This month's Which? magazine includes ways to save money, which are worth sharing with consumers.

Price-comparison Websites: If you are planning to buy items like digital cameras or televisions, use price comparison Websites to shop around. A bit of checking means you will pay less.

Energy labels: Make sure you read the energy labels on domestic appliances because the wrong product will cost you extra money in running costs. An A-rated washer-drier uses less electricity and you would be helping the environment too.

Car insurance renewal: Don't just accept your renewal quote. You can save money by shopping around and if you are not satisfied you can switch your car insurance accordingly.

Tyre pressure: Having the right tyre pressure would mean that you can save money on petrol. If your car has under-inflated tyres you end up paying more on petrol. Check your tyres pressure regularly.

Use low-energy light bulbs: They are kinder to the environment and you save money.

Time your buying: Buy audio-visual products in spring or early summer when lines are finishing. You could save 10 per cent.

Turn appliances off when not in use: Turning appliances off, rather than leaving them on standby, really does save money on your electricity bills.
