    Saved £16 by not auto renewing my house insurance.

    Checked on several comparison sites & Cashback sites cheapest quote includes same cover I had before + legal and home emergency cover FREE ( which was not included in my renewal quote)

    Purchased the insurance through Comparethemarket.com so I will get MeerkatMovies 2 for 1 cinema tickets for another year .
    Also Meerkat Meals - which I haven’t tried yet .( anyone tried it ?)

    ( There was a great Cashback deal on Policy expert insurance through topcashback but because I’ve had a policy with them previously I didn’t qualify for the offer - might be good for someone else though )

    I saved another £12 by making a single payment rather than monthly payments - I used my 0% purchase credit card & set up a DD to pay whole amount off in 12 months. So I will still be making monthly payments without the interest charges.
