Travel Accessories That Everyone Needs

The Value of Travel Accessories

Travel accessories make travel more efficient.  Sometimes, they are vital tools for survival, but most often travel accessories are the niceties that make your travel either more pleasant, more efficient – or both.

What are Travel Accessories?

We would like to introduce you to the concept of travel accessories.  Like many things that are before us every day, we naturally assume that we understand them, but we doubt it (no offense), and want to be sure that you do not overlook this important class of travel tool when planning your next trip.

Here are a few popular items that you might consider taking along on your next trip.

Luggage Carts

Travelon Adventurer Multi Purpose Cart  is a VERY popular luggage cart on amazon.  It sells for just under $30 on the Amazon website.  Link to: http://amzn.to/1v27TFK

This sturdy metal luggage cart receives 4 stars out of 5 at amazon.  It can easily accommodate two large suitcases, each up to 80 pounds in weight. It is made of steel, which makes it strong, light-weight and compact. The base of the cart is open platform so that you can place your luggage easily.

While made for luggage, there is no reason why this strong cart cannot be used to transport musical instruments, car seats and other large items.  The item might have its own cart, but usually you can expect this to be expensive – far more than the thirty dollars that you would pay for this cart – and it does the same job!

Luggage carts are available in various sizes (of course) so you want to buy according to your luggage requirements.  Prices can vary significantly, so while a very practical luggage cart like the Travelon prices at around $30, other similar carts can price in the $100 and $200 price range.

Luggage Wallets

As travel accessories go, luggage wallets are cool, and they come in so many forms, all sorted by function.  You will find passport wallets, money wallets specifically made to hold your travel documents so that you can keep everything in one easy to find location.

Money belts are another great form of travel wallet that can safeguard your money and valuables.  There is even a version that fits inside a woman’s bra.  These slick tools allow you to keep a little bait money in your wallet in case it is taken or lost, while all of your real money, valuables, even traveller’s checks are tucked away where nobody will think to look for them.

It’s amazing really.  Money belts have been around for centuries, and the average person is still completely unaware of them.  Even the thief who is robbing you blind has his eye on your wallet, your jewelry, even your wife’s purse and jewelry, and then off they go into the night – never once even considering that they might have left the real treasure behind.  The moral of the story is clear.  Money belts save lives and trouble – IF you are wearing one – which one should at all times.  Do not leave home without it…

You can see a whole range of travel wallets by visiting the following link to the Amazon website: Link to: http://amzn.to/1FDeRV0

As you will see, travel wallets come in a good range of sizes, styles and colors.  And, If you travel for business, you may take your pick of many choices for professional wallets.  Whatever your need, there is a travel wallet to meet it.

Shoe bags

Shoe Bags are another useful travel accessory that you will not want to be without when you travel.  These bags come in a variety of styles and sizes and are marvelous tools for organizing your shoes easily.  Pouch shoe bags ease packing your shoes inside your luggage, while a separate shoe bag would be perfect for carrying golf or sporting shoes.

We could spend all day talking about these bags, but for a look at several options for good, well-reviewed shoe bags, you might take a look at the following web page to see what types of shoe bags are available that meet with your approval.

Using travel accessories will help you stay organized, travel safely and stay organized while on the road.

More Travel Accessories:

Travel accessories cover a lot of ground.  We could not even begin to explore even one single class of offerings in this short post.  The goal here was to whet your appetite.  However, we do have a link for you to explore more offerings for yourself.

You will find highly rated travel accessories here for every need.  Remember that travel accessories are for use on the road.  As every woman knows, your daily cosmetics kit and a travel cosmetics bag are two different things entirely.

You will find plug adapters in case you are planning foreign travel, cosmetic bags, travel pillows, water bottles, travel chargers for your electronics and thousands more items just perfect to make your travel more enjoyable.

If you are planning travel soon, stop in and have a look at these useful travel accessories.  Just looking through these items should get you thinking about at least a few things that you might have overlooked altogether – until you needed them.  Take a moment and look around.  You have nothing to lose.

Have fun!

