My wife has put me in charge of doing some comparison shopping for cheaper rates on insurance. Currently we have our home and auto insurance bundled together; we understand that we can get better prices by doing it that way. But we are constantly inundated with junk mail about saving money on insurance, and so we’ve agreed that it might be worth looking into.
I found a website that is called netquote.com that makes it easy to compare prices on insurance anywhere in the US. For example if I wanted to find Indiana insurance all I have to do is fill in a few fields and click on submit and the quotes are on the way! So I’m going to check it out and see if we can save any money ourselves. Wish me luck!
With Mother’s Day coming up in another month, I have been looking around online in order to find a nice watch to purchase for my mother. Bluedial.com has a wonderful selection of Brand name watches like Seiko, Citizen, Bulova Casio at some pretty decent prices. They offer free 2nd day shipping and free sizing. I also like that they accept PayPal, that is something that more companies need to start offering.
I found this sweet looking ladies watch by Bulova. It is reduced from $250 down to $133, which is a great deal. I think that she will love it and I think that it would look real nice on my mother’s wrist.
I’ve been hearing for a long time that the Postal Service is considering dropping Saturday deliveries as a way to trim their budget. I think that it is a very good idea. I don’t need to be receiving bills in the mail six days a week! Often we don’t go out anywhere on Saturday and it is a nuisance to have to make a special trip down to the mailbox to get the mail. On regular weekdays usually someone is driving past the mailbox in the afternoon and can just stop on their way in the driveway to pick up the mail.
I would encourage the Post Offices to stay open on Saturdays, however, to make it easier for people who work during the business week to be able to go to the Post Office on their day off to buy stamps, pick-up packages, etc. But home delivery, I won’t miss it on Saturdays for one minute!
One of the biggest reasons why my life is in such a mess is because the lady who caused the traffic accident I was in over two years ago didn’t have enough on her car insurance limits to pay for my medical expenses. That doesn’t even begin to touch the lost income, either! Naturally we had under-insurance coverage on our own auto insurance policies, but even that isn’t enough to pay for my medical expenses.
I’m all for people trying to get cheap car insurance as a way to save money, but I think that the best way to do that is by increasing the deductible, not decreasing the liability! If you are checking around for cheap auto insurance, please think of the other people who you may accidentally injure and get a policy with decent liability. Only having $25,000 is not enough. I know that is legal to have that low, but it shouldn’t be!
In this troubled economy, my wife and I spend quite a bit of time looking for bargains that will help us to stretch our budget dollars. Especially since I’ve been on the “injured list.” So I was really excited to find the Offers.com website. The website is chock full of freebies and discounts on a wide variety of items. There are several different categories set up to help you find the best deal on credit cards, software, travel, clothing, and much more.
Many of the links lead to a section full of links to click to get coupon codes, but there is also a category that I’m really enjoying that is full of free things. Like a free towel, free dog food, free fabric softener, free engine belt wear gauge, free ruler, free ice cream, free paint sample, free polishing cloths – the list goes on and on! I think I could easily spend over an hour checking out all of the free stuff! And this free stuff doesn’t appear to be “free trial” where you end up having to pay for something if you keep it; this is really free stuff!
I’m going to have to let my wife take a turn at looking at this site! I’ve bookmarked it to come back to in the future. This one is a keeper! I’m definitely going to order the free sample of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee! And I see a couple of free cookbooks for my wife! I’d claim this bargain hunt time today a glorious success!
