I'm happy to go 1st.

I find it amazing that you can save a lot of money simply by taking some time to shop around .. online.

Right now I'm online looking for the best deals on greenslips (for the 3 cars in our household .. sighs).

http://www.greenslips.com.au/calculator.html

^^^ An excellent find IMO. I've just calculated that I'm now ahead by around $500 thanks to this Price Comparison website.

My advice/tip.

Don't just take your Greenslip Renewal papers and pay them by the date due .. do yourself a favour and shop around to confirm that the amount the insurer NOW wants you to pay is indeed the best deal around. You may be surprised by what you discover.

Hopefully this info helps others who post here (and are sick of the steep price hikes in terms of car insurance and related premiums).

Yes. Greenslips.

Have you anything of substance to offer?

I'm curious about these 'greenslips' you talk of.

I decided to google it.

Turns out to be some sort of compulsory insurance requirement for vehicles in NSW.

Interesting.

Buy your books here:

http://www.bookdepository.com/

http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/

Very cheap, and free delivery to Australia (very fast too).

Tip: even though they are the same company, compare prices from both web sites. They are often different.

Reduce and be very careful what starch you eat. Avoid buying any foodstuff that is in a packet. And the obvious don't smoke tobacco or dope or drink alcohol

Reply #7 - Aug 17^th, 2013 at 1:55pm Lisa, I have found that you don't always get the best price from a greenslip website. Sometimes when you phone around you will get a better one. Here's a health tip. For heart & joint health take some wild krill oil every day.

Reply #9 - Aug 20^th, 2013 at 4:06pm The difference in cost and taste between a cheap whiskey to a 18 year old single malt is well worth the $150. The difference in cost and taste between a 18 year old single malt to a 25-30 year single malt is definitely not worth the $350.