Windows 10 Update Is Coming ... Get your Tech On!

Windows 10 Update Technical Preview

Windows 10 Update is just on the horizon.  While it’s no secret that I prefer the Linux operating system, I recently started a series about Windows entitled “Patch or Smash Windows XP” and thought that this would make an excellent follow up. Many Windows users have extremely strong preferences for specific distributions and XP’s following was no exception, in fact it was the rule. So as the rumors circulate that XP, Vista, and 7, users will be asked to switch over to 10 (possibly for free) my curiosity was piqued. Windows 10 Technical Preview I spent 6 weeks on Windows XP comparing it to other Windows and Linux just to get familiar enough with everything to write an honest comparative between them and honestly I wasn’t surprised to see a properly formatted and *configured XP system with service pack 3 outperform many other configurations of both Vista, and 7. *Properly configured meaning every service pack, updated runtimes, correct versions of vc basic runtimes, Direct X updates, .net frameworks, etc etc. Please note that Vista and 7 when *configured correctly, and particularly with the right service packs, each had performance advantages over XP though they weren’t particularly noticeable aside from start ups and shutdowns.

Online Retailer Wars: Working With an Online Retailer

How To Work Safely With Online Retailer

Choosing an online retailer can be a daunting task, but it is very important.  Just like traditional local shoppers, online shoppers must carefully compare online retailers, rather than just jump on the first option offered by the search engines.

Traditional shoppers have learned since childhood where to go to buy what they want, but a brave new world beckons – and many shoppers are clueless about how to navigate it.  They order an item and it is the wrong color lot.  They take a chance on a new lawn mower and it fails upon encountering the first rock.

The first step that the fuming consumer takes is to blame the online retailer, but there really is enough blame to go around.  Choosing an online retailer is an art, not a science.  Even if you do everything right, you could still be wrong.  Here are some of the reasons why your retailer might not be at fault.

The Price Driven Decision

This may be the biggest of the consumer crimes.  Thinking of your pocket-book, as opposed to what you want in a product can cause you to see things that really are not there at all.  It looks great in the picture, the description is spot on, and at this price how can I say no?  This is the wrong way to go.

First, do your homework and learn the easy way what earlier customers paid dearly to learn.  You must read customer reviews – wherever you can find them.  Many online stores are offering reviews now, although amazon remains head and shoulders ahead of most of these for completeness and number of reviews available.

You don’t need to buy here, but it should be your first stop for information on the product, and on the online retailer who sells it.  If a retailer screws a customer, that customer is welcome to say so on the record – and nobody will write a review faster than angry customer will.

The angry reviews are the most informative.  If a product, or an online retailer pulls a fast one, the offended customer wants YOU to know.  Once a review rises above two stars its value falls in terms of helping you to size up a product from the negative point of view.  Study as many of these as you can, take notes and make your decision after a day or two of deliberations.

Making Price Comparisons

Once you have done your homework and selected a product based on your needs, the next step is to find that very same product at the best possible price.  You will need special tools for this step, such as a good comparison catalog.  There may be many places online to find a good catalog able to do this, but we offer a very good one right here at Sincere Product Reviews {link to catalog} that will do the job quite nicely.  Just enter the product and up comes a list of stores with current prices.  Just visit that store directly from the catalog and make your purchase.

Prices vary wildly among online retailers.  Type almost any product in this catalog and you can see price variations as great as a hundred dollars or more.

These price deviations are NOT trying to cheat you.  These typically happen when an online retailer wants to reduce inventory to make room for new products or simply because the retailer is planning to discontinue a product.  Heck, the retailer might even be planning to go out of business.  To benefit from these fluctuations, you need to know the price of the product right NOW.  A catalog like the one that we recommend {link to catalog} is always up to date – and can help you to save a heap of money.  Use it to select a reputable online retailer who is selling what you want at the best price.

Failing to Understand the Product

Now, you have selected your online retailer, we have a larger problem.

Certainly, cost is one of the first things that consumers consider when comparing online retailers or even traditional retailers, for that matter.  However, even more important than the price is your need to understand the product – especially where online shopping is concerned.  You might pay more – but you are more likely to get exactly what you thought you were buying.

