£32 saved this month on the shopping bill and a sustainable surprise

I set myself a target to reduce my grocery spending after using Snoop to monitor my spend for the category last month. 

I tracked my transactions since, and made sure to make what I bought last! Here's how Snoop came in handy for me in Feb.

A heads-up Snoop on the latest supermarket offers

I shop for groceries at all types of stores like most people, be it supermarkets or local corner shops. As for the supermarket stores, Sainsbury's is my closest, and this month I did the majority of my grocery shopping there. As such a handy Snoop with a tonne of links for the latest savings at Sainsbury's got the thumbs up and I picked up some alternative items this month to make the most of the offer. I saved over £25 from discounted items shared in this cost-saving Snoop this month 💸

Having these types of cost-savings really adds up, especially when you go into the shop with a list knowing what you're going to get.

Nectar (points!) sure taste sweet

Snoop alerted me to a nice little bonus too — Sainsbury's ran a promo offering up to 1000 Nectar points (which can be used in-store for £1 off for every 100 points), just for opening up the Nectar app. I opened it up and got 500 Nectar points for free, so that was a welcomed £5 knocked off of my shopping bill 🍯

Unexpected sustainability

I care about sustainability, and try to do my part, from investing in purpose-driven, ethical and environmentally-friendly companies, to making more conscious everyday decisions with my wallet.

Snoop surprised me this month with the recommendation of an app called Giki Badges to review the impact of my regular grocery shopping. I watched a video online of how the app worked, and set myself a reminder to download it so I can try it out the next time I head to the shops. Now this one might not save me money upfront, but long-term it brings a positive impact — and that's important to me and my family. 

Importantly, this showed me just how useful Snoop is becoming for far more than just my financial wellbeing. I look forward to more sustainability-encouraging Snoops like this, especially ones that can save me money while saving the planet 🌍

What's to come?

I haven't set myself a specific goal for next month, and that's okay — sometimes just keeping an eye on your money and looking out for ways Snoop can help you to have better peace of mind is all you need. 

Who knows, next month there could be some showstopper Snoops, and I'll be on the app daily to keep an eye out for them.
