Tip Of The Day

Tired Of Having Your Bread Mold Days After You Buy It?

I almost always buy the fresh bread in the bakery with no preservatives or make my own. During the summer months when it is so warm my bread was molding before the loaf was half gone. Well I tried everything, freezing (which bread never seems to be the same after freezing it)  I put it in the fridge and still mold.  Anyway I had bought some of those green plastic bags that are supposed to keep your vegetables fresher longer, well I put a loaf of french bread in one and put it in the fridge and its been over a week and a half and its still fresh and no mold!

I found some of the green bags at the $ store. That's cheaper than Walmart!

A Five Minute Call Can Save U $$$

This month I made a couple of phone calls approx 5 minutes each and saved us $550.00 a year. First I called our satelite company (dish) and asked why our bill had went up $10.00 a month when I made no changes. So they looked and said well we do have a special going right now and we can reduce your monthly charge $10.00. So there was a $120.00 a year savings in less than 5 minutes.

I also called our auto insurance.  In our recent bill there was a letter "Notice To Policy Holders" We have introduced a new plan for pricing auto insurance.and you may qualify under this plan. They stated the new plan was was more complex and more accurate formula  to determine premiums. They said if you were interested to call. So I did and 10 minutes later I had saved us $430.00 a year!

So there is a savings of $550.00 a year in less than 15 minutes! Usually I don't read all the paper work when our insurance policy comes due.  I usually just check the premium due. It pays to read all the paper work enclosed!

If you have been a long time customer with a company and you think your interest rate or monthly bill is too much call them,.  Companies now days want to keep good paying long term customers. happy.  In the past and even today you will see ads and specials to lure in new customers, but I think companies are learning that they really need those loyal customers who pay on time.

So give it a try you have nothing to lose and lots to gain!!
