Consumer tech’s a huge part of our daily lives. We’d like to see what’s changed since we did this poll a year ago and this year we've added more gadgets including drones, GoPros and er Teasmades. Do MoneySavers still use certain gadgets? And which do you now rely on? Please choose as many options as you have, and if you don't have it don't tick it.

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
