Birthday’s, bills and balance – AKA April!

As well as being super-focused on good money-saving habits, I have one more thing in common with Snoop – we both have our Birthday in April, Happy Birthday Snoop!

My mum and my husband’s birthday are all in April so it’s a busy month for my spending!

Thankfully with a little help from Snoop, I’ve made savings on great gifts.

Price Hikes

My personalised April price hikes have been invaluable. Do I want to pay £37-48 more a year for services or bills I’m already budgeting for? Absolutely not!

My broadband bundle and mobile contract will increase by £3 per month (£36 a year), so I’ve made sure that my contract dates are stored in the Payment Hub so I can get a better deal at exactly the right time!

In the meantime I can offset some of my mobile bill with Airtime Rewards, a Snoop recommendation which I’ve been using since last month. 

Free chocolate

Snoop also helped me discover Shopmium and this month I became a ‘Gold’ Shopmium app member!

This means I was rewarded with a free chocolates for my birthday. And there’s only one thing better than chocolate – free chocolate!

As well as saving on groceries and beauty items I’ve earned referral credits by encouraging my friends to join. Win win! 

Smart spending

Snoop knows I shop regularly at Sainsbury’s and has presented three helpful Snoops: a link to their latest offers, ways to save with a delivery pass and an offer for 25% off 6 bottles of wine.

It hasn’t stopped there, it’s also helped me check I was making the most of Nectar rewards and made sure I wasn’t missing out on points.

April has been a more expensive month for me and Snoop helps me see where my money is going - hello family birthdays, I see you!

I’m finding the categories really useful and track the top five categories I’m spending in.

I then think, is this working for me? If the answer’s yes, I’m getting the balance right.

If it isn’t, I know Snoop gives my spending habits nowhere to hide and helps me make money work for me.
