How to Save Money on Auto Insurance

By Jessica On January 2, 2009 No Comments

The Insurance Information Institute says there are five things consumers can do to cut auto insurance costs. But it is important to evaluate each one to be sure it will work for you. Motorists are required to carry liability protection which will pay for damages you cause to another person or their property.

But other coverages are optional, such as collision: which will repair or replace your car if you are in an accident; and comprehensive coverage, which will reimburse you if your car is stolen. Both collision and comprehensive coverage are sold with a deductible — the amount of money you pay out-of-pocket, before your insurance kicks in.

Finding Ways To Save Money On Your Wedding

how to save money on

There is no doubt that a wedding can be something very expensive. As a result, you may want to find different ways to save money on your wedding. You can spend the money saved on your new life after marriage. This is very important since you may really need a bit more cash after marriage. If you would like to save money on your wedding, please continue to read this article otherwise you may skip it.

The most important decision about your wedding is the date and the venues (both for reception and ceremony). Considering the reception venue, it will cost you more if you are going to choose a ball room in a luxury hotel. Of course I know most of you may want to go for this option. However, sometimes we have to sacrifice if we would like to save money. You can consider a less formal wedding and it can be sure that you can save some money. For example, you can host a beach wedding and the cost of renting the spaces will be only a fraction of that of a hotel ballroom.

If you are comfortable with the idea of a less formal wedding, you can also consider a less formal catering service. You can hire a company that offers outdoor catering service. It will be a lot cheaper than the catering service in a luxury hotel. If your friends can help you, you may even consider preparing the food yourselves so that extra amount money can be saved. Of course you have always to consider about the hygiene if you are going to prepare the food yourselves.

You should also prepare the liquor and wine yourself for your wedding reception. The wine offered by the companies which provide catering services can be a lot more expensive than what you can get from a supermarket. You should approach different shops to get the best price so that you can prepare the wine under your budget.

If you have friends who can take wedding photos for you, you can ask for their help. Wedding photography is one of the items that can cost you a lot of money. Since it will be better to have at least two photographers in your wedding, you should ask more than one friend to help. On the other hand, you may also consider hire one wedding photographer and have a friend to be your another photographer.

DIY wedding favor can also save you a lot of budget. The price from the party favor shop can be very expensive, even for a piece of chocolate. If you are going to adopt chocolate as your wedding favor, you can try to buy them from local stores which can offer you discount prices. You will then buy some packaging materials to wrap and pack them so that they can be something cheap but elegant.

You have to keep reminding yourself that cheap wedding does not necessarily mean something bad. It can still be very elegant. And the art of saving money is to keep the degree of elegant with less amount of money spent.

Saving Money When Shopping Online - Some Hints And Tips

By Jessica On December 27, 2008 No Comments

Stuart Anders asked:

As the number of consumers choosing to shop online continues to rapidly increase, the Internet is quickly becoming the place for bargain hunters to shop. However, it seems that even the most internet savvy users aren’t aware of the full range of money saving resources that are available and, more importantly, how to make the most of them.

One of the key tools for saving money online is the use of voucher codes. How many times have you seen a little box at the check out stage of one of your online purchases asking if you have a promotional code, a discount code or a voucher code? Well these discount codes are freely available online for the majority of online stores. Simply search for the name of the store you are buying from or the product and you’ll undoubtedly come across a discount code that suits your need.

But there are a few stumbling blocks in this seemingly easy money saving process. To ensure that the voucher or discount code you use actually triggers a discount or offer to be applied, there are a few steps you should take.

Firstly, make sure that the code you use is fully up to date. This includes the product, if the code relates to that, and the code itself. Codes that are circulated on the Internet are listed by many directory sites. However, these sites are commonly out of date and this causes major problems for consumers when trying to find a suitable voucher code to use. Only use discount code directory sites that are maintained and updated daily.

The easiest way to check this is go the “latest discounts”, and find the date of the most recent discount. If it is recent, then you can be relatively confident that the rest of the codes on the site are up to date and therefore valid. This means the codes will activate your discount and therefore save you money.

Secondly, don’t try to use a combination of offers and discount codes. Using several discount codes at once can often negate the discounting effect, meaning you won’t save anything at all. Do not shop via cashback sites. The mechanisms these operate by will often override the discount code, meaning you lose out on your discount and have to settle for a lower saving.

Finally, don’t just use the first code you find. There are many discount code directories on the Internet, all of which are likely to have a code for the store you are looking for. Search the Internet and use some of the smaller discount code sites - commonly they are updated more frequently and have a lot more unique discount codes. These often can save you that little bit extra.

One great irony of life is that people find it so easy to spend money and yet, they find it doubly hard to save money.