The online retailer has limited options to help you here.  You must read the reviews as suggested earlier – but you must make sure that you really understand the nature of the product.  Do not skimp on the information.  The specifications are there for your protection.  Take a moment to understand them.  Too often we read a complaint from an irate customer that another customer points out a solution for – found right there in the manual!

They will buy a power generator and complain that it quit after a week, when the manual clearly says to oil it first.  Alternatively, they will buy a cooking pot and claim that the handles melted when canning their favorite fruit – when the product description clearly says that the handles are plastic, and not ceramic or metal and should not be put to use in such circumstances.

The point is this: if you miss these things then others likely will too – and they will warn you ahead of time, if you take time to do some homework.  As we said earlier, you want to be sure to read the “one star” and “two star” reviews to understand what the problems with your intended purchase might be.

You should also contact the store and talk to someone who understands the product well enough to answer your questions and if the product is available locally, take a run down to the store and kick the tires.

These steps will help to guide you toward a more informed choice.

Ignoring the Online Retailer Returns Policy

Here it is, real simple.  Online shoppers must also always understand the return policies of the online retailer in question before making purchases online.  Ideally, what you want is a no questions asked return policy – and if you can’t get it, you might consider either buying from another online store or putting an agent such as amazon or PayPal between you and the seller.

Behind such an agent, if you have issues with the product, your powers will amplify substantially.  You should find that you can get a refund almost immediately, with little hassle or delay.  If a retailer won’t (or can’t) sell through these agents, this only serves to benefit them – not you - so tread carefully.

There is soooo much more to say in this post that I hate to end it here, but you should have enough tips to help you to work effectively with an online retailer.  If you need more information, there is plenty of it over at the Sincere Product Reviews main website.  You can find the link below.

Tinnitus Relief: Some Powerful Suggestions

Constant Ringing In Your Ears?   Try These Tinnitus Remedies!

Tinnitus relief is not a one-size-fits-all proposition.  Tinnitus sufferers understand this very well, but for those of you with questions, let us begin by defining the term.

Merriam Webster-Webster Online Dictionary describes Tinnitus as “a sensation of noise (as a ringing or roaring) that is caused by a bodily condition (as a disturbance of the auditory nerve or wax in the ear) and typically is of the subjective form which can only be heard by the one affected.”

Often times, sufferers hear hissing, roaring, clicking or buzzing sounds.  These sounds can vary in both volume and pitch.  They can be heard in either one or both ears.  The condition can be downright debilitating.

That is all we plan to say about the condition itself, because medical advice is well beyond the scope of this article – and our training, if we can be frank.  Our goal is not to advise you medically on how to deal with your tinnitus.  Rather, as our usual practice, we just want to make you aware of some resources for tinnitus relief that might offer you some comfort.

Here are the important things we hope you will take away from this review...

• Bookmark this post - and come back to it often as you work through your problem.
• Get creative.  The first option might fail, but one of these products might work.
• Make a project.  Make a plan, try some things, tweak the plan, try another thing, until you make progress.  Then build on that progress until you have your solution.  That's not too much bother to quiet your skull, is it?
• Understand your problem.  Your doctor might not be able to cure your problem, but knowing the cause might help you to choose a promising option.  Ask him or her for the cause, if they know it.  That done, your doctor will NOT analyze this list for you.  You MUST be willing to seek solutions to help yourself.
• Consider trying several products together.  Tinnitus has many causes.  Try to find a recipe that solves your unique problem.  Consult your doctor if you have questions about how to do this safely.
• Tinnitus occurs from different causes.  There is no one-size-fits-all approach to tinnitus relief.  You must consider experimenting with many options to find what works for YOU.
• Get medical advice from a doctor about any item here that you have doubts about.
• Get your program Started.  Tinnitus rarely just goes away.  DO SOMETHING!

