First week of tracking and insurance price

November 8th, 2013 at 05:50 pm

I survived the first week. I am still feeling very aware. Caught myself wanting to eat out a lot...but didn't do it. I did have an unplanned breakfast, but 1 is better than 4. So I need to continue to work on it. I need to buy 2 tablecloths for Thanksgiving. I am considering counting some change to see if I can come up with the money. That way I don't use my debit card and I don't take money from my jars. I included some Thanksgiving groceries on my list this week. Thought it would be good to go ahead and get some of my items so I have them and it wouldn't be such a hit if I spread it out. I have already budgeted money for the meat!


I got our insurance renewal yesterday on our home insurance. It is going up almost $600 a year. I called them to see if there was something we could do and they were able to give us a different policy with better coverage for about $300 more. We could get it to only $10 more a year if we switch over our car insurance, but we really don't want our car insurance with them. So, I think I am going to get some more quotes and see what I can find. I wish we could just get home insurance with Progressive too and have all our policies in one place. (But they don't offer it in our area)

    Absolutely go elsewhere for quotes. Do you live in some disaster-ridden area of the country? MetLife, who I would NOT recommend, used to consistently raise my rates every year by about 15% or so.

    I would highly recommend Safeco. I wouldn't have found the policies I have with them if I had not gone through an insurance broker who for no charge will find you the best policy;they are not beholden to any one company.

    I too recommend an independent insurance agent. They put your list of requirements out for 'bids' to one of the big re-insurers. There is considerable savings in having home and auto insurance with one broker.
