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.
The other day I was rummaging around the basement and found an old jewelry box of my wife’s that had yet to be brought up to our room. When I brought it upstairs and gave it to her, she gave out a joyful shriek. “You found my copper bracelets!” She said that she had wondered where that box had gone to!
She was thrilled because she had just been looking at a jewelry website that has a large selection of copper bracelets, and was thinking about buying one from them. Now she can refresh her memory of the ones that she has so she can be sure to not order a duplicate. I noticed that while she was on their website she was also looking at their selection of earrings. She sure does love earrings, and the site had a ton of them! I’m always nervous about buying jewelry online, but they have a satisfaction guarantee and free shipping, so I guess it won’t hurt to try them out!
I’ve noticed that whenever my wife tags along with me to a home improvement store that she heads over to the department where they have address plaques on display. She’s been wanting to buy a new address plaque for our place ever since we moved here. The address sign that was already on the house was very old and corroded and my wife gets aggravated about how bad she thinks it appears to people who come to our front door.
I try to reassure her that most people don’t even notice address signs when they go to someones house, but she naturally disagrees with me. She would like to get a customized one that has our name on it as well as the house number. I’m not so sure that I want our name on it. In this day and age, sometimes a little bit of anonymity is a good safety precaution to take. What do you think? Name, or no name?
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!