Severe cases of tinnitus can negatively affect the sufferer's quality of life.  We hope that you are not one of these extreme cases, but if you are – and have not found help, we offer you some resources that you might wish to explore.  Remember, you won't know your solution for tinnitus relief on sight.  You need to experiment and explore possible options to find what works for YOU.

Now, let's get started...   

=====================

Tools available at amazon:

These products for tinnitus relief were highly rated by earlier customers at amazon.  Such positive results from anxious and suffering customers should certainly hint at some possible solutions for YOU.  Can’t hurt to try them, right?

Click the links below to learn more about these helpful products are amazon.

Tinnitus: Turning the Volume Down (Revised & Expanded)

The author of this book, Kevin Hogan is a doctorate in psychology who himself suffered from a debilitation tinnitus.  This book rates 3.7 stars among earlier customers making it perhaps the best-rated book of this type on amazon.

Can it help you?  We cannot say, because we don’t know, but most earlier customers at amazon who have actually read the book came away with positive feelings.  In fact, this seems to be the “go to” book for tinnitus relief among tinnitus sufferers.

If you are serious about curing your tinnitus (and who isn’t) then you are exploring every option for tinnitus relief, and positive acceptance of this book by fellow tinnitus sufferers ought to be good news to you.

Click the link above to have a closer look.

Marpac DOHM-DS, Natural White Noise Sound Machine

 

 

 

 LectroFan - Fan Sound and White Noise Machine, White

 

 

These well received white noise generators seem to be very popular with tinnitus sufferers.  Consequently, white noise generators proliferate on the market, but we have chosen two here that are well received with earlier customers of these two products.

We chose the generators above because each offers more than a thousand reviews.  With so many customer voices, we feel that the ratings (both about 4.5 stars) have integrity.  They may not help you, but they will do what they promise to do – and that seems to have helped many others.

Obviously, these noise generators are not a tinnitus treatment per se, but they do seem to be popular with those who have used them, and we can only surmise that there may be more to these white noise generators than meets the eye.

Other Options...

Tinnitus is a terrible condition, we get that.  We don’t have any magic wand for tinnitus relief, but we have chosen some products above that have been of some comfort to like sufferers, and that is the best that we can do.  Chances are high that these products will help, but they are not your only options.

We will now introduce several other possible avenues for tinnitus relief, but it is up to YOU to experiment, to try even the most unlikely of tinnitus relief products, until you find that needle in the haystack.  

The most expensive options might not help your tinnitus, while the least expensive and innocuous of these might turn the trick.  Every case is different.  You MUST determine what works for YOU.

(Click a pic to learn more...)

 

Do not prejudge.  It may even be that you need to try several options - working together - to create the recipe for relief that you are seeking.  You can't do nothing - as the condition could worsen to become a real problem.  Don't quit on yourself without having explored every option.

Getting professional help is your very best option, but If you have not been able to find professional help yet, then it is up to YOU to help yourself.  Your problem may not impossible to solve, just because you have not yet found the solution.  Here is a true story...

I once had a friend who thought he would have to live with excruciating back pain for life, because no doctor could find the answer.  He consulted plenty of them, and they shrugged at him and clicked their educated tongues, but they could not relieve his pain - short of drugging him with pills.

Then, one day, in desperation, he tried a chiropractor because - well - what other choice was there?  BAM!  He was cured with a single treatment.  Not one of those doctors recommended a chiropractor to him.  He had to work his problem on his own.

The moral of the story is that there may be relief for your tinnitus here.  There are certainly PLENTY of options, but you've got to resolve to spend some serious time working on your problem.  When the going gets tough - the tough really do get going.

Don't just try an option and then quit.  Treat the matter like an important project.  If the company presentation just won't work as you have prepared it, then you've got to start again from scratch until you draft a product that you can be proud of.

Your Check List of things to remember.

