Chest Freezer- The Best Money Saver.

Buying a freezer saves a large amount of money over time. The larger the size of the freezer, the more money it saves. A chest freezer which has more storage space is the right freezer to buy if you want to save money. The following are the advantages of buying a chest freezer.

You Can Buy Things in Large Quantity at Cheap Rates.

Buying groceries in large quantities is always cheap. When you have enough storage space in your freezer, you can buy your necessities in large quantities and you are sure to get them at discounted prices. There are also seasonal items which are very cheap in their season. Buy them when they are cheap and store them in your freezer. A chest freezer, thus, allows you to buy things in bulk at very low prices and the savings you make will amount to a large sum over time.

You Can Buy Perishable Products at Cheap Prices.

Meat, fish, vegetables and fruits are extremely perishable and the sellers will try to sell their stock before the expiry date. They will be ready to sell these items at very low prices as the expiry date approaches nearer. This is your right time to buy these items. By allowing you to store the perishable goods you buy at cheap rates, the chest freezer save you a lot of money and keep you out of trouble.

You Can Curtail the Cost and Time of Cooking.

If you have a chest freezer, you can cook food in bulk and keep the leftover in the chest freezer. This saves you both fuel and cooking time. When you have cooked food at home, you don’t have to run to fast food restaurants every time you feel hungry. A chest freezer, therefore, is the right choice if you want to keep your budget under control.

 

Safety deposit boxes VS safes

 

All of us want to protect the valuable items of our life from the reach of thieves and criminals. This is equally true about the billionaires of the world as well as the average Joes. One of the major opportunities for securing our valuables is by purchasing or renting a safety deposit box in a bank.

How does the deposit boxes with banks work? In most cases, the banks charge you a fixed amount for leasing the box. This is typically charged once every year and is taken from your bank account. This is a good opportunity for people who have a variety of valuable items that need to be kept away from the arms of your enemies.

 

What about people who do not have a lot of valuable possessions? In case of these people, the cost of paying the bank a fixed amount on an annual basis is not worth the effort. They can purchase a safe for their home for as low as $100.

 

Now, you may find a variety of firms that provide standalone safes that are fire and water proof and falls within your budget. In addition there are many levels of ratings for safes. By purchasing one of these safes, you can save on the recurring cost of leasing a safety deposit box.

 

Toronto’s Living Spaces Getting Smaller

InToronto, Canada, living conditions are becoming more and more cramped as condos are becoming smaller and smaller. Prices are not really decreasing much for living in a smaller space. As of right now, over 63 percent of condos that are ready to be lived in are either studios or one bedroom. A tiny 4 percent are more than two bedrooms, and only 9 percent of the two bedrooms include a den. Also, of the over 9,000 condos planned to be ready by the year 2014 for the city ofToronto, 67 percent of those are only studios or one bedroom.

 

 

As I said, the average size is also going down dramatically. As of right now, the average size of a condo is 822 square feet. For the projected estimates for 2014, that size will go down to 644 square feet. Living in smaller spaces for the same price is not going to be an easy task for many Canadians, but it seems there will soon be no choice with all of the building plans being on a smaller scale.

Tips On Haggling For Your Car

Car buying is like a big haggling game that you play with the car dealer. In this article, consumer advisors talk about how you can win this game. Here are some of the highlights:
  • Research on the price of the car before you visit the dealer. Knowing the invoice price and the going market price will give you a better idea of how much your dealer is marking up the car and give you a better bargaining position.
  • Take the emotions out of haggling, and buy your car online. If you are not facing the dealer in person, you will feel less pressured.
  • If you have a car to trade in, get a quote on it from Carmax and see if your dealer can give you a better price.
  • Before you finance your car through the dealer, get a loan preapproved from another financial institution. Then you can compare the two financing plans.
  • Take advantage of all the rebates that you qualify for.
  • Do your car shopping at the end of the month when your dealer has to meet his monthly quota.
  • If the dealer is not offering you the deal that you want, walk away. There is a good chance that they will go after you with a better deal.
