Jewelry Television Offers Tips for Saving Big this Season
Jewelry Television Offers Tips for Saving Big this Season
Knoxville, TN (PRWEB) November 15, 2011
The holiday season is supposed to be a time of relaxation, but for busy professionals it can be a time-consuming burden. The experts at Jewelry Television have offered some time- and money-saving tips to assist busy professionals in shopping this holiday season.
“We understand the importance of our customers’ time,” said Natalie Parman, vice president of merchandising at Jewelry Television. “We offer great deals with convenience in mind so shoppers can have more time to relax during this festive season.”
Jewelry Television suggests the following tips for busy professionals:
Create an online shopping list – Planning ahead can save time and money. Shopping sites like http://www.blackfriday.com offer deals from multiple retailers. Major retailers often “leak” Black Friday specials in advance to generate interest. Many items available in stores are also available online, so it’s really not necessary to run all over town to save a few dollars.
Pre-shop and save – Black Friday is no longer a 24-hour shopping event. Many major retailers offer deals early to guarantee holiday revenue goals are met.
Organize discount codes – Many online retailers have discount codes for items that guarantee additional percentages off or free shipping. Compile a list of the discount codes you want to use later. At checkout, copy and paste the discount code for instant savings.
Look for “tiered” pricing – Many retailers offer the lowest price for a specified period of time only. If you know you want an item, research when the lowest price will be available and plan accordingly. For example, JTV is offering special “Doorbuster” pricing on certain items the entire week of Black Friday.
Shop from home – Sleep in and shop from home. Multichannel retailers like JTV offer more ways to shop than traditional brick and mortar retailers. Why not check out the deals on television while you’re basting the turkey? You can always order from the network’s website later if you don’t have time to pick up the phone.
With these simple tips busy professional can save time, gas and money and get back to relaxing at home with family. For more information about Jewelry Television, visit http://www.jtv.com.

Get Ready for Winter III: Amica Insurance Offers Tips
Get Ready for Winter III: Amica Insurance Offers Tips
Lincoln, RI (PRWEB) November 16, 2011
* Third in a weekly series.
Rising heating costs will be a concern for many families this winter, so Amica Insurance is offering tips to help homeowners save money while keeping warm.
“Now is the time to look around your house to make sure it’s as energy efficient as possible,” said Sean Welch, a senior assistant vice president with Amica Insurance. “Even small things – such as making sure doors and windows are tightly closed or turning your thermostat down a few degrees – can help you save money during the winter months ahead.”
A good place to start is with your thermostat, Welch said. Make sure it’s not near a heating source or drafts of cold air, to help prevent faulty readings. Consider turning it down, even a degree or two, from what you’re used to. That can save quite a bit over the course of a few months. Also, don’t forget to turn it down while you’re not home and while you’re sleeping. Consider installing a programmable thermostat, which can be set to automatically adjust the temperature for you.
Here are a few more money-saving tips:
Shut doors and heating vents in rooms that are seldom used.
Close curtains and draperies at night, to help preserve the heat. And make sure they’re open on sunny days.
Use plastic sheets to cover windows and doors that aren’t used during the winter to help prevent drafts.
Check the weather-stripping around all doors and windows. Repair or replace it in any spots that may make your home drafty.
Keep dampers closed on fireplaces and stove vents shut when they’re not in use.
Make sure you don’t have any cracks or openings in your foundation. If you do, fill them with caulking.
Consider increasing the insulation in your attic and ceilings. If possible, cover the attic entrance with plastic.
“While it’s great to save money by turning down the heat, never let a particular room or area of a house get too cold or you run the risk of having frozen water pipes that can burst and cause tremendous damage,” Welch said. “If possible, inspect all plumbing pipes leading in and through your house. Any pipes that run through unheated areas – such as attics, crawl spaces or outside walls – should be insulated.”
“Also, if you’ll be using your furnace a lot this winter, make sure it’s ready to run as efficiently as possible,” Welch said. “Have your furnace inspected and cleaned by a professional and make sure you change the furnace filter regularly.”
Every little bit helps, so before you turn up the heat, prepare your home for cold weather, Welch said. Hopefully you will save money and have a warm and comfortable winter.

*This is the third in a weekly series of tips Amica Insurance is offering during November to help prepare and protect your home and family this winter.

