Buying online is so easy nowadays. Some things only take one click and you've spent £100s without even thinking about it.

But before I buy anything online - I go through a 5 point checklist to make sure I'm saving money before I press 'buy'.

This includes price comparing, looking for codes and getting some extra discounts you perhaps don't think about.

Once you know what to think about and look out for, going through these steps each time could find you a discount, and save you £100s a year.

Hopefully these tips help you, and you learn something new!

Overspending is something we've all done - and every know and then it's okay. But overspending on a regular basis, especially when you can't afford to can have negative impacts.

Identifying and understanding what causes us to overspend can help us stop it, and perhaps save us £100s or even £1,000s.

I'm joined this week by Catherine Morgan (host of the In Her Financial Shoes podcast), to talk about what goes on in our heads, and our mindset around spending money and overspending - with steps to stop it.

This is a truly fascinating interview, that made me look at spending money like I've never looked at it before.
