Being from Canada, health insurance is a bit of an enigma to me. With the costs associated with health insurance it would seem practical to shop around to find the best insurance coverage at the best price you can. Like car or house insurance if you are paying for health insurance it would make sense to do your homework as it is going to be an expense that you will be paying for a very long time. Again with the internet ... Read More

My other half was off to Costco the other day so I wrote down a few items that I was after. Trust me, she is a shopper and knows her prices. She came a short while later with the items I wanted. Soup, frozen orange juice, batteries, Clamato, laundry detergent and a few other bulk items. The bill was near a hundred dollars and at first I was beside myself that we had spent so much on such a few items. ... Read More

One of the greatest things about the internet is being able to price watch and compare. Think back to the old days and you wanted to buy a television or air conditioner or anything really. If you wanted to price compare you were limited to either travelling to every store you wanted to shop at or call every store and get prices and quotes on goods. I hope that everyone is using the net to shop for best prices and ... Read More

I have been debating for a while to put up a garage or maybe just a carports on the side of the house. I had been pricing out the materials for a simple carport from a few lumber places and hardware stores. I then came across a website that has pre-made kits for carports and I was really impressed. They look like good quality building materials, easy to put up and the price is right. I am definitely rethinking about ... Read More

So gas prices are lower than they have been in months but don't expect to see the prices of anything else dropping soon. We have all seen some price increases in all sorts of products. The reason? Because the price of oil was up. Companies have two choices now, either keep their inflated prices to try to offset the high cost of fuel from earlier in the year or take the loss and keep consumers buying their products. Let's face ... Read More

I can't believe how many friends I have that go out and buy products without going to the internet and reading reviews. There are two types of reviews you will find. There are those left by website owners that review products themselves and give their opinions and reviews which are done by people that have used the products themselves. Websites with both are even better. One, because usually the website owner reviewer will familiar with the product along with other ... Read More

My friend just built and moved into his brand new home last week. He was telling me of all of the expenses that he was going tallying up as he bought some new furniture and electronics as well. He was complaining about some of the prices of the things he bought. I told him it was one of those things where you have to spend a little to save a little. If you cheap out on things like stereo equipment, ... Read More

I was thinking today back to when Howard Stern first went to Sirius and just how much money Arte Lange was spending on the vending machines. Although we don't have them at work we have items we can buy in the lunch room. Besides being totally the worst unhealthy foods you can buy constantly spending money everyday at a vending machine isn't good for the old wallet. If you want to save some money you have to stop throwing your ... Read More

Our family recently became Costco shoppers, something we should have done a very long time ago. Since starting the Save Money Blog I have been more aware of our shopping habits. Besides staying away from the more expensive grocery stores we are now bulk buyers. I recently blogged about putting some shelves up in a closet, well they are no filled and I am looking at clearing some storage space away downstairs. I cannot believe how much you can ... Read More
