Tighter times mean British households go bargain hunting, claim Halifax

Halifax Home Insurance has announced customers can get one free day of home insurance per week as part of its subsidiary policy from St Andrew's Insurance, as research reveals Britain has become a nation of bargain hunters.

More than two-fifths of people (42 per cent) say they rely on bargain deals and discounts as economic conditions have forced households to tighten their purse strings.

Halifax claimed that the average adult now saves roughly £1,196 over a 12-month period, with 90 per cent of respondents claiming they use money-off vouchers, special deals and freebies.

"People now quite rightly expect a good deal," said Lindsay Forster, director for Halifax Home Insurance.

She added that people now feel more comfortable shopping and even bartering to "make sure they get the best price whether for a meal, a flight or even insurance".

Halifax's special offer applies to customers who take out a new buildings and contents policy underwritten by St Andrew's Insurance by September 11th, renew and remain claim free.

Meanwhile, Tesco Bank is offering a voucher for a Free Polaroid HD DVG-720 camcorder if customers take out a content insurance policy with the company.
