Compare your bills to save
One of the ways you can save in your household is to compare your bills!
Use the comparison websites to see if you’re able to switch over any bills or contracts and save monthly from there. I do this every year with my phone bill and they honour the new prices quite a lot. I also have done this for my broadband and other household bills.
