I was having this conversation with a friend and we both got some useful ideas from each other (cancelling various underused subscription services, making use of libraries, more home vege gardening etc) - curious to know what else people are trying.

We have got almost everything with AA, including health, as they were the cheapest for almost all. Life Insurance with Partner Life (previously BNZ Life), especially cheap for income protection.

Only our Nissan Leaf was a tad bit more expensive than an insurer I didn't know, but was only $100-200 per year; not worth the hassle in my opinion. For some reason AA thinks that a Leaf is more expensive to insure than our Corolla of similar value & age.
