I've saved loads

I have now been using this site for about 10 days and have saved about £275 on my buildings insurance....haggled over my mobile contract and got the best deal ever...for £25 per month I get 500 included minutes, 120 texts, insurance, the latest phone and an amazing £90 credit to my account. this must have saved a lot of money, at least £120 as I was paying for texts. I have also changed my electricity and gas to british gas and now qualify for a winter fuel rebate because I am on one of the benefits, and today changed my bank account to A&L and will get better interest rate (10%) on my regular savings.
