At this time of year, the purse strings can feel like they've stretched as far as they can.
We're nearing the end of a summer where we returned to something like normal life after 18 months of lockdown, while lots of people also managed to get away - either in the UK or to sunnier climes abroad.

That's where this fantastic ECHO competition comes in.
We've teamed up with Love2Shop vouchers to offer a lucky winner £250 to spend on the high street.
The vouchers can be used in stores including Foot Locker, River Island and Marks & Spencer, to name just a few.
To enter, all you have to do is fill out the form below and sign up for the Echo Daily newsletter, our parenting newsletter Lemon-Aid, or both. It's as easy as that.
Full terms and conditions are on the form but the closing date is September 5 so don't hang about. Good luck and here's hoping you'll soon be £250 better off.
