Hello guys:)
Basically what you should do is to prevent Google Play Store and Google Play Services from self updating, the updates affect 3 things: your battery life, your data plan and your available space in your SD.
There is a similar method but unfortunately this does not work (at least for me) on 5.1.1.

Follow the next steps:
1. Install root file manager.
2. Navigate to /data/app.
3. Create 2 empty files(not a folder like similar method).
4. Rename files to "com.google.android.gms-1" and another one
to "com.android.vending-1"
(Leave their permissions 0600)

That's it - updates are gone
Hit thanks if I helped :)