2. Shop online

Super Moms Secrets For Saving Money on Groceries

By Jessica On December 26, 2008 No Comments
Food prices are on the rise today with no signs of leveling off. Many people are wondering if they could be saving money on groceries for their everyday items as well as some splurges as well. There are still some grocery bargains to be found out there if you know where and how to look, and we have some handy tips that any mom or individual can use.

First, remember that saving money on groceries starts before you leave home. Make a plan of what meals you need to prepare for the week, including lunches and snacks. Check your cupboards and refrigerator and make a list of the things you’ll need. You won’t be saving money on groceries if you buy unnecessary items or find you need to run down to the corner store for forgotten items. You can also check the items you need on your list versus what coupons you have and what you see in the weekend circulars in your newspaper. Make sure you stick to your list, and the only items you can buy that aren’t on the list are ones that are on sale and that are a bargain, and that you know you’ll need later on.

If you don’t yet buy in bulk, it’s time to start. If you go through items like rice, flour, sugar, soup, and items that keep a long time very frequently, you can buy larger quantities for less money. Consider an investment in a warehouse club as an investment in saving money on groceries; the few dollars it costs for the membership every year is worth the money you’ll save. Remember that you can always walk through one of these stores to check out their prices and items available before actually purchasing a club card.

Part of saving money on groceries is making your food go farther each meal. Trying having a small bowl of inexpensive soup before every dinner. This will fill you up and have you less hungry for the more expensive main dish. Forego meat in your dinner at least once per week and opt for items like stuffed peppers, soup and salad, or a large omelet instead. Some even enjoy a nice pancake dinner every once in awhile, which of course is much cheaper than a steak! You can also be saving money on groceries by reducing how much meat you use in other dishes; cut back on meat in spaghetti and lasagna, soups and stew, and so on.

You could also be saving money on groceries by using a crock pot to cook cheaper cuts of meat and marinade or seasoning mixes. These give a lot more flavor to cheaper dishes so that you don’t miss the more expensive cuts of meat. You can also use seasoning mixes so that cheaper brands of items like spaghetti sauces and soups are tastier.

Many have found that saving money on groceries means cooking more things themselves rather than relying on pre-packaged and precooked dishes. This might mean more time in the kitchen chopping vegetables and preparing items but it can add up to savings in the long run. When you do cook, make enough for two or three dinners or meals and freeze the other portions. You can then reheat these items for another dinner or for snacks, which means you’re saving money on groceries as food won’t go to waste.

To really help, start a price book for your grocery shopping. Compare prices at local grocery stores as well as the warehouse clubs and places like this. Keep track of what you’re spending as well. When you see how you’re saving money on groceries by putting forth some effort with clipping coupons, shopping around, and preparing items yourself, you may find that you actually enjoy the effort you put into this endeavor.

Tips for Saving Money On your Online Photo Prints

By Jessica On December 25, 2008 No Comments
how to save money on
Taking photos with your digital camera and viewing them on your computer screen is fun. Sometimes you’d like to make hardcopies of your photos. One of the easiest ways to print your photos is by using an online photo printing service. In this article we will give you some tips for saving money when using such services.

Most of the services work in the same way: once you uploaded your photos to the site you can choose which photos to print at what size what kind of paper and in how many copies. Printing and shipping prices vary between sites. There are a few ways in which you can save money on your printing orders:

Get free prints: Many printing services offer free prints for new customers. For example when registering with Shutterfly you will receive 15 free prints. Use this and get free prints from many sites. If every site gives you around 20 free prints you can register to ten sites and accumulate 200 free prints. One word of caution: most sites will provide you with free prints but will still charge you for shipping. Always make sure to compare the total cost to the alternative of printing on other sites. Sometimes free prints will be more expensive then non-free prints at another site just because of high shipping charges.

Use coupons: The competition among the printing sites is harsh. Some sites are trying to promote their services and provide discounts by using special coupon codes. Some of the coupons are publicly advertised but many are emailed by the sites only to its current customers for future orders. For example at the time of this writing Snapfish offered 20% off its photo balls prints. There are sites such as printrates.com that aggregate such coupons and let users post and look for coupons. A good advice is to always check for coupons before you order prints investing just a few minutes looking for coupons can save you 20% and more.

Refer friends: Some sites provide discounts or free prints to customers who refer new customers. If you like the service provided by a photo printing site simply let your friends know about it and ask them to mention you as a referrer if they decide to register and order prints from the site. In this way you can enjoy both helping your friends by recommending a good photo printing site and getting some discounts or free prints.

Do testing at home: If you order expensive prints like enlargements you can save some money by printing trial prints at home. For example if you are planning to print a 20X30 poster you can first print a low quality on your home printer. If the page size is more than what is supported by your printer you can print a few sections and tape them together. Then look at the poster to make sure it is worth printing try to make it as real as possible place the poster at the destined location and look at it from the distance you plan to look at it from. Make sure the resolution is good enough and that it looks as expected. If you’re happy with the results go ahead and order the print. Enlargements can cost tens of dollars, by printing a cheap version at home you can save the agony of spending that money just to find out the poster does not really fit or does not look good.

