read "The Goodbye Lie"

"The finest is always costly, but in the end the only true bargain."  Alan Vanneman,  Sherlock Holmes and the Hapsburg Tiara

"I obviously buy brand names when the brand is tied to a product's quality, but aspirin is aspirn, shampoo is shampoo and cereal is cereal, so don't throw away your money on packaging and advertising."  Donald Trump

MONEY SAVING TIPS - SHOPPING

 

Comparison shopping can make all the difference in the final cost of a purchase.  Shopping bots will tell you where the best deals are online on all kinds of products, and help you decide whether to purchase in person, through a catalog or via the Internet. 

These bots - think invisible robots scouring selected sites on the web - list items by price, merchant rating, special deals and other criteria.

 

Diamonds are expensive.  Get an expert's take on why you shouldn't buy them in the March 20, 2005 Beading Diary.

 

Want to save money on gourmet food products?  Go to our Oils for Dipping Bread RECIPE page for details.

 

Gas - Check for the best gasoline prices by zip code at http://autos.msn.com/everyday/gasstations.aspx?zip=&src=Netx   The site is updated daily.

 

Grocery shopping - Tape correlating coupons for everyday products like toothpaste and bar soap to the inside of cupboard and closet doors where you store them.  When you run out of an item, the matching coupon will be right there to snag.  You'll save $$ shopping and time searching!

Can't open the plastic bags in the produce section of the grocery store?  Touch your thumb and several fingers onto a damp fruit or vegetable.  Now open the bag with your newly wet fingers. 

 

Save money on postage when you switch to online billing, but remember you will have to print out your own records and receipts.

 

Get the latest product recall information from the government site at www.recalls.gov.
