Gemma Rasmussen, Consumer head of communications and campaigns, said it only takes minutes to check what savings could be made by using Powerswitch.
“It could not be simpler to switch power plans or providers.”
This year the average saving netted by Powerswitch users was $385.
Other steps households can take is to load-shift and only use ‘power-hungry’ devices during off-peak hours - Consumer NZ says this can save people up to $440.
Meanwhile, washing only in cold water, using LED bulbs and switching appliances off at the wall could save Kiwis more than $100 a year for each step taken.
“Loads of devices use power even on standby mode, so cut them off at their source,” said Rasmussen.
Finally, when you feel like a cuppa – only boil the amount of water you need.
“You can save $25 a year by halving the amount of water you boil in your kettle,” said Rasmussen.
Rasmussen said these power-saving steps alone could save New Zealanders more than $1200 a year, but there were even more ways to ensure money was staying in pockets.
Consumer NZ advises Kiwis to shop around to find the best prices, something made easier thanks to a range of apps and online tools.
Grocer App is great for comparing prices between supermarkets.
“We want to remind New Zealanders there’s little reward in being loyal to one supermarket chain,” said Rasmussen.
Gaspy is a great app to scan fuel prices while PriceSpy is an online tool which tracks the prices of items between different stores and over time.
Consumer NZ said that using these three tools means shoppers could save more than $200 a year.
Furthermore, the organisation is reminding people to review their insurance policies and mobile phone plans.
“Our insurance survey found a huge difference between the cheapest and most expensive insurance policies for a standard-sized house,” said Rasmussen.
“It’s worthwhile taking the time to explore different insurance providers – you could stand to make a sizeable saving.”
Finally, Consumer NZ advises Kiwis to get their credit cards under control - a timely reminder following Christmas shopping.
They say to start by paying more than just the minimum payments required which can lead to less interest being paid and can easily be done by setting up a direct debit.
Rasmussen said checking a bank’s offering is also a good idea as many offer low interest and even zero interest balance transfers.
“Taking a bit of time to use tools like Powerswitch, Grocer, PriceSpy and Gaspy, as well as being deliberate about how, when and where you spend could net you well over $1200 in 2023,” she said.
