthly clearout of your home. Instead of giving everything to local charity shops, set up an ebay account and sell your unwanted items on there instead. And if you're not quite computer literate, how about setting up your own stall at a car boot
sale instead?

Another tip for your column (and hopefully £50 for me!) is to visit website www.freecycle.org.uk
Instead of sending perfectly usable stuff to the binmen, post it on here, it's amazing what people will take off your hands! You can also post WANTEDs! I've given away lots and also received things myself such as a new printer after mine died! Please don't abuse it though and sell items on as this goes against the ethos of freecycling.
By Mrs M Davison. Posted September 29 2008 at 11:26 AM.
My crunch busting tip to share is...
DITCH YOUR VACUUM! Use a carpet sweeper instead. Carpet sweeping is every bit as effective, you get warm (saving you being tempted to put the heating on and working off some calories to boot!). You'll save money on electricity, vacuum bags and filters.
By Mrs M Davison. Posted September 29 2008 at 11:21 AM.
Go shopping with a family member or friend and go halves on buy one get one free deals. That way you pay less for items and get one whole product each!
Use items in your kitchen as face masks - honey, egg, yougurt etc instead of buying expensive versions.

Mums with babies should join ebabyland.co.uk where you can swap baby clothes and accessories with other mums. For a small fee (it cost me £10) you can join for a year and swap as many times as you want. Joining has saved me a fortune.

IF YOU ARE ON A TIGHT BUDGET THEN DON'T GO TO THE BIG SUPERSTORES FOR YOUR WEEKLY SHOP AS YOU WILL BE TEMPTED TO SPEND MORE ON ALL THE EXTRAS EG CLOTHES, BOOKS ETC. A SMALLER STORE IS LESS LIKELY TO HOUSE THESE SORT OF THINGS.
I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE £50 VOUCHER PLEASE.

Buy a bag of soda crystals (about 50p) and mix into your box of soap powder for the washing machine, you use less and it gets clothes clean
