Grocery Shopping Tips to Stay Financially Fit

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Save Money and Reduce DebtIf you love good food (and who doesn't?) it can be a real test of will power not to buy every appetizing thing in sight at your local grocery store. Even the most disciplined shopper can lose their financial cool at the grocery store. It can be very easy to surpass your weekly grocery budget with a single trip to your local supermarket. If you think you are spending too much on your grocery budget, here are some tips to stay financially fit.
 
Clip those coupons-and use them although they may not be in trend or cutting edge, coupons are still a great way to save on your grocery bill. Take advantage of those circulars and clip coupons on food, fuel and home items that you use anyway. Coupons are often used as a promotional tool to entice you to try new items. If you can get a good deal on an item you've never bought before, that's great. But try to restrict yourself to items that already hold a space on your shopping list. You should also beware that many times coupons can help you save on name brand items only.

Is the same item available as the generic store brand? Sometimes you can save more on your grocery bill by buying the stores generic brand item rather than buying the name brand item with the coupon discount. Make sure you do a stringent price comparison before buying the name brand item.
Store brand items are usually just as good.

Speaking of store brand items, did you know that they are almost always just as good as the name brand item? In fact many of the store generic brands are made in exactly the same factories, just with a different label. Store brands are held to the same quality standards as other items on the shelves of your grocery store. Buying the store brand is an easy and effortless way to save money on a regular basis.

Shop at your local farmer's market, the produce will often be fresher and last longer, meaning less waste.
Shopping at your local farmer's market can be a great way to shop for fresh fruit and produce. Shopping at a farmer's market is usually a great way to save money on fresh local produce, especially if you are lucky enough to live in an area with an abundance of farms, orchards and agriculture. Shopping at your local farmer's market is also eco-friendly because the food travelled less distance to get to you, thus saving on fuel. This can be a wonderful opportunity to get to know your local growers.

To save money, buy in bulk if you are financially able too. Buying in bulk can be a great way to stay financially fit and save money. If you have the space and money to buy in bulk, this can be a great way to save money on your grocery bill and save time as well. Be sure you are buying things you truly need and will use. It can be tempting to buy a four-pack of kitchen napkins if you see them on sale, but if you know that you probably don't need that many napkins and don't have the storage space, it's probably better to opt for your usual buy. Of course, there are certain products that all of us can stock up on safely. Toilet paper, laundry detergent, soap and other essentials are safe bets when it comes to buying in bulk. Make sure that you don't buy anything that will go bad within two weeks.

If you are in a young family consider, making up your own small buying group amongst your friends, if you can buy in bulk as a small group the savings can be astounding.
 
Consider a co-op membership or your wholesale big box store. If you have a local co-op store or wholesale store in your area, you may want to consider buying a membership. A co-op membership means that you have access to a wide variety of natural products and local organic produce. When you pay your member fees, you are effectively buying into the co-op and becoming partial owner.

Pocket Extra Cash By Avoiding These Simple Car Care Wastes

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Car ServiceAre you spending too much money on simple car care wastes? Even if you treat your car like a spoilt pet, you can probably find ways to treat your car well without over indulging in wasteful car-related expenses. If we love them, Cars can easily make us act irrationally, but that doesn't mean we have to succumb to spending money that neither helps us or our cars that we love. Here are some tips to avoid wastes and save money on your car appearance and maintenance.

Do you fill your car with premium gas?

If you think that buying premium gas is the only way to go with your car, maybe it's time to do a little more research. These days with record high gasoline prices, you should try to make sure that you are not overspending. Generally speaking, your car will be OK if you simply buy the cheap gasoline providing that it doesn't cause your car's engine to knock. Many people purchase expensive premium gasoline because they think it is a special treatment for their car's engine and that it will help their car run better, longer and more efficiently. In most cases, the octane will merely help prevent a knock, but it won't make your car immune to any of the other problems which are likely to occur.

Aggressive oil change schedules

Many people change their oil far more often than is really necessary. There are many tune-up chains and independant auto repair businesses that advise 3,000 mile oil changes. When in fact, most car manufacturers recommend 5,000 to 7,500 miles or longer intervals between oil changes. Get to know your car and your manufacturer's recommendations, then follow these rather than the oil change schedule your mechanic isrecommending.

Using the dealer for all your car maintenance needs While it may seem simpler and even safer at times,
chances are that you are overpaying on repairs and maintenance by taking your car directly to the dealer. Save money by finding a good, reliable independent mechanic. Dealer prices and parts are often over priced. Don't be afraid to shop around for a good price, even if it may be a little inconvenient or time-consuming, in the long run it can sometimes save you from parting with a heap of money.

Learn to change a flat tire

If you don't already know how to do it, make it a point to learn to change a flat tire. Not only will you
save hundreds of dollars in case that you should get a flat, you will probably also save a lot of time.
Who wants to wait around for a half hour or more in the heat or cold for somebody to come change your tire, when there is a very good chance that you can do it yourself? Don't be afraid to learn, find a trusted friend to teach you. Get out the car's instruction manual and follow the steps, it's not that hard. Practice in your garage or yard until you have it under control, or even think about taking a basic auto maintenance class if they are offered in your area.

