This week on Shop Smart Save Money

Sadly I didn't pick up Financial Broadcast Journalist of the Year at the Headlinemoney Awards last night, but it was fantastic to be nominated for my work on the series, and 5Live's Sean Farrington was a well deserved winner.

Tonight on Shop Smart Save Money I'll be talking about packaged bank accounts and sunglasses, so do tune in at 8pm on Channel 5. I'll also be hosting a Facebook chat straight after the show at 9pm on the Shop Smart Facebook page, so do join me and ask some questions.

We're on every Thursday until 4th June. You can also watch it on the My5 catch up service. You can read more about the series here.
