Jimmy who is married and has three children was concerned about how high his gas and electricity bill was. He’d heard from colleagues at his work that Money Buddies can help with ways of saving on energy bills. Jimmy dropped in to see a Money Buddy at a community centre during his lunch hour.
The Money Buddy showed Jimmy a comparison website to see if he could get a better deal. Jimmy told the Money Buddy what he spent on gas and electricity. Within moments of checking online the Money Buddy had a list of main stream and smaller suppliers who could save Jimmy money on his energy bills.
Jimmy decided he wanted to switch providers but wasn’t sure how to do this. The Money Buddy said he could show and help Jimmy on how do this online by going through each step with him. During the meeting the Money Buddy also shared hints and tips on helping Jimmy save on energy use and on his bills even further. The Money Buddy also checked online to see if there were any grants available.
