In the winter of 2008/09 the cost of domestic gas on the wholesale market in Britain soared,leaving consumers to pay even bigger bills.

People where upset and made a song and dance about it but by and large people did nothing.

Perhaps your one of them?

Because of this there have been many articles written about ‘How to cut down on the use of Gas in the Home’. But when you read them all you either have to spend a fortune or have your house colder than you would like.

That’s not for me … and I don’t want to save just a few pounds either.

I want whatever I do to be worthwhile.

And I guess you do too.

So…

Can you really reduce gas your bill and is it worth it?

Who are the best gas suppliers in the UK?

And who are the best gas and electric suppliers on price and service?

It stands to reason that the cheapest suppliers will help you cut gas bills .

But if you’re like me you don’t want cheaper gas only to get a worse service.

Things like :

If you want to query anything there is no email or complaint procedure.

You have to phone to the other side of the world to speak to someone who you can hardly hear or understand.

Your made promises that just do not materialise.

My experience is in the UK so if you know anyone in the UK, just point them to this article.

They will be glad that you did.

First it is a good idea to switch if you never have done so before – or it’s been awhile.

It’s easy and simple.

Growing numbers of customers are switching suppliers for cheaper deals on their gas (which is good) but the risk is that the new supplier will raise prices, too. After a week or a month.

Many have been disappointed when in spite of changing they end up paying the same,

You cannot very easily tell which supplier is cheapest by doing a search online.

Sometimes the catch is in order to get the discounts, you have to agree to a lock-in clause. So when the cost of gas increases and you want to switch away from them in the future, you’re charged a fee.

Many people regret having moved to a cheaper deal only to find when it ends; they have been dumped on to expensive standard tariffs.

You might find the cheapest on the day you search, only for it to be the most expensive the day, week or month after you’ve switched to them.

Switching sites that allow you to compare energy suppliers are useful but sometimes they don’t offer a fair comparison.

For example they may not point you to the cheapest because that company doesn’t pay them commission.

Then around every three to six months the gas companies have a round of price changes and you find that your paying more than you did before you visited the switching site!

Also you don’t just want the cheapest price on the day but want good ongoing customer service.

You should choose a supplier that ranks highly in the many customer satisfaction surveys.

British Gas for example does poorly in these surveys and is not consistently cheapest. The press comments on British Gas range from people being hounded for years for wrongly worked out bills to messing up 45,000 direct debits.

Not much wonder they get the wooden spoon award, suffer fines and see record amounts of customers leaving them.

Sadly, many leave just to move to another big supplier because someone knocked on their door or they were stopped in the supermarket.In time lots of these people who have switched end up disastisfied by high prices and or poor service just like before.

In the UK the ‘Big Six’ suppliers – British Gas, Powergen, Npower, Scottish Power, EDF Energy, Scottish and Southern Energy dominate the market.

But newer smarter suppliers can often offer better deals.

For example the company I’m with offers a unique ‘Triple Value’ Guarantee.

Which is:

1) Always cheaper than British Gas.

2) Electric always cheaper than your regional electricity supplier.

3) Prices will always remain competitive compared with the cheapest standard rate available from the ‘Big 6’.

Every month they compare and if necessary adjust the prices down.That’s right down!

There is also no minimum contract term. So if I find them uncompetitive I can easily move to another supplier.

And so can you.

As for customer service they win awards and a recent survey found a whopping 94% of customers would recommend them to family and friends.

There are other benefits as well as saving on your gas bills. Just click the Link to find out more.

You’d br crazy not to switch … after all why pay more than you have too for a better service.

What you may not know is that grocery buying is the number 1 cause of disagreements within families and for good reason. The amount we spend on groceries is the greatest weekly expense outside a mortgage or paying of rent. Given the rebuilding period of the economy to become the global powerhouse once again, everyday American’s are now re-learning the notion of saving in the traditional sense. A re-learning that if expenditure exceeds income means that debt increases, possible bankruptcy and re-possession of the family home. Consequently it would be prudent for people to take notice of articles on how to save money especially when it comes to saving on groceries. I’ve compiled a short list of guidelines that may help guide you in saving significant amounts of money and hopefully providing some financial relief if you are currently suffering stressful times. Try one, a few or all in conjunction with each other and see how much you can save.

Seek out stores that will double or triple your coupons. I have become an believer of couponing and for great reason. This is where the power of couponing really gives great value. Combine a coupon with a sale when the store doubles or triples your coupon can bring you prices down to well under a dollar. You may have pre-conceptions that stores that double, and sometimes triple coupons, are stores to be avoided because their overall prices might be marked up. So it is advisable to find stores that are close and who compete with each other in order to get the best savings.

