Recently I've been going through a little rough patch with my bank balance. I spent the last year splashing cash and living life with all the luxuries.
I thought I might share a tip or two which I have been taking full advantage of and making massive savings from.
Many of us are a member of the AA, have car or home insurance, have a job, maybe have a student card, a tesco club card, etc.
And most of these will have an "exclusive membership offers" section on their website.
It wasn't until I bought a car, insured it, got breakdown cover and insured it that it really hit me...
If I had look on my employers discount website, I would have noticed that I could've gotten 40% off car insurance with the same company I paid full price for.
Then, If I had checked the "members benefits" section of my car insurers website, I would have noticed that I could've gotten up to 20% off my breakdown cover.
Then, If I had checked the "members benefits" section of my break down cover providers website, I would have noticed that I could have gotten 40% off all my tickets for thorpe park!!
All in all, I could have saved a massive amount!
My advice would be to take a few hours out, review all your memberships and make yourself VERY aware of all the discounts and offers they provide, you could save yourself an awful lot of money.
Anyone else been caught out like this before and wish they could go back?