Scrupulously avoid the ten dollar car wash Drive by any car wash and see how many people are waiting in a long line, just for a bucket of gray water or an overpriced professional car wash. Nothing shows that you care about your car than giving it a good regular cleaning on your own. Invest in the proper equipment (a bucket, blade, soap, water, dry towel) and see how nice it can be to get a good clean for a lot less. Even try just the bucket of water and a shammie cloth, you will be amazed, you really don't even need the oap. Keep a small vacuum cleaner on hand to pick up stray dust, dirt and crumbs from the interior.

Don't assume!
Many car owners make the mistake of buying a whole new set of tires when what the car really needs is new shocks or perhaps just two new tires for now. Maybe you have misinterpreted a brake squeal as a call for new brakes. In many cases, especially if you are not on schedule for replacements, these may be symptoms of smaller troubles. A brake squeal could also mean that you may need new rotors or pads. Make sure to investigate thoroughly and keep records of all maintenance so that you are not prone to jumping to conclusions and spending unneccessary money on over servicing.

Change – Our Ever Evolving Learning Experience

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Change happens to all of us...There are many different stages of 'Change' which may feel indifferent and perhaps unusual. That's okay, it's all part of the transition process. Just remember 'change sometimes becomes fearful' as we explore the unknown of both the conscious and the unconscious.

Sometimes we need to focus on our own instincts and what actually drives us to where we choose to be our lives today.

'Trust thyself' We welcome 'Change' as our best friend'

Now let us talk about you! Have you ever been asked this Question either by your family, friends or even by yourself? "What do I want to change in my life?" Sometimes we muddle our way through each day, sweating great tears, emotions and stresses hoping for some type of recognition or a sense of purpose and / or achievement and for What? and from Whom? One might ask.

We gradually come to a time in our life whether it be sooner or later when we do actually ask, "What do I want to change in your life?" which then rolls into the secondary question and "How did I get here?". Spend some time in the next 24 hours writing your answers down. Be as honest as you can and try not to leave anything out, include both negative and positive findings. Now, upon completion of that task, "What have you learnt"?

If you are truly happy with everything in your life then 'self checking' of current status is always a helpful task which simply gives you a great sense of validation. If you are not truly happy in your life then our new found friend 'Change' is entering your space, upon invite of course. Remember the old Saying I am sure you have heard this from many different sources 'If you continue to do what you have always done, you will continue to achieve the same results', something has to change in your life 'NOW" in order to grow and develop into the person you truly desire.

Sometimes seeking assistance can be most empowering and can bring about the change you seek. Living each day as you dreamt it to be can be most satisfying and rewarding. Take the courage to search for meaning in your life 'TODAY" Invite 'CHANGE'.

Market Your Online Business On A Shoestring Budget.

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

What is your Major Selling Advantage?
What makes you better and of greater value to your target market than your competitors? Identify your ideal and potential customers and what are the their needs and requirements that you can find a solution to. Network to build your prospect base, go to meetings and join clubs, groups or associations that have members who are in your client target group.

Create an Identity.
Invest is creating a memorable and professionally designed logo. Your business logo needs to stand out and stick in people memory and you need to repeat your message over and over again. Stay in the public eye, this can sometimes be done through the media at no cost to you. Make something that you do news worthy. Are you making something unusual? Are you using state of the art technology? Have you had someone famous visit or use your product or do you employ or know someone who you can associate with your business to get the media to write a news article on your business, employee or products?

Develop a Web Site.
In todays modern era you will need to develop or have developed for you a web site. My opinion is the best type of web site is where your clients can purchase your product immediately on line, therefore it is best to spend the money and develop a shopping cart. Many people will remember and visit your site, so make sure your web address is on every printed piece of literature that comes out of your business. The key here is to make it easy for your clients to find you and your services and if you can get them to make that buying decision immediately online then the sale is yours and they will stop searching for other suppliers.

Get Referrals or Testimonials.
Ok you are in business, so for some reason that doesn't seem to make what you say believable. So how do you overcome that? Mmmm get testimonials from your happy and satisfied clients and tell everyone else about them. Funny but your testimonials could also come from business people, but because it is not your business other potential customer of yours will believe what they say about your product and service.

Attention All Business Owners, Offline and Online Businesses. Automate your Communication System with Your Clients

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Customer ServiceIf you have a business online or offline you need to regularly communicate with your clients. Do you realise how important it is for them and more importantly to your business, to receive some sort of acknowledgement for an action they have taken with your business. A simple thank you for registering or "you made a recent purchase and we would like to thank you for that".

Well it is very important, it builds strong relationships and if ever the opportunity arises again, your business will be the one they think of to make a similar purchase with. If you keep your customers happy, remember they will tell their friends and recommend you and you can't buy that type of advertising.

Do yourself a big favour and invest in an easy to use online automated communication system, it is easy to use and set up and once you set it, it all happens automatically and you don't have worry about it, except for an occasional test to ensure it is all still operating properly. I personally use Complete Internet Office, but there are many similar ones around. Take the time, build the relationship with your client, your business will grow automatically.
