Food Bills on the increase for UK Families

2008-04-23T11:15:00.002+01:00

Research out today has revealed that UK families have to spend an extra £800 a year on grocery bills as food prices soar.

As the price of food and raw materials goes up, the big supermarkets are passing these price increases on to shoppers, the cost of a basket of basic goods including tea and pasta have increased by 15% since last month.

This means a family spending £100 a week on grocery shopping now has to find an extra £780 a year to buy the same shopping. The figures were revealed by MySupermarket.co.uk which monitors the main supermarkets products.

This is on top of the credit crunch which is squeezing the family wallet through higher mortgage payments. In fact costs are rising all over, with energy costs going up and petrol prices increasing.

It is more important than ever for shoppers to shop around to find the best prices to offset these rises.

We recommend that shoppers should source discount vouchers and use cashback on their shopping, and investigate other ways to cut the monthly bills.

Here are a few ways to do this:

* Compare and switch gas and electricity providers.
* Cut telephone bills, by using Skype or an all in one TV, Broadband and phone call package.
* Cut down on credit card spending and transfer balances to lower rate credit cards.
* Calculate whether it is worth using savings to pay of some of your mortgage.
* Shop around to find the best prices.

Get Cashback on your Shopping

2008-02-12T15:06:00.001Z

Cashback is a fairly new concept on the internet, and is only available because of the technology involved of tracking purchases, but it means that when you shop online through a certain website you can make savings, in the form of cashback, on all of your shopping.

SendmeCashback.co.uk is a new casback service from SendMeDiscounts.co.uk. It means that as well as discount vouchers we can now offer internet cashback too.

Here is a few examples of how it works and what savings you can make on your usual purchases:

You wish to buy your wife a necklace for Valentines Day, and you have found one that you like on Ernest Jones, it is already reduced to £150 from £300. If you purchase that necklace through SendMeCashback.co.uk you pay £150 to Ernest Jones and we will pay you 7% of the total or £10.50. That means that effectively you only paid £139.50 for the necklace.

Another exampe is a finance cashback. You need to renew your car insurance you search around and get the best quote from Churchill Insurance. If you buy that insurance through SendMeCashback.co.uk we will give you £35 cashback. All online Churchill insurance quotes are discounted by 25% anyway. So the cashback offers an extra saving.

It is also possible to use our voucher codes in conjunction with the cashback meaning that you can get even more money off your shopping when you use our websites.

Join up to SendMeCashback.co.uk today and start getting cashback on all your shopping online.

Gas Prices Set to Rise in 2008

2007-12-19T13:53:00.000Z

Gas prices have started to rise again this year and the trend looks set to continue through 2008.

NPower is the latest utility company to increase the price of gas and electricity following British Gas who have increased the price of gas by up to 15% for some of their tariffs.

Npower's prices will rise by 17% for gas and 13% for electricity on it's energy tracker price plan, the rises will come into effect from 1st January 2008.

It is likely that these prices will continue to rise throughout next year. One way to try and cut the cost of these utility bills is to compare your current tariffs with other suppliers to see if you are with the cheapest company and on the best tariff for your consumption.

They will even help you to apply for the new supplier and change your accounts over from your old one, thus making it quicker and easier to change.

These price comparison companies will provide impartial information about each energy supplier and make it easy to compare the different tariffs to see which company provides the cheapest energy.

The best utility price comparison websites are accredited by EnergyWatch which ensures that they provide accurate details and information.

Energy price comparison websites include, uSwitch, Simply Switch and Energy helpline

Ofcom enquiry into Sky's Digital TV Dominance.

2007-12-19T13:29:00.001Z

Ofcom, the communications watchdog is to examine Sky's dominance of digital TV in the UK to see if Sky have “the incentive to make their premium content, such as sports and movies, available to other retailers and other platform operators”.

This could be a good move for other digital TV operators such as Setanta and Virgin, and might mean that Sky will have to offer their channels to the other TV companies for less than they currently charge. It might also mean that other digital TV companies will find it easier to start up.

Ofcom will investigate further, especially Sky's policy of selling Sports and Movies to subscribers who take the basic channel options. They will finally decide at the end of next year when their investigation ends and they might refer it to the competition commission.

So it will be a while yet before we will know if it will result in lower prices or more choice. In the meantime we will continue to list details of special offers and discounts for Setanta, Sky and Virgin Media
