Car & House Expenses

In regards to saving money on car and house expenses - some money saving ideas:-

• use public transport when you can or even walk
• use shop-a-dockets when getting fuel and get to know the fuel discount cycles and only fill up on the 'cheap' days.
• plan your trips in the car and be economical i.e one circular trip to do many things rather than 3 separate trips.
• don't just renew your car insurance without doing a bit of ringing around for a better deal - this also applies to household insurance. Often linking these two insurance policies will get an added discount. Insurance Brokers can often do all of this ringing around for you and source the best deal and cover at no added cost to you.
• maintenance on house an car can be expensive. Ask around amongst your friends for a good and honest motor mechanic. Keep your car maintained as this is less expensive in the long run.
• often local tradespeople are cheaper to do household repairs than big companies
