Insurance. Car, home, life, pet... it's endless. It's also big business. So as two renewals - home and pet - popped through my letterbox it's time to investigate some new deals. We have a wonderful shoopers website based in the UK where you get 'cashback' for shopping through an affiliate site. Quidco. In the last five years I've earnt £890.
So the first one is for my beloved four legged friend. No deals on Quidco for him, but seeing as the renewal was £14.34 a month , I found a better suited policy for £8.21 a month. £73.56 saving a year. *Little Dance*. Don't you just love phoning the big companies and saying I want to cancel...just wait until it's the CC companies.
Home Insurance, here is the biggie. , so many options, so many prices, so many comparison sites. If I go through Quidco I can get £50 - £60 cashback, paid in about 6 months time, for validation purposes. I have an inbox full of quotes, but I'm still umming and ahhing over Home Emergency Cover, Personal Belongings taken out of the house, accidental damage, endless. But I reckon I can save myself £17 a month if I take the basic cover. That's £200 a year plus the cashback.
Ah decisions decisions. The main thing is I'm on the right track.
So I have my progress bar, and there it is the ugly truth. £27256. That's not coming down very fast this month. But it will. In 248 days I will have paid the big loan off, maybe I should get a progress bar for that. It's all positive visuals that I'm doing it.
