It means that the dreaded car insurance bill doesn't have to bankrupt me cos the money is already there and waiting and it doesn't get mixed up with my other savings. Plus paying car insurance annually rather than monthly saves a heck of a lot of money!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337968500120821387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337811671019583039.post-87453691110205124952012-02-18T20:37:47.876+00:002012-02-18T20:37:47.876+00:00I agree about the grocery list!

I do the same and years ago automatically set up a standing order to transfer money into my savings account at the beginning of each month, that way i never have to save for a holiday as it's there already.<br />Lists are brilliant, too. xVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337811671019583039.post-82084152413188271042012-02-18T15:49:02.440+00:002012-02-18T15:49:02.440+00:00Great post, and some good tips.

We don't have a freezer and have 3 supermarkets at the end of our road so we go shopping every night without a list...so you can see how we make unnecessary purchases! <br /><br />xxunderthewillowtreeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978822316796326064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337811671019583039.post-48536143684318213412012-02-17T20:29:28.348+00:002012-02-17T20:29:28.348+00:00I meal plan weekly which saves us a fortune.
