Why Pay More When You Can Pay Less?

One more sleep and we will be on our way to car shopping. Yay! This should be fun. I was thinking, if we consider purchasing a new car, then, we should consider, too, getting car insurance. I am glad that I am not in the Philippines where vehicles on the road are running like crazy. If you are a Filipino or if you have been to the Philippines, you know what I am talking about.

The car insurance that my husband is paying right now is very costly, and wished he can find cheaper one for both of us. Well, as he said, that pretty much all the car insurance rate are with the same price that he have. Or maybe he just didn’t look around thoroughly. Well, what can I expect from him. My husband don’t like shopping, either actual or online, and that is why if he needs something, he always buy the first to pop up. It is only a matter of comparing and that is what he hates to do. Well, I guess this is gonna be my task now.

Here is the cheap car insurance Lincoln. They give you options such as Eligibility for Discounts. The first one in line is the Safe Driver Discount which is perfect for my husband. I am so proud to say (and God bless him always) that my husband is a very safe driver. He is always careful, and I am praying that it will stay that way, and that God’s traveling mercy be with him always. Well, I am going to show this program to him, and maybe he will make up his mind to give up his current insurance and switch on this.

Are you paying too much on your car insurance, too? It is about time that you ask yourself, "Why pay more when you can pay less?"Try what I just did. Check your eligibility for discounts, and who knows, they will cut the price you been paying in half. Whoo! That would be a whole lot of savings there.

A Book A Shopaholic Can Understand

Guest post written by Linda Brewer

I've always had a problem with being able to stop myself from spending a ton of money when I go shopping. I just love the feel of swiping my card and getting the stuff in a new shiny bag that I just bought. But I'm trying to not spend so much money now because I'm saving up for a new car.

People have been telling me forever that I need to read the shopaholic book series, so I went online about a month and bought the whole set of them. Right after I did that I saw www.clearwirelessinternet4g.com and read through it. Then I switched over my internet service to it because I thought that maybe I could use some of that extra money to put toward my new car.

Well, after I read a few of the books I ordered the rest of the books by the Shopaholic writer Sophie Kinsella. I can obviously relate to the shopaholic Becky because I’m a shopaholic too. But I think that reading about the ridiculous amount of money that she spends on things she doesn’t need is helping me control my shopping.

Amazing America - Store Policy

Few months ago, my mom-in-law bought me a Hair Iron for special occasion use. One special occasion came, I was looking forward to use it because my hair is not really wonderfully straight, and that would be a good way for me to have a great hair on that special day. But unfortunately, it didn't work then. Too bad, I didn't tried it before the special day came. If I did, we would have known ahead and maybe could have it exchange.

My mom-in-law had decided to return the Hair Iron. It took her over a month before she was able to return it to Walmart, Caro, because she was very busy on many things. On our way to the store, I was thinking, "Would they still accept that for return after that long time? I doubt it so." And we can't find the receipt anymore, too. But to my surprise, they did! No sweat! Wow! I could say that if it happened to some other stores, specifically, in the Philippines, I doubt that they would accept it as a return anymore.

More power to America! More power to Walmart!

Coupon Codes

Local newspaper Sunday edition is always much awaited in our family. Why? It is because of its coupon codes. They give away fifty or more coupon codes every Sunday. I enjoyed cutting them out and used them anywhere. It is one of easy ways to save dollars in shopping.
.
The good thing is, most brands of their products that with coupon codes are the products that I actually uses and love, such as; Head and Shoulder, Always, Olay, L'Oreal, Campbell, Energizer and many more.
.
I just wonder why this don't apply to the Philippines where it is needed the most. Filipinos would surely be glad if this coupon codes will be on local newspapers, too.

"Black Friday?"

I never heard of it before. We had a "Black Saturday" in the Philippines, and that is the Saturday after "Holy Thursday" and "Good Friday". So, what is this "Black Friday" here in US?
According to Wikipedia , Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, where it is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Since Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday may be as early as the 23rd and as late as the 29th of November.

Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many employees have the day off, which increases the number of potential shoppers. Retailers often decorate for the Christmas season weeks beforehand. Many retailers open very early (typically 5 am or even earlier) and offer doorbuster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. Although Black Friday, as the first shopping day after Thanksgiving, has served as the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season at least since the start of the modern Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the term "Black Friday" has been traced back only to the 1960s.

My husband and I went to Walmart Sandusky. We left the house 3:30 A.M., because it says that the sale would start 5:00 A.M. I was just so glad that this year, Walmart Sandusky is open 24 hours a day. If it had not, we would be freezed outside the mall waiting for it's opening.

This was the scenario. Shoppers was rushing their way to the sale items that they want to buy. And this is what I got, Samsung DigiCam 10.2 megapixel for only $69.00. My husband bought this for me. I am so happy to have this. Thank you, honey.
