thrifty thursdays-shop around

have i mentioned the value of comparison shopping?  it cannot be overemphasized people.

i have been shopping around today via the phone for car and home insurance.  with just ONE estimate, i am already $400 less per year than what i am currently paying.  and that's with AMICA, rated #1 for customer service by jd power and associates.  

i also saw a commercial for bundling services with my phone company.  yes, i was on hold for 10 minutes or so, but by the end of the conversation, i wound up paying 5 cents less per month AND getting caller ID added.  it was not the deal of the century i had hoped for, but now, let the screening of calls begin!!  and don't think that means that you don't have to leave a message when you call...because we need a phone that screens calls first.  HA!

and props to brett for the great comparison shopping tip for books.  you saved me at least $10 on the last book i bought when i checked out www.betterworldbooks.com!