• Bookmark this post - and come back to it often as you work through your problem.
• Get creative.  The first option might fail, but one of these products might work.
• Make a project.  Make a plan, try some things, tweak the plan, try another thing, until you make progress.  Then build on that progress until you have your solution.  That's not too much bother to quiet your skull, is it?
• Understand your problem.  Your doctor might not be able to cure your problem, but knowing the cause might help you to choose a promising option.  Ask him or her for the cause, if they know it.  That done, your doctor will NOT analyze this list for you.  You MUST be willing to seek solutions to help yourself.
• Consider trying several products together.  Tinnitus has many causes.  Try to find a recipe that solves your unique problem.  Consult your doctor if you have questions about how to do this safely.
• Tinnitus occurs from different causes.  There is no one-size-fits-all approach to tinnitus relief.  You must experiment with many options to find what works for YOU.
• Get medical advice from a doctor about any item here that you have doubts about.
• Get your program Started.  Tinnitus rarely just goes away.  DO SOMETHING!

In summary, please understand that you won’t know what the answer is until you find it, but we feel certain that the answer for your tinnitus is out there.  Tinnitus is nothing to just decide to live with for life.  You must continually keep trying to find an answer.  I don't believe in giving up.  If you don't succeed the first time (rare with any project) then you MUST be prepared to try again - and again.  THAT is how success is made - by persistence, trial and error.  

You have work to do now, so get cracking.  We hope that these suggestions will help.

Best of luck – and feel better soon…

How to Use The SMART System to Predict Hard Drive Failure

SMART System Can Warn You of Drive Failure.

The SMART System (Self Monitoring Analysis and Report Technology), which first started to appear in consumer hard drives about 10 years ago, is a brilliant concept - it's meant to tell you if a hard drive is about to die - but in practice, I think we can all agree that the SMART System has always been rather underwhelming....

Navigating Online Shopping Dangers

 

A Guide to Navigate the Online Shopping Dangers

Online shopping is one of the 21st century’s great revolutions.  It’s kinda like the holo-suites that we see in the StarTrekTM shows, where virtual reality is taken that one step beyond.  Through online shopping, one can buy English scones directly from England, shop for antiques on Bourbon Street, or peruse the wares of the Caribbean through a computer interface. 

However, there are online shopping dangers too, and all of us must cope with them.  Some people think the solution is to avoid online shopping altogether, but this is simply no longer possible.  Even if you make your purchase in a local store, your information will certainly end up on a computer database somewhere.

The familiar old adage says, “if you can’t beat them – join them,” and where online shopping is concerned, this is certainly true.  You CANNOT beat them; one must accept this as a reality.  Today, if you have no online presence at all – you do not exist – it is that simple.  Call anybody for information about you, and that operator will need “a second to look that up” and then turn to a computer for the information.

Online shopping dangers are very real.  This article will address some of these concerns and offer tips to help shoppers to cope with them.  Now, let’s get cracking…

Identity Theft

As online shopping dangers go, concerns about identity theft top the list as the greatest concern for those who shop online.  Identity theft is a very real concern because unscrupulous people who get sensitive information can damage an individual’s financial status and credit score.  Many people recoil at this notion, and refuse to shop online at all.  The irony here is that an online store is almost certain to be a safer place for a consumer’s digital information than a local store.  Why?

Online stores expect a certain amount of digital shenanigans, and they invest a great deal of money to ensure that their client’s information is secure.  They know that data miners will try to hack their systems.  They know that customers will want assurance that this will not happen, and they know that these customers will seek signs of data security at every point along the purchasing process.

Local stores, however, have traditionally found no need for such an investment, because customers have never demanded such.  Customers just toss the money on the counter, even apply for a digital card that the store computers can read to give them a discount – and never once think about the integrity of that data – until the store’s computers are compromised.  What with so many large popular shopping centers now being hacked, this attitude is changing, but for now, online sites built for operation on the internet might still be a safer bet to guard against identity theft.

Therefore, the first piece of advice for anybody who wants true data security (ironically) is to shop online!  Now, we cannot get out of life alive – and risks are everywhere, but if you are dealing with a reputable store – then chances are good that your data is safe.

