Shopping for the holidays? Here’s a way to save money

by

The holidays will be upon us soon and I’m sure that many of you have already started shopping. I’m definitely not one of those people who are ready for the holidays three months in advance, but I know some of you might be finished shopping already.

If you are beginning to shop for the holidays you might want to visit webbyplanet.com. It’s an e-commerce search site where you can find great deals, discounts, coupons and free shipping at over 5000 retail and online stores.

When you visit Webbyplanet.com you can browse through the shopping categories or do a search for the product for which you are hoping to find a deal or coupon. Once you find the store or product you were looking for you can browse through the listings to find coupons that you can print and use for in store purchases, or you can find coupon codes to use while online.

Each listing links to the store the coupon or deal is related to and that makes it easy to take advantage of the bargain you found and shop for it right away.

Looking through the site I found quite a few deals and coupons. Many of the listings were for $10 to $20 off an item or service, and other listings gave discounts in percentages of 15% to 35% and higher. All of the listings are in chronological order which means the ones at the top are the newest listings.

Ready to buy a telephoto lense

by

The other day I decided to do some serious hunting for a telephoto lens for my Canon Digital SLR camera.

I found two lenses that I wanted to purchase. On Amazon of all places, and the price wasn’t too bad, but then I noticed that they would only ship those items to American addresses.

So … who knows of a great place to get camera lenses and accessories online for a good price? A place that ships throughout North America of course. Maybe Ebay? Any other ideas for me?

I was all set to plunk down about $700! It’s there loss. I’ll find the lenses I want at a good price somewhere else.

Fast Water Heater Repair and Maintenance

by

top.jpg

In the few years since we became home owners we’ve been fairly lucky in that none of our major home appliances have broken down. Yet. I always dread the first time the furnace comes on each fall though. Will it work? Will it keep running through the winter? Likewise, the water heater that we were renting from our local power company has yet to give us any trouble.

We have thought of replacing our rented water heater with one that we’d own ourselves. I think in the long run it would probably be cheaper as I still haven’t completely figured out how the power company comes up with the additional charges they add to our account for the water heaters use and rental. Still, whether it’s rented or owned the water heater is one of the home appliances that I’d hate to have break down in the winter time or anytime of year for that matter.

Do you own your water heater? Have you ever had water heater break down? I imagine it would be not only inconvenient, but stressful as well if your water heater were to break down, particular during the cool winter months.

Luckily for those of you who happen to live in California, Oregon and Washington states there’s fastwaterheater.com. This company specializes in Water Heater Repairs and maintenance.

The companies been in business since 1985 and unlike many other service companies they dispatch their technicians the same day if you call before noon! I think that’s great. I mean if your water heaters leaking or stopped working in the dead of winter you want it repaired fast.

Not only does this company maintain and repair water heaters, but they will also install traditional and Tankless Water Heaters too. The Fast Water Heater Company works with all the major manufacturer brands of water heaters.

If you need your water heater maintained or repaired just visit their site to find a service location in your area. For example if you live in Washington you might search for Seattle Water Heater. You’ll then be taken to a page with a local Fast Water Heater company number that you can call or you can fill out a form and make an inquiry via their web page.

Visit the site to learn more about the companies services and if you live in Washington, Oregon or California bookmark the website just in case you need Fast service in the future.
