Whilst most on here like myself are saving savvy, always remember your loved ones, they might not want to talk money but their naivety could be costing them dearly.
My mother-in-law mentioned how her home insurance had gone up by £200 again this year and after probing her it turns out her renewal was £862 for a mid-terraced house, obviously my reaction was that's ridiculous. She is a single retired lady concerned about all the price increases.
Today I have bagged her the same cover for £110, completed via top-cashback offering £33 cashback on any policy so that brings her cost down to £77 and free £250 excess cover with a comparison site thrown in for good measure.
That's a massive £785 saving for her!
So break the money taboo with your loved ones and help them get the savings, spread the love!

Fair observation mforrester. It's not just oldies who can get into the habit of accepting the renewal quote from the current insurance provider. Line of least resistance and all that.
