A mum who has become a personal finance guru with a blog and podcast about saving money and home budgeting says she managed to cut £912 from her monthly household spending by cutting just three bills. Lynn Beattie, who is better known as Mrs MummyPenny, has revealed some of her top tips on the day budgets rocket for millions of people across the country.
Lynn, a single mum living in a four-bed semi-detached house with three children, told The Mirror she saved almost £1,000 a year just by cancelling non-essential bills. She said: "These creep in, free trials that you forget to cancel or services that you are not getting your monies worth. Go through your list of monthly bills and be strict, cancel those that you don’t need."
Lynn started by cancelling Amazon Prime, Disney+ and Mindful Chef recipe boxes - a saving of £76 a month or £912 a year. She also has a tip to cut energy bills - which are going up from April 1, saying: "Check to see if you are in credit on your energy bill, if so you have a case to get your monthly direct debit reduced."