Aggregate orders: Printing a large quantity of photos is usually cheaper on a per photo calculation than printing small orders. Some sites provide discounts for large orders and some sites provide a fixed shipping cost that when spread over a large quantity of prints results in a cheaper shipping cost per photo. For these reason it is always better to aggregate your printing orders and to send one big order rather than a few small ones. For example if you have some photos to print but you also know that you will have more photos to print in a week from now and if you are not in a hurry to get your prints it would be cheaper to wait and send all photos together.

In conclusion there are many ways to save money when printing your photos. Prices change all the time make sure to shop around and to check the various sites. You can use comparison sites such as printrates.com before sending your photo printing order. Spending a few minutes before printing can save you some money.

How to Save Money Shopping Online

save money online
Tracy Greene asked:

Online shopping has grown immensely over the past few years. There are so many advantages to shopping online in addition to just finding a great deal delivered to your door. Here are some great tips to help you save money while shopping online.

1) Shop Ahead of Time

Give yourself plenty of time before special events when shopping online to allow for shipping of your order and avoiding costly expedited shipping fees. Giving yourself some time also allows you to shop around for specials. You might have a purchase in mind and know you don’t need to order it today and then you find it on sale or a particular website is having a promotion to help you save money.

2) Earn Cash Rebates and Incentives for Shopping Online

There are several free websites out there that work as virtual shopping malls and offer incentives for shopping through them. You actually make your purchases through actual merchant’s websites, but you get there through the virtual mall website in order to earn your rewards. Some of these websites offer points that can later be redeemed for gift certificates or gift items. Two examples are Club Mom and My Points. Other free websites offer cash back rebates on every purchase you make by shopping online through their website. Some of these include My Power Mall, Ebates and Inbox Dollars. The great thing about these free websites that offer cash back is that you earn cash to spend however you choose. You are not limited to specific gift cards or gift items you don’t really want.

3) Look-up Coupon Codes

It’s always a great idea to see if there are any valid coupon codes you can use toward your purchase. Sign up to receive notification from websites who specialize in this. One example is Couponcabin. You can sign up to receive a newsletter with the hottest online deals and you can also go to their website before a purchase and look up the store you’re considering to buy from and see if there are any deals you can take advantage of. Sometimes you can find a coupon code for a certain amount off of a purchase, or my favorites are a coupon codes for free or discounted shipping. Some other examples of coupon code websites are Fightdivx, Ecoupons and Currentcode. Please note though, if you shop through a virtual mall as mentioned above, write down the coupon code, go to your virtual mall, click on the merchant link and only then input the coupon code. Clicking directly to the merchant website without going through your virtual mall will cause you to lose your rebate or incentive from the virtual mall.

4) Be Sure to Add It All Up!

Make sure you take all things into consideration before you decide you’ve found the best deal online. Just because you found the cheapest price on a product in one place doesn’t mean that it’s the best deal in the end. You need to be sure to add the price of the product, tax if applicable and shipping. Sometimes there is an outrageous shipping charge to make up for the low price on a product. You should be able to look up this information on the website under “customer service” or “FAQ” but if you still can’t find all the information you need, go ahead and enter the product as if you were going to purchase it and see what they calculate for tax and shipping. Just don’t enter your credit card information. Only then can you legitimately compare prices between online merchants.

5) Free Membership to Money Saving Newsletters

You should sign up for newsletters directly with companies and with some money saving groups. For example, if you shop regularly at Toys-R-Us, Fisher-Price or Lillian Vernon, make sure you’re on their mailing list so you hear about their online shopping sales right away. Often times there are deals for free shipping. Free shipping can make or break an online shopping deal. You also want to sign up to forums or online newsletters from groups who are out there scouting out the best online shopping deals. One great newsletter is from Mommysavers.com. They also have a superb forum to learn about many other ways to save money.

6) Don’t Ignore Shopping from Smaller Websites/Retailers

Just because you’re not familiar with a particular website doesn’t mean it’s not any good. I have found some great deals on some smaller merchant websites and have had great customer service as well. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check them out. Be sure to read their return policy, and make sure there is a way to contact them for customer service should you need it. You may also be able to find merchant ratings online.

Added Bonuses

If you’re anything like me, I don’t look forward to hauling two kids to various stores or to the mall for the day to shop for something. It’s more frustrating than enjoyable and there is no guarantee I’m going to find what I’m looking for, or for a reasonable price. By shopping online I save time and money. No hassle of crowds or grouchy kids and it’s much easier to comparison shop between stores for the best deal. And I’m saving money on gas and not polluting the air!

I hope you found these online shopping tips useful and may you find some great deals on your future online shopping adventures!
