7. Swap your current account

Many people are wary about switching their current account; in fact, we're more likely to get divorced than break up with our bank. However, current accounts differ hugely in terms of the rate of interest, service and value for money they offer. The process of moving to a new bank is also far smoother than you might think - banks have dedicated accounts to handle every stage of your switch, and some even offer incentives like cashback if you move your account.

9. Find out if you could save with a water meter

You can't switch water company, but you may be able to save money by switching to a water meter, and only paying for the water you use. Our water calculator asks questions about your home and lifestyle to work out whether or not you'd be better off with a water meter. As a rule of thumb, if you have more bedrooms than there are people living in your home then a water meter could be a cheaper option.
