And don't forget to look at cashback sites, insurance companies invariably offer the best cashback.

.

But be warned,  after you've been on cashback, go to the insurance site and re-do it as cashback is more often added, so not as good a price.

Eg top cashback £350.

Hastings £302.   same cover same insurance.

Quite true, homework is required, but I usually manage to save a fair bit. Utilities are another example, I usually swap every year for a nice handout.
Also remember, if you have already checked out an insurance/utilities/W.H.Y. site, clear your cookie cache before using a cashback site for the same company. I have found that, if cookies are not cleared, the purchase may not be recognised as having gone through the cashback site.

Yep, I always use two different Browsers for that sort of thing, Browser 1 for searching, getting prices of stuff I need, then Browser 2 via TCB or Quidco, never had a problem with tracking that way.   

Ebay is typical of that, just about to buy, then think, remember, ah, I use TCB, find it rarely tracks on the same browser / cookies.

Got my renewal through for my Mini with Lancaster (Classic Insurance) their renewal was £285 with limited mileage of 5000 per year, did a comparison with the Meerkats and got it to £225 with RAC. Rang Lancaster and they gave me an even better quote of £150, same policy just a cheaper price.... I will admit I snatched their hand off... I was going to SORN it and take it off the road as I dont use it much over winter. I was enquiring about lay away insurance, but that would have been £130 for the year... was a no brainer really, so keeping it legal for the road if I need it...

The V70 insurance last year was almost £1000 (£987), this renewal came down to £450.... I have no idea as to why its cheaper suddenly. The only thing I can think of is my wife is due to turn 40 (she is on both policies) and that has affected the insurances...

Ive just changed my ISP provider using TCB, £19.95/month (which I'm paying now) but I get £90 cashback

Good thinking.
