Default Mothers Day Savings

Something i was reading caught my eye,take a look.

Showing Mum how special she is doesn't have to be expensive. PriceGrabber.co.uk(R), a part of Experian, announces its list of smart Mother's Day shopping techniques to help shoppers express their love for Mum without emptying their bank accounts.


- Cut the cost of sweet treats - Make homemade chocolates, cupcakes or
biscuits instead of buying gourmet chocolate truffles.
- Comparison-shop for gifts - Comparison-shop for Mother's Day
gifts like perfume, clothing, accessories and books on sites like
PriceGrabber.co.uk (http://www.pricegrabber.co.uk/), which can help
Save consumers an average of 20 percent to 30 percent.
- Presentation is everything - Take the time to decorate gifts with
ribbon and stylish tissue paper. Chic gift-wrap accessories can help an
inexpensive gift look more luxurious.
- Card creativity - Make your own Mother's Day card, or use a free e-card
Website to tell Mum just how special she is. Homemade cards are more
personal and are guaranteed a special place on her shelf.
- Avoid restaurant lunch mayhem - Cook a special Mother's Day lunch at
home, away from the crowds and inflated restaurant prices. There's no
need to worry about a reservation when dining at home.
- Set a price alert - PriceGrabber.co.uk allows consumers to set a
price alert (http://tiny.cc/0fhgv) that sends them an email
notification when the item drops to their desired price. This is
especially helpful for big-ticket Mother's Day gifts like electronics
(http://electronics.pricegrabber.co.uk/).
- Check for coupons online - PriceGrabber's coupon category
(PriceGrabber.co.uk) helps shoppers find
increased discounts on their favorite Mother's Day gifts by allowing
them to search coupons by category.
- Gifts from the heart, not from the purse - Tell mum how much she
means with a poem or heartfelt note. Print or handwrite it on elegant
paper and place it in a handsome frame so she can cherish it forever.
