We're in an age of consumerism, and today you have more power as a consumer than ever. Today you have the ability to make informed choices as to where to put your hard earned money.
Firstly, it's becoming widely accepted that shopping online is often cheaper than the high street. A shopping comparison site makes spending even cheaper. In seconds you can find the cheapest price for what you're after, which will save you a good wad of cash over time. Using a price comparison site can save you money on almost anything you can buy online – from insurance, books, games consoles, clothes to food – for free! Really, there are not many good reasons for a money saving student not to use a price comparison site when spending. If you're making a big purchase, try a couple because they may come up with different results.
Save on your insurance by comparing the market for the best quotes using Compare the Market.
Watch out for sponsored affiliates (that's how they make money) and additional delivery costs that are not usually included in the price it gives you. Also remember that the shopping comparison sites often miss out retailers that may be cheaper still. Keep an eye out for current offers on sites like HotUKDeals, as well. Also don't forget eBay, Gumtree or the student market place for grabbing a real bargain!
I don't know if it's just for insurers, but it's worth bearing in mind that their websites only contain sellers who agree to be on there. So, for example Directline are not featured on price comparison sites which they argue saves them money which they supposedly pass onto the consumer.
Therefore, I suggest using the price comparison sites and also doing a little bit of your own research in case anything has been left out!!
