20 Aug

Continuing from the previous post on how “Saving from Grocery Coupons adds up …” here is a real life example with actual numbers … so you can see how much the savings add up to !!Save every month in your Grocery Bill

Can you even imagine how much of a difference it could make to your spendings if even one item which is a regular on your grocery list is bought at its lowest denominator each month.

Let’s suppose that your favourite brand of oil is rated at Rs. 60 a litre, and by the helpful perusal of the coupon service you’re able to buy it through the year at Rs.47 a litre, every month, even this one item of your grocery will bring in Rs. 166 every year to your pocket.

Let’s take for example an average family of 4 who buy the following items of grocery on a regular basis and check savings with the current coupons available in market.

Grocery Item MRP Coupon Price Yearly MRP Yearly with coupon Yearly savings
Pillsbury Atta-10 kgs 270 209 3240 2508 732
Sona Masoori Rice- 5 kg 175 145 2100 1740 360
Sugar- 5 kg 145 135 870 810 60
Safal Oil- 5 kg 300 235 3600 2820 780
Tata Tea- 1 kg 293 268 3516 3216 300
Coffee 143 108 1716 1296 420

As can be clearly seen the use of these Coupons can easily help you save a lot!! and don’t forget these are just a few items that I have listed here, there is a wide range of products out there which you use every month like diapers, pulses, soaps, sauce, Jam etc on which you can save big time. If you add it all up, then it can easily save you Rs 5000 a year. Now that is a real saving….

These coupons are available at stores like Star Bazaar, Spencers, MK Retail etc. You can pick up these leaflets and make an informed purchase. These are also in the Grocery Deals section on open2save, your only job being to give a few minutes of your time to peruse through these coupons and make your money last longer!

So no grocery without coupons is the new mantra…

Perk up your face

13 Aug

Beauty is an integral part of our lives. Since ages past there has been a constant struggle as to how to define beauty. Is beauty truly in the eyes of the beholder?? Also has our perception of it changed over the years? These are questions which are ever lurking in the background.

Well whatever it maybe fact of the matter is that we all like a feeling of being well turned out and attractively presented. It is a well known that such a feeling leads to a more confident personality and hence a more successful one.

Having said so a few tips on how to be a beautifully turned out person at all times are sure to be welcome. For most of us our face is our fortune. It is what the world relates to on 1st meeting , so according it its due lets check a few simple tips to better our fortune:Wash your face every 2 hours

  • Do you know that simply washing your face every 2 hours & rubbing ice on it afterwards helps keep away the grease and gives our face a fresher look, a fab tip to lighten your face this summer.
  • Want to get that first flush of love look on your face, here you go :mix equal quantities of almonds,rose water, glycerine & lemon juice on your face, leave on overnight. Wash it off in the morning 1st with warm water & then cold water. Now comes the tough part, getting ready to handle those envious looks complimenting your glowing persona.
  • Have the perfect face to launch a 1000 ships but marred by a shiny nose? no hassles: just apply a little sugar & water before powdering the face. Dab it on your nose & let it dry a bit before applying the powder thickly. Now wipe off the excess powder and you’re ready for that hot jaunt.

These were some home grown pointers, but if you have the leisure of getting a proper facial done once in a while here’s a factfile you should be aware of :

Facials :

This is one of the most popular but not very well understood beauty concept of our times : in our day to day life we fight pollution, sunrays & stress 24/7. These silent killers rob our skin of its natural moisture leading to its premature wrinkling & ageing. Facials are a wonderful means of rehydrating & rejuvenating our skin. Broadly speaking facials help :

  • in a thorough indepth cleansing & exfoliating of the dead skin, making the skin look healthier
  • they rejuvenate the skin by aiding in faster cell renewal
  • help provide the skin with indepth moisturisation

It is best to get a facial done every 4 to 6 weeks for thats how long the skin takes to regenerate. Long term benefit of regular facial treatments is that a lot of ones skin problems can be reduced and even prevented, leaving us with a healthier & hence a more beautiful visage.

So guys/gals that was something to perk up your face.

So long. Bye bye!!!
