It’s easy to lose track of how much you’re spending when out shopping for things you love.
Whether it’s a jacket you’ve been staring at in a shop window for the past few weeks or that impulse purchase on the way to the checkout, your tightly controlled budget can quickly be forgotten – and this doesn’t just happen on the high street.
With months of darker, colder evenings ahead, it can become all too easy for energy bills to rise far beyond the expected – especially as there’s no price tag to keep you in check.
So, I want to show you how difficult it can be to keep a track of your spending without any idea of how much things cost.
Below are pictures of my haul from a recent shopping spree and, what I want you to do, is tell me how much you think the total price comes to! I purchased things I use in my kitchen or things that I’d find really useful and would love to have!
Prizes include:
- Stainless Steel Jug Kettle
- Smoothie Maker
- Knife Block and Set of 5 Knives
You could also win:
- Scooter Pizza Cutter
- Pie Funnel
- Mini Dredger
- Cat Tea Towel
- Cheese Box Grater
- Flower Bowl Lid
- Banana Protector (my daughter’s choice after her bag got covered in squashed banana!)
- Knife Sharpener
- Acrylic Salt & Pepper Mills
- Table Top Bin
- Lattice Pastry Cutter
and more!
So take a good look at this picture and tot up in your head how much you think these items came to.
The closest to the correct total will win all of the goodies while, for everyone else, it may be a good time to start thinking about ways to keep an eye on your spending.
Thankfully, for those of you wanting to get a grip on how much you spend on energy, help is at hand.
E.ONs smart pay as you go meter allows you to keep tight control on how much you spend on energy by showing exactly how much you’re using in real time.
All of which means you’ll have some extra cash to spend on the things you
really love…
Good luck!
