Help and safety tips

How the site works, and how to meet neighbors safely.

How PennySaver works

Pick your town to see this week's local deals, grocery sales, free stuff and things to do. Posting a listing is free; see post a listing and the posting rules.

Staying safe

The basics are below. For the warning signs and where to report a problem, see how to avoid scams.

  • Meet in daylight, in a public place if you can, or bring someone with you.
  • Never pay before you've seen the item, and never send money to hold something.
  • Don't share codes sent to your phone. Nobody from PennySaver will ever ask for one.
  • For free stuff, give a street and cross street, not your house number, until you've agreed a time.
  • If something feels wrong, report the listing and walk away.
