Dr Nikki told Express.co.uk how she saved £1,000 from her own family budget by switching subscriptions before the cost of living crisis.
Dr Nikki said: “Getting away from subscriptions we don’t use has been by far the biggest winner.”
She listed some of her biggest subscription savings, including switching from Sky to BT.
Nikki said: “I switched us from Sky to BT (we weren’t watching it anyway), canceled my audible subscription (I had enough books), changed our home insurance to a cheaper supplier and I canceled other subscriptions that I no longer needed (like an item of clothing I had subscribed to).
“Overall I’ve saved around £1,000 a year just by making a few cuts.
“It’s amazing how much it all adds up when you’re not careful.”

The expert continued, “I love cashback. I manage everything I buy online through TopCashBack, and I could also do more with other sites like Honey and Quidco, but there’s only a limited number of hours in the day!
“These sites help you collect cash back on purchases that add up quickly.
“I once bought a Fitbit with this money and recently got a nice cash deposit which I spent on a birthday present for a friend.”
She also told Express readers how she saves on her heating.