If your identity is compromised, it is usually possible to manage the effects of identity theft, and you have some knowledgeable and powerful partners in the fight.  We refer to the bankers, who have put strict guidelines into place to monitor banking habits and to flag any anomalous behavior.  If such dangers are spotted, the bank will communicate directly with the account owner before permitting the transaction to proceed.  Credit card companies have similar petitioning process, as does PayPal, which offers a procedure to refund a purchase that works like a dream.  Most merchants will return merchandise without a word of challenge when merchandise is petitioned, because they know that the bank will usually side with the buyer than the seller.  The battle simply is not worth it.

While we are on the subject of online shopping dangers, here is one that you might not have thought of.  You might also check to see if your store is on a secure server.  This is something else you can check for online that you cannot verify in store.

To make this check you can examine the web address for any website in which you are to submit sensitive information.  Websites that start with “https://” as opposed to “http://” indicate the information is passing through a secure server.

This advice does NOT apply to the shopping catalogs.  Most of these will NOT be secure, nor do they need to be.  You are simply reading data feeds, and nothing more.  You should NEVER submit your private information to a catalog for any reason.

When it comes time to pay for your purchase, however, most any reputable online retailer will send you to a secure website to make your transaction.  If the server is not secure, then the shopper should perhaps call customer service to place the order rather than submit the information through the unsecured website.

Returns

Difficulty with product returns also ranks high with consumers as one of the more persistent of the online shopping dangers.  This danger too, is very real.  Nothing is more frustrating than getting the wrong product, and then having to battle with a hard-nosed support person who is barking at you in broken English out of Thailand.

So, what is the solution?  Take the matter out to their hands.  If you are dealing with an unknown merchant, always put a payment agent between you and the seller.  PayPal is one of the most famous of these.  If your purchase draws your disapproval, PayPal makes it dead bang simple to request a refund from the seller.  You don’t have to argue with anybody.  Just let PayPal do it for you.

Amazon is another great agent to put between you and the seller.  If you work directly with a store, you (as the buyer) might be responsible for paying to return the item to the warehouse – and these shipping costs can be significant.  Buy through amazon, and if the item arrives broken, or is the wrong size, or it just is not the product you felt you were buying – just complete a simple form online – and voila – your merchandise is refunded and a pickup is scheduled to return the failed merchandise to the seller – EZ, PZ.

Misleading Product Descriptions

One final concern among the online shopping involves misleading product descriptions.  Sometimes, this is the fault of the description author, and sometimes the buyer just misread (or missed) the crucial element.  Either way, you don’t want to be stuck with merchandise that you do not want.

If you are shopping online then you will be receiving an unwanted or damaged product at some point.  Before deciding that the product is bad, your first step is to review the product with earlier customers.  A good place to do this is on the amazon site.  If they loved it, then you probably got a bad unit.

Next stop is the customer service.  If there are issues, they will have heard of them, and have likely put in place a method of working with customers complaining of the issue.

You best bet, however, is to buy through an agent as suggested earlier, so that the issue is not just between you and the seller – unless you understand the return policies of your seller very well.  Especially if you used a credit card, making a product return can be a monumental headache.  A disreputable merchant will rather test your mettle than grant an immediate refund.  They will fight, and while you may win in the end – you will have plenty of bruising to remind you of what a real fight can be like.

 Final Words

We have covered some of the more popular online shopping dangers that you might encounter in the marketplace.  We have looked at some of the dangers of local shopping too.  Dangers are everywhere.  It really is a jungle out there.  Watch your back, and always shop from behind a protective shield, so that if you need assistance, you won’t be directly at the mercy of the support of the seller.

Amazon, E-Bay, PayPal, and a host of other agents can really make a difference when problems arise with your order.  Instead of feeling victimized, suddenly, you discover that you have “powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.”  Use them wisely.

Have fun!

Using Coupons: The REAL Secrets for Using Coupons to Save Money

The Virtue and Value of Using Coupons

Most retailers understand that competition is fierce, especially in the larger towns, and that using coupons can help to even the odds.  To help encourage customer loyalty, these merchants either print or accept coupons for various products.

The best case for using coupons is to buy grocery items that you commonly use.  Impulse buying because of a “deal” actually costs you money – as opposed to saving it.  Try to find coupon deals on items that you would have paid full price for anyway.

