On this site - you can plug in your power usage from your last bill, tell it what tarriff you are on and which company you use - and it magically :laugh teels you what all the other companies would charge you for the same bill / bills.

Turns out we can save $90 a year (Thats about 30 coffees in my book :laugh ) on our bill, but only 1 company came out cheaper. Some compnaies would cost us an extra $150 a year - so it could be quite a difference.

Also, we actually get a second leccy bill each month as we pay for the power to a bore hole pump shed. Turns out we are on the cheapest tariff possible. It costs us $150 a year, but some providers would cost $300 a year. So its well worth checking out teh competition.

And if you dont spend the money on coffee - you coudl actually be saving some money :clap

I guess we'll be having at least 3 of those 30 coffee's tomorrow? :D

Had to re read the title of this thread, thought it was saving money on your petrol bill. NOT!!! :laugh

I've been without my own car for nearly 18 months as I gave my lovely Toyota to my lovely sis in prep for coming here. I can't wait for tomorrow, I'm in charge of the music, it will be my mess if I want it to be, I can have my own windscreen elvis. la la lah!

Can you guess I'm excited? :laugh

Ahh - I can do that too (mulititalented - thats me ;) ) but it involves getting an employed job with the magic words "fuel card" attached - and making sure you are gonna use more petrol than the cost of the card :D
