This is what people in Wakefield had to say about saving money in lockdown

According to the survey, which was commissioned by cash-saving service Raisin UK, Brits are saving up to £700 a month.

But we asked our readers whether they agreed with the findings, and many did not.

This is what you had to say about the survey - and your own experiences of saving money in lockdown:

Emma Drinkwater: "I think this only applies to those who are above the bread line. By that i mean those who don't scrape by month by month, because those who usually spend on things like meal deals, coffees out, days out, restaurants, holidays, expensive haircuts ect ect are saving on there expenditures which out weighs the higher bills. Where as others who don't get many luxuries haven't saved anything by not doing these and have only seen an increase in bills due to being home."

Louise Sadler Harris: "Nope as worse off as hubby furloughed and I'm still working. Don't get how people are better off as bills etc still need paying, less on childcare initially but more on food."

Peter Mackle: "When you're on over 70's highly vulnerable lockdown you can't go anywhere to spend your income. Last put petrol in car 3 months ago, it's done less than 10 miles since. Baking own bread, growing own vegetables etc."

James Alexander Remblance Taylor: "I definitely am. Spending much less and having lots of income left over each month. Won’t be the same for everyone though."

Emma Salsbury: "Yes. No kids activities to pay for. Was barely using any diesel until last week when kids went back to school. Then if we go out most cafes are closed. So we just take a picnic, which saves spending £20+ in the cafe. I'm still skint though. Just not as skint as usual."

Claire Bell: "No not true. Have a reduced income due to being furloughed and spending more on food because I am at home all day."

Richard Whatley: "If you are still working from home yes .... If you are redundant or furlough no."

Debra Elizabeth Burkill: "If this is true why have there been so many people claiming universal credit? DWP have said they have been unable to deal with all the extra claims?"

Laura Lumb: "We're not....spent a fortune on food... and no that's not takeaways it's a simple food shop."

Lee Thompson: "Nope spent more on food and beer than I would at work. Also using own electricity etc to work from home."

Kirstin Cullen: "Loads better off, hubby worked throughout so thankfully income hasn’t changed but outgoings have decreased. Food bill has gone up massively but without the meals out, random shopping trips, holidays and days out we are loads better off."
