Default ARE THERE MONEY SAVING COMPARISON WEBSITES IN CANADA?

I regularly use these type of websites especially after the £££££££ i have saved via www.moneysavingexpert.com. Just secured a great house insurance deal with £50 cashback (see www.quidco.com). Does Canada have similar systems in place where we can get the best deal and not get screwed??

I have been looking for the same thing myself! I actually posted a note on mse months ago asking for something similar or an international franchise. I was an mse addict and bought nothing without asking there first.

If I knew how I would start the website myself - it would be a sure bet!

Talking Re: ARE THERE MONEY SAVING COMPARISON WEBSITES IN CANADA?

In fact thats a very good website. I have looked at primus telecom in the uk and have a good deal with them and bt. They do their own comparison on their canadian website for bundled bb and homephone so I am keen to have a wee look around at whats available.

Default Re: ARE THERE MONEY SAVING COMPARISON WEBSITES IN CANADA?

kinda thing i just got with my house insurance = £258 both building and contents, then voila cashback website -£50 = sum payable £208 kerching!!!
But only got that far by using MSE and comparison websites. Mebbe we should give Martin a shout and ask to set up a WWW.mapleleafsavingexpert.com?? You saw it here first and I claim copyright.

I am tempted! If I was more technical I would be there. Seriously though - it would make a great franchise don't you think?

I am there with you as without the knowledge gained over the past few years I would have been coughing up loads. I have changed 15 people over from BT to a better saving with other companies and one person has even saved £300 in the past 6 months with her phone bill. I might just email Martin. Is there not a desire to save cash over with you guy's?

I wonder if it is worth starting a new thread on mse linking to expats and asking for a cross over??

Here's the original thread

Do it!

I always used them in the UK. When we were looking for travel insurance recently I really wanted something like http://www.moneysupermarket.com but when I posted the question on here someone suggested that I put "Travel Insurance" in Google and then get a quote from all the individual banks etc. that came up.

Bummer and you needed something more useful than that, did you get a good travel deal in the end?
