Thanks to everyone in the MSE club for helping me to become a better saver.

My savings so far are:

£27.50 / month Changed my sky package
£9.00 / month gas & electric
£6.32 / month prescription card
£16.78 / month car insurance
£4.91 / month mobile phone

5.6% on current account balance

The car insurance is with the same company that I have been with for 3 years. I did an online quote an couldn't believe the difference so I called them to ask why and they couldn't give me a reason. They advised me to cancel and order online. I also paid up front to avoid the nasty DD charges.

I have an offset mortgage already but I hadn't bothered switching my current account. I was getting 0.1% interest on my curr, now I'm getting 5.7%.

I have applied for a skycard but in the words of Diana Ross, "I'm still waiting". Called them today and the message was, "We have experienced an unusually high demand". I wonder why.

Thanks again

Good going with the savings. Keep up the good work, the money is better in your pocket than in their pocket.

Keep an eye on your supermarket shop too, they are very crafty.

Great ways to cut back here...
