Single mum saved £18,000 by using two apps, cancelling subscriptions and quitting Amazon

A single mum has revealed how she managed to save £18,000 over a three-year period by reining in her spending - with the help of two free apps. Nasreen Brittain, from Maidenhead, who is in her 50s and works as a PA with the NHS, turned to Snoop and Plum to monitor her spending, the Mirror reports.

Snoop will analyse your bank accounts and determine how much you're spending at certain retailers each month, and will also remind you when subscriptions are due for renewal. Meanwhile Plum suggests amounts to save by balancing earnings and outgoings.

Nasreen admitted she was shocked to find she had spent £2,500 on Amazon in just a year, and she also cancelled phone contracts and found a cheaper deal with Netflix. She says Snoop has saved her £6,000 since she downloaded it two years ago.
