Your random money saving tips?

If people would stop using their mobile phones when driving I'm sure that would be money saving tip :rolleyes:.
I had the misfortune to meet a girl a few days ago using her phone and as I was starting to move from the stop sign that I was at she drove from my left around me with the phone to her ear and not a care in the world. That was in a town....
I hope she was caught...

When you get your renewal notice for car and house insurance, always go online and get a new quote. This is usually cheaper than the renewal quote. Buy the new policy and let the existing one lapse. This works even when you remain with the same insurance company. On the new online quote form, click your existing company and regardless of this being the same you will still get the cheaper quote.

Also check out any insurance discount codes. These are usually available from Onebigswitch, Avantcard rewards, Bord gais rewards and many other sites.

Phone electricity, gas and broadband providers near the end of your contract. Ask for a reduction. If they don't agree to give one, search on bonkers or Onebigswitch for a better deal and at the end of your contract switch to the better deal.

Never be a loyal customer, only active switchers get the good deals.

Later the woman from the broker rang me and when I told her I was grand thanks, had a reproachful tone for my not giving them a chance to get a lower quote themselves!

Similar to my experience last year.

Car Insurance - Differential pricing

I just got a car insurance quote from AIG. It has increased purely because they increased their minimum premium from €280 last year to €330 this year. When I did an online quote the minimum premium applied was €280. (Although the quote was still higher). My question is, are insurance companies...
