Within these credit crunch times where most of us are finding it difficult to pay bills or worried about our jobs and possible redundancy, most people will be trying to find the most competitive deals they can find for gas, electricity energy supplier and auto or house insurance as well as lowering our weekly, monthly and yearly service costs and our other purchases.

Where do all of us Brits look? where do we know where to look? The majority of people see daily adverts on on freeview or tv and the majority try the site bing advertised. Unfortunately 99% of people don’t know about the hidden COSTS that is carried out on the comparison site itself. In 99% of every Quotation the buyer can make much better savings by following a few simple steps.

It’s a fact the UK comparison sites (ie. moneysupermarket make in excess of 30 million pounds plus a year from this what I call the ‘comparison site scam’. Every purchase earns them between 40 and 100 pounds every time someone buys an gas policy via there site? This is money that you can get direct instead of it going into the pockets of the comparison site.

Let us take an example and look at ‘which Switch’ they had well over one million customers last year, so take that number and an average of a minimum 10% of people get their GasSupplier through this comparison site that would give 100,000 hidden payments to the website owner at between 40-100 UK pounds. Let take an average of 50 pounds as a round number..

This gives them a profit of at least 15 million pounds alone from car insurance. This number will be much higher in reality.

Imaging though if the person in the street
like you and me can get this undercover cash for ourselves.

Imaging claiming this payment on your other house insurance and electric energy bills as well..

When it comes to the energy bills SCAM what they do is worth even more money and you can also claim this up to 4 times a year very very easily and it only takes a few minutes

Imagine if you could also save on all your weekly shopping and add in vouchers and discounts for things such as books and laptops.

Imaging getting a excellent deal and as a consequence of following some additional simple steps you receive back an additional 10% off the price? This is what I personally do every single time I purchase anything.

At last! The whole unbiased truth about saving £1000s a Year exposed without the use of comparison sites.

5 Essential Money Saving Tips With Internet Online Shopping

1. Always aim for the best deal and save more for the item(s) you desire. Do not immediately settle down with your purchase on the first online store that you come across. Scout through a few of them and make your price comparison to get the best deal. Lookout for sale items especially. Sale prices can be dramatically lower than the standard prices and help you to save big.

2. Always use coupons or discount voucher codes if you know where to check online. There are many websites out there that offer thousands of coupons to almost every online store.

Typically you pay 20% more for an item for shipping fee, and if you are able to save that much with discount vouchers, you are essentially getting free shipping for your items. Every time you get to the last checkout page, just key in the promotional code into the little box will do.

3. Always keep an eye for online rebates given by retailers that can help to save a huge percentage on the selling price. Simple fill out a little form and cut out the UPC code. Use these rebates and save big.

4. Always look out for sites or items that come with free shipping. As mentioned above, shipping fee is normally 20% more than the item price itself. Saving on your shipping can be tremendous if your item costs a lot.

5. Do not miss out those state retailers that do not charge sales tax for your items for your state. The money saving here could be significant too.

Here are my weekly money savings tips:

1. Maintain a good credit score! It will save you thousands of dollars in the short and long term when you need to borrow money to buy a car or a home. Creditors will give you an interest rate and the loan amount based on your income and credit score.

2. Large sums of money should NEVER be left in a checking account or even a low-interest bank savings account. Rather, put the money into a high interest savings account (like an ING savings), money market fund, or other forms of short term high interest investments with a fixed return.

3. If you have an employer matching 401K plan, maximize your contributions, so that you double your money!

4. Set aside 10% of your paycheck towards some form of long term savings account, like a money market account, mutual fund, retirement plan, or 401K. As you pay amount increases, your contribution will also increase automatically. 10% will also ensure that you stay ahead of inflation.

5. One of the best investments you can make is to first pay off all your high credit card debts. Credit cards typically carry a high interest rate and by paying off these debts, you get one of the best returns available which also is tax-free.

6. If you are losing sleep over an investment, whether its a stock, mutual fund, or retirement plan, its not worth it! Your lack of sleep is probably a good indication that it may be too risky, too good to be true, or just not the right invesment for you.

7. If an investment is projecting returns that are just too good to be true, they probably are. Unless you are intimately involved in the investment or are an insider, an investment that sounds too good to be true is probably too ambitious, too risky or just a scam.

8. Before you invest in something, always do your own research. Consulting with others and getting a second opinion is good, but you need to investigate for yourself. The internet is typically the best source for lots of information but make sure you read enough or get relevant data.

9. Always negotiate for commissions or fees paid for financial or real estate advice. Don’t be misled by standard commissions and “non-negotiable fees”. It is your money and the experts work for you.

10. Can’t get out of debt? If you are having problems meeting your debt payments each month and feel like you are digging a deeper hole, go talk to your creditors and banks to find a solution to get out of the mess. Beware of debt consolidators as they could charge higher interests in the long term and get you even deeper into debt.
