Meal plan
Meal planning is the best easy to save money as a family. Use our templates in our Resource Vault to help you plan.

Use money-saving apps
Use money managing apps like Snoop to keep your shopping bill under control. Using an app like Snoop can really help you keep your money in check. Snoop* can help you build up your savings while showing you exactly where your money is going.
You can link all your accounts to it. It’s very transparent! It’s free to use and perfect if you prefer all your knowledge in one place.
Switch suppliers
Go through all your bills and check you’re on the best deal. This should be done at least every 6 months. We all know we should be doing it regularly and it really can save you money. If the whole idea fills you with dread then have a look at Bulb. They make switching really simple, promote going green and also offer you a bonus when you switch.
Use cashback sites
Use cashbacks if you shop online for anything. We recommend OhMyDosh, Quidco and Swagbucks. You get money off whenever you shop online through their sites which can really come in handy once baby is born.
It doesn’t cost you a penny to use them. If you make a purchase through their site you receive the money. It’s that simple!
We use OhMyDosh* for making money through surveys and getting cashback on anything we buy online. Find out more OhMyDosh here and what we think of them.

Downshift your food
Buying value ranges is a great way to save money. You don’t have to buy everything fresh either. Use cans or frozen food to make cooking your meals quick and easy. Start by buying the lower range items and slowly work your way up depending on if you liked the product taste or not.
