Christmas spending fund

Hello I added in Snoop a savings account I’ve used as my “Christmas fund”. Anything I spend on my current account on Christmas, I sweep the amount from my Christmas Fund to cover it.

How do I account for this in my spending? I want to show that I stuck to my usual budget, but anything additional spent on Christmas, the spending was covered by the savings in this account.

Thank you

Hi @aquagrace you could change the category on the spending to ‘Internal transfer’ or even change the toggle on each transaction to ‘exclude from analysis’.

Or perhaps a better solution - you could create a custom spending category called ‘Christmas’ and then after it’s setup and you’ve moved your transactions to it, you could edit the category to ‘exclude from spend analysis’.

That means you can still see everything in one place, but anything in this category won’t count as regular spending or be tracked in your budget.

Hi Paul thank you so much for such a prompt response, these are all brilliant ideas! I do have the Christmas category set up and would never have thought of that neat option to exclude. Thank you and the Snoop team, the app has been a life changer for me!
