More control, more savings

This past month, I very much loved trying out Snoop´s latest app features, such as their smart spending analysis, custom categories, and their very clever in-depth transaction analysis. Try it out for yourselves, so you are even more in control of your finances.

By the way, did you know you can get your parcels collected for just £0.30 directly from your home, without having to visit the post office? But better be quick, that promotion ends on 26th September. Thanks for the heads up Snoop.

What did I save this month thanks to Snoop? 

Well, I grabbed a free iced cappuccino from Costa Coffee, thanks to Vodafone VeryMe Rewards, bought 5 Odeon cinema tickets for £25, courtesy of Groupon, grabbed a 60-day free tastecard to eat out for less, and had “unlimited pizzas” mid-week lunch at Pizza Hut for £8.99. On the wellbeing side of things, I got complimentary access to the Balance Meditation app, a fantastic saving of £68.

With the ongoing uncertainties around travel in mind, I treated my partner to a stay-cation in London. We went to a lovely hotel for the night, enjoyed going out for food with a view, and even got £100 cashback on our stay, thanks to American Express offers. Do check them out should you hold an Amex - there are treasures to suit everyone´s taste and budget.

On that note, I was pleased to hear the CMA raised a formal enquiry about Covid-19 PCR test providers, with prices currently ranging between £25 and £200, hence making it difficult to properly budget for these expenses when going abroad.

Also, did you know, roaming charges return next year? Depending on your provider, you may get charged up to £2/ day starting from Jan 2022. It can be as low as £1/ day if you pre-purchase your allowance in advance. I recommend you to check in with your provider as to what the rules are, and if/when roaming charges are indeed coming back. 

Thanks Snoop for yet another month of helping me be better off – I very much appreciate it.
