My 3rd 2020 goal of 'Save, save, save' has begun in earnest. I've changed my internet and landline services from BT to Vodafone. I'm saving £40 a month AND I have a better service. My BT contract ended last year and I'd been looking for a better deal. It had crept up to £62.99 which was outrageous! Vodafone have been installing super fast broadband round here so I signed up. £23 a month as I'm already a customer. £40 x 12 = £480
I pay £9 a month for my National Trust for Scotland family membership. I haven't visited any of their properties for 2 years, at least. So that's getting cancelled. £9 x 12 = £108
So, £588 to be saved this year. I'm going to transfer £49 into my savings account each month. I'm working on a few other monthly savings so hopefully I can add even more each month.
When I came back from holiday I had £130 in cash. I decided to use that cash to pay for everything this month. My cupboard and freezer were reasonably well stocked and I didn't have any big spending plans for January. I'm just over halfway through the month and still have £63 left. I've done a few small supermarket top up shops, replaced an empty Sodastream gas canister and went to see Little Women (it was fab!) I hope I can last another 13 days!
