Hello Dear Reader,

A quick blogette tonight. I’ve been busily researching insurance quotes for our car and our house. I’ve been on a scenic trip around the comparison sites. Here are the links so you can try them:

I found the best deals I could and then logged into my Quidco account to see if I could get any cash back from the best deals. I was able to secure £25 cash back from the home insurance and £40 from the car insurance. Insurers take about 6-8 months to give you the cash back and if you make a claim, you don’t get the cash back at all. (Car insurance including cashback £109.46 and Home insurance after cashback £124.46 - both for the entire year - you will get a better price if you pay in one lump sum)

Here are the links to the cash back sites:

By shopping around, I have managed to keep my car and home insurance at an almost similar price since 2010. It may seem trivial to claim £65 back but that will keep our car in fuel and get us both to work and back for two weeks. It is the business of business to get as much money out of you as possible and you need to make it your business to give them as little as possible. Over to you Dear Reader, who else makes sure they get the very best deals? Who price compares all their utilities and insurances? Who gets cashback on any essential purchases?

Finally, if you would like, can you vote for me at the Britmums blogging awards. I’m a finalist in the sections called Inspire and Commentary. Here is the link for you to vote . I’ll be back tomorrow saving more money.

Until tomorrow,

Love Froogs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