Easy Ways to Save Money with Savings.co.uk
Easy Ways to Save Money with Savings.co.uk
London,UK (PRWEB UK) 14 December 2011
During the expensive festive period saving money is harder than usual, so We Know Money has produced ten savings tips to help consumers cut costs.
Liz Phillips, Editor of We Know Money said: “It’s good to get into the habit of saving money whenever you can and whatever your situation. In today’s tough times it could make the difference paying your bills and running up debts. Our ten tips are a painless way to save and our savings accounts tables show consumers where to put your spare cash so you can earn as much as possible on it.”
1. Move your store card and credit card debts onto a better deal.
2. Don’t go overdrawn without permission: Penalty fees and interest can be a staggering £100 a month for going just a few hundred pounds overdrawn.
3. Work out a budget: Be honest with yourself and take a cool, hard look at your spending and how much you have coming in each month.
4. Pay off the most expensive debt first: Are you being charged a high interest rate on loans you’ve taken out for big purchases? If so, it makes sense to get them down to size first after you’ve paid your essential bills.
5. Plan for a major purchase: All sorts of life-changing events can cost big bucks, so save accordingly.
6. Never miss a payment: A minor oversight, like forgetting to pay a credit card bill on time, is serious these days and could cost much more in the long run.
7. Get the best deal on your insurance policies: It really does pay to compare the price of insurance rather than automatically renewing a policy each year. Unless challenged, your premiums will rise every year.
8. Become a switcher: Sticking with the same supplier for gas and energy, broadband, TV and telephone means you’re a hostage to their price hikes. You could save as much as £300 a year by switching.
9. The little things: They all add up. The morning cappuccino or latte, a couple of magazines, a meal out – they blow a hole in your budget and there’s nothing to show for it.
10. Cash in: Use the credits built up on reward credit cards or cashback cards. Before going shopping or out for a meal, see if there are any vouchers on offer for discounts.
Alidad Moghaddam, Head of We Know Money said: “Savings.co.uk not only helps people compare the best rates on savings but also provides consumers with advice on all aspects of their budget. A full range of money saving tips, features, guides and news articles can be found on the site to help consumers make the most of their money.”

Seniors Face Tough Times this Holiday Season; Home Instead Senior Care Network Offers 10 Money-Saving Tips
Seniors Face Tough Times this Holiday Season; Home Instead Senior Care Network Offers 10 Money-Saving Tips
Omaha, NE (PRWEB) December 15, 2011
Even though Congress increased the debt ceiling earlier this year, allowing older adults to get Social Security checks on time, seniors face financial challenges that could contribute to a bleak holiday.
In 2011, for the second consecutive year, seniors received no Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), according to the Annual Survey of Senior Costs from The Senior Citizens League (TSCL), a senior advocacy organization. What’s more, seniors can expect to receive only a very small COLA next year, TSCL reported. Unfortunately, a downward trend is continuing for older adults. Since 2000, the COLA has increased just 31 percent, while typical senior expenses have jumped 73 percent, more than twice as fast, according to the survey.
“Cuts of essential items such as food and medication should be of immediate concern to seniors’ families,” said President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Jeff Huber of Home Instead, Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care® network.
“Other reductions in spending can lead to less obvious issues. One of the biggest problems that we see is senior isolation, which has been magnified during this troubled time in the economy, especially considering the high price of gas,” he added.
In an effort to help older adults make the most of this holiday season, the Home Instead Senior Care network offers the following money-saving tips:
1. Consider in-home care. The costs of home care are often lower than other living options for seniors who need help. However, seniors and their families typically over-estimate that cost, according to research conducted for the Home Instead Senior Care network.
2. Economize at mealtime. Look for affordable meal options such as Meals on Wheels® or a local senior center, which can offer both cost savings and opportunities for companionship.
3. Get back to basics. While winter might not be a great time to garden in many parts of the country, container and potted gardens can be grown indoors year-round to deliver fresh herbs or even produce.
4. Avoid convenience. While that might seem like a strange statement, convenience many times equates to increased cost, especially when it comes to food. Avoid convenience foods and watch for sales on fresh or canned fruits, vegetables and meats, which can be less expensive.
5. Look for deals. It always pays to look for the best price, but no more so than with medications. Buy generic when possible. Contact a pharmacist about ways to save money on medications.
6. Thrifting is thrifty. Just because money is tight doesn’t mean that family and friends need to go without a holiday gift. Look to thrift stores for affordable gifts. Or make presents. A grandchild likely would love a recipe box of favorite family recipes and the stories that go with those dishes. Scrapbooks always are popular as well.
7. Carpooling makes sense. If it’s too cold to walk, contact others going in the same direction or to the same place and share costs.
8. Save energy. Installing weather-stripping, caulking leaky doors and windows, and installing gaskets behind outlet covers can lead to cost savings.
9. Decorate the natural way. Go green and save money. It’s amazing the beautiful holiday ornaments that can be created from pine cones and branches sprayed with silver, white or gold paint. Cranberry and popcorn garlands make pretty and affordable decorations as well.
10. Look to the experts. Call a local Area Agency on Aging if the costs of food and gas have become prohibitive. For more information about programs and resources, contact the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging.
Family caregivers can look to the Home Instead Senior Care network’s many online resources, such as the CaregiverStress.com website, to help seniors and their loved ones cope during difficult times.
ABOUT HOME INSTEAD SENIOR CARE
Founded in 1994 in Omaha by Lori and Paul Hogan, the Home Instead Senior Care® network is the world’s largest provider of non-medical in-home care services for seniors, with more than 900 independently owned and operated franchises providing in excess of 45 million hours of care throughout the United States, Canada, Japan, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Switzerland, Germany, South Korea, Finland, Austria, Italy and Puerto Rico.
