Starting out the year saving money!!

How to save...where to start!

I really am glad I did some research and took the time to call about my bills and save some money.  Without giving up a lot, I managed to save us about $120 per month.  This was just on utilities and monthly repeating bills.  This wasn't on groceries or anything else...yet!

I feel like there is a lot to talk about so I am going to break it down into parts.  Here is where we saved a good chuck and it isn't even included in the above number.  Back in January 2009 we refinanced our house...again!  But it made sense and saved money.  So maybe call a mortgage person and find out if it would be worth it.  I feel like if it saves money then it would be in the "worth it" category!   Jeff Morris is who helped us.

One great thing Jeff did for us was he mentioned that our homeowner's insurance yearly premium looked a little high.  He suggested that we check out AllState Insurance's rates, as they were what he just went with for his own insurance.  Well we saved $372 for the same coverage on our home.  We also switched our auto policy to AllState as well and saved $344.75 in a year.  That is almost $700 right there for the same coverage.  Holly Fong is our agent and she is great!  What I like about their auto policy is that they give me safe driver bonus every 6 months and send me a check for only about $35 but it is $35 I wasn't expecting that can be used for a little splurge.  Also, while you stay accident free over time then your deductible lowers.


Safe Driving Bonus® Introducing the Safe Driving Bonus check*, for every six months of accident-free driving you have the opportunity to earn a check of up to 5% of your premium. This is in addition to any other Allstate discounts you qualify for.
Deductible RewardsSM You'll get $100 off your Collision deductible the day 
you sign up. And then $100 off every year you go without an accident. Up to $500 total.
