Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon highlights WhistleOut as a key resource for finding the best deals to save money on telecommunications.

No. 1: Slash your fixed costs

Think every bill, utility, insurance policy and loan repayment. Comparison websites enable you to compare most aspects of your financial life, including your biggest monthly expense: your mortgage.".

"Just be sure to disable what I call the bias button each time you search for top products, so you are shown the real best deal.

The websites I particularly like include:

For electricity and gas: energymadeeasy.gov.au (or compare.energy.vic.gov.au in Victoria).

For insurances and personal loans: canstar.com.au; but uncheck the "only show results that link to a quote page" box first.

For health insurance: privatehealth.gov.au

For telecommunications: whistleout.com.au; be sure to scroll down to the best deals."