Watch for double or triple coupon days.  Using coupons on these special days, stores will offer you double or perhaps even triple the face value of the coupon.  Most stores only offer double and triple coupon values on specific days of the week but shopping is a strategy, so you need to know where and when these deals occur.

When shopping, always remember that Merchants want you to feel that you got a deal when using coupons, even though the store actually made a large profit.  In fact, that is the very nature of running a store, but the practice should not extend itself to cheating the customer.  You need to be sure that the store offering the coupons is not “inflating the prices.”  The best solution here is to shop those stores that you know best, so that you have a feeling for their normal prices.

Free coupons are everywhere!  You will find them in magazines and newspaper ads.  You will find printable coupons on-line.  There are online coupons that can only be used when shopping on-line and local coupons that are only good in your local market.  There are even some online sites, such as retailmenot.com, and EZ Global Shopping Catalog where you can find enough online coupons to make you giddy.

Using coupons is an art.  You must learn to organize your coupons according to a system.  It is frustrating (and humbling) to have the grocery clerk run up your bill, only to find that the coupons that you planned to use for payment are mostly all expired.  You can find a coupon organizer by just making a simple search on google – or if you want to make the task even easier, just visit this link [Coupon Organizers].

Here is a money-saving tip for using coupons that you might not know about.  Some coupon friendly retail stores offer a service counter where you can take your unwanted coupons for trade.  Other people use your unwanted coupons while you pocket coupons of value to you on goods that you use all the time.  Ask your favorite merchants if they offer this service.

If you have a competitor’s coupon, do not just throw it away.  Sometimes, properly using coupons means knowing how to make a deal.  Often, many retailers are entirely willing to honor these coupons to make the sale in their store and to win a loyal customer.

The best way to approach the matter is to take the coupon into the store with you and ask to speak to the manager.  In most cases, the manager will at least match the price of the competition.  Heck, some retailers will even give you 100 percent plus, if you can show them a better price from a competitor.  This is a VERY common practice – so keep your eyes open.

Also, do not just think “coupon” when shopping for groceries.  When using coupons, you must treat them as you would any other form of currency.  Any time that you plan to shop for clothes, to make an online purchase, to visit the pet shop for supplies, shop for pizza or a cheesecake at the bakery, think of ways to make your purchase using coupons instead of cash.  For a rich source of coupons, check the “coupon” section of the EZ Global Shopping Catalog that we mentioned earlier, or perhaps you will find them right there at the local bakery itself!

Wanna go out tonight cheap?  Well, using coupons is the best way to do that on a thin budget.  In fact, many restaurants local to where you are right now very likely offer discount coupons just to get people to come in and eat.  Your local pizza parlor almost certainly does this as customers are using coupons habitually there, but they are far from alone.  Such coupons might be limited to certain days, certain dishes, or even certain hours – but if you’ve got something more pressing to do than saving your money, we’d like to know what that is.

Even the gambling casinos have gotten into the act.  Did you ever wonder how you got that free room?  Then, when you arrive, lying on the vanity is a coupon book that offers you discounts on everything.  Using coupons, you can order drinks at the bar, a massage at the spa, even take free pulls at the jackpot machines.  Would you refuse to use these coupons?  Certainly not!

So, take the time to seek coupons for items that you already spend your money on and enjoy the rewards of spending less while enjoying more.  You may think using a $.75 cent coupon here or a $2.00 coupon there is silly.  You may feel that keeping track of expiration dates and digging about your bags to save a few cents is a steep price to pay just to get into using coupons – and should you plan to die tomorrow – you would be right.

However, if you plan to be with us for a time, these pennies really start to add up in a big way.  It is sobering to consider the amount of money that you have spent on groceries, on eating out, and on entertainment for a single year.  If you expand this projection to span your entire life – and the result could be downright depressing.  It is clear that, were you using coupons over all that time - your bank account would be a LOT fatter.

However, it is not too late.  Use these tips to get into the game and start using coupons right now.  You can bet that when you look back over the next ten years – the results will be rosier.  Much rosier…
