The web has made it rediculously easy to comparison shop, however, many people don’t know where to start. The folks over at The Best Article Every Day has come up with the top 40 simple sites to use to maximize your money saving on the web. We’ve posted the first five below to get you started.

1. Go paper-free for cheaper bills
Many firms, such as Norwich Union Direct give you one discount for applying online and a further discount if you choose online-only paperless policies.

2. Make free phone calls
Whether it’s Skype or your favourite chat software, why pick up the phone when voice and video chat is free?

3. Cut your credit card rates
If you don’t clear the balance every month, high interest rates could be costing you a fortune. Use MoneyExtra to find a better deal.

4. Get cheaper gas and electric
Energy firms make a lot of money from inertia - that is, customers sticking with the package they’re on instead of switching to better deals. Use Uswitch to compare different providers.

5. Collect Airmiles
Airmiles aren’t just for flights - you can use them for hotel stays, too. The Airmiles website shows you where to collect the most miles.
