It is true that as single mums we are constantly counting the pennies, stretching things to their limit and finding ways to cut costs.  There are 3 easy steps to shrinking your household budget not just on a one-time basis but for as long as you please.  If this has got your attention then read on!!!!

There is in the UK, a British PLC called the Utility Warehouse Discount Club.  This company is a member of the FTSE 250 and trades under the name of Telecom Plus PLC.  As well as receiving many business accolades from such magazines as European Business Magazine, Investor’s Chronicle and being given the prestigious title of the number 1 UK PLC of the year in March 2009, this company also has received much credibility from independent consumer magazines such as Which? And in a consumer survey, it was reported that 94% of its customers would recommend the services to a friend.

So, just how does this work?  Well there are 3 easy steps.  The first being that The utility Warehouse Discount club is  a word of mouth marketing company so doesn’t pay for advertising costs of any sort.  It relies on its network of customers and distributors to promote its products and services and passes on the savings made to its customers and distributors.  you have one single, simple monthly bill for your gas, electricity, broadband and telephony and no minimum contract for most of the services.  The department of trade and industry have said that switching to the Utility Warehouse Discount club can save you somewhere in the region of £800 per year and that’s without employing the two other methods by which you can shrink your bills to nothing if you so wish.

The second method is simply to use the cash back card.  This card is a master card but not a credit card so you top up and then go and spend.  By spending on your food, clothes, baby goods, sporting goods, etc,

You can reduce your bill by around £30 per month.  Every time you spend, you reduce your bill by 5%.  That’s a good saving by anyone’s standard.

The third and final way is to recommend these services to your friends and family.  By recommending just 10 people you could potentially save yourself 20% for as long as your friends and family remain customers.  There are some people in this country who have shrank their bills so much that the Utility Warehouse Discount club has to pay them.  How fantastic is that?  As single mums we owe it to ourselves to save money but it’s also important to have good service so isn’t it worth taking a look at this?  What could a yearly saving shown above allow you to do?  Go on holiday perhaps?  Just do extra little things with the kids you couldn’t afford to do?
