Cutting your household bills doesn't mean trimming necessities, there's still lots of ways you can economize on them. They look at ten ways you can keep the costs down.
1) Get over service from a provider
way of saving money is to bundle your services & get or more from the same provider. Providers need your custom, & offer money incentives to encourage you to take over product from them.
2)Don't stay loyal
They regularly stick with the same bank, mobile phone network or utilities provider for years. This is not usually out of a sense of misplaced loyalty, but because it appears to be the simplest option, as plenty of of us think that most deals are fundamentally the same.

4)Ditch products you don't need
Every year people waste hundreds of pounds paying for needless financial products. Extended warranties are a prime example, on cheap items. In the event you only pay £40 for a microwave, paying around £11 on top for years of cover does not appear worth it.
Cell phone insurance may even be pointless, as most people are already covered by their home insurance - so don't double up but ditch your cover in lieu. By cancelling it you can save around Â150 $ a year.

5)Shop smarter
Finally, in your attempts to cut your bills, don't forget you can also save money at the supermarket till by switching to own-brand products.