Don’t buy non-groceries at the grocery store. Most personal care items are less expensive at discount stores or chain pharmacies like Walgreens, CVS and RiteAid. Hardware, lightbulbs, extensions cords, office supplies, greeting cards and non essential items are usually all sold at the retail price because that is not what they focus on and therefore do not purchase in massive bulk to pass on those savings. However you will find exceptions to this rule. With double or triple coupons many cleaning supplies and personal care items can be purchased at fantastic prices at the grocery store.

Eat less meat. Consider eating less fresh meat with you family. Meat is expensive and not necessary to be eaten frequently. Set aside a day that you will not eat meat. I guarantee that your family will not notice. Make something simple and easy like a soup. This will save you a lot of time and money.

Take advantage of free samples offered by companies trying to win your business. With the tight rein on advertising budgets, businesses are forced to look to other ways to promote their products. Offering freebies has become the norm amongst many companies with big names like Walmart offering free stuff for consumers to trial.
Using the above advice, you will be guaranteed to save hundreds if not thousands per year. Have a go at a couple of tips and see how you go.

Is there really free stuff online?

Yes, you really can get all kinds of products for free. A lot of companies want you to visit their web page and try their products.

It is better for them to give you a free trial expecting that you will like it and become a repeat customer. Marketing today is very promising and giving away free samples is an easy way to contact customers.

Look at it this way: a 30-second television commercial during prime time on a major network costs around $500,000 for the spot and $250,000 or more to make. For that expenses, the company could send out 325,000 trials of a product that costs $2 to produce. Plus they have the supplementary benefit of connecting directly with the customer.

How do I protect myself from cheating?

Unfortunately, there’s always a chance that a company could renege or be running a wrong offer. The main goal of the company suggesting you to sign up to get their free of charge offer is to get your contact information. Once they get that, they will start sending you email or spam. To prevent that, you should NEVER USE your primary personal or work email address. Instead, sign up for a free email from GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo, or one of the many others.

Sometimes they require your phone number. If you provide it, some of these companies may call you. Most companies don’t need your phone number to mail you something. If the offer requires it, do at your own discretion. The exception is quiz shows, as they should contact you quickly if you win.

I’m at the Offer Page. Now What?

Once you entered the offer page, you’ll need to provide different personal and contact information. Usually this is your name, email address (make sure that you use your special free email), your mailing address (most will not take a P.O. box), and sometimes some other information like phone number, age, gender, etc. Some offers might ask you to complete a short survey of some kind; it will usually be a few questions about their products or services. Some websites require you to verify your email address before they will send you free stuff.

How Long does it take to get my Stuff?

The time of waiting varies. For a very popular offer, the company might be sending out thousands of free stuff and it could take some time. Sometimes it can take as long as 6 months before you’ll get your free sample. But there are many cases where the free stuff arrive the same week. It all depends.

I Ordered a freebie but it never came, or they charged my credit card, or I’m getting things I never ordered

You can try to contact the company that made the offer. However, if you signed up and didn’t pay anything, you might have to chalk it up to a bad offer and go on to the next.

I’m being asked for a credit card

Some free trials require you to indicate a credit card number, or maybe they have a shipping and handling fee. Make sure you read all the details and the cancellation policy of the offer before you sign up.

There’s plenty of free stuff to be got. When searching free stuff limit the amount of personal information you provide, and never use your personal, private email. Soon your mailbox will be stuffed with free stuff samples!

Resale rights products often contain affiliate links or links to other products that belong to the author or distributor and you won’t usually gain any income from sales generated by those links.

If you decide to sell your resale rights product to 40 – 50 people, it is advisable to peg your offer at one and one-half the amount of the basic package if it were to be sold without resale right.

With this number of consumers, it is not hard to resell products with resale rights and expect profitable results.

Create a premium resale rights package. From premium or high value master resale rights products, create a premium resale rights products package to sell.

Resale Rights act as low hanging fruit with maximum commission. If you’ve spent anything more than 5 minutes in the internet marketing world, you will most probably come across something called ‘Resale Rights’ / or often called Reprint Rights.

The most common types of resale rights are: Basic Resale Right – the customer of the product can resell the product without alterations, Master Resale Right – the purchaser can sell the resale right of the product, Master Private Label Resale Rights – you can offer the source code with private label resale rights, Private Label Rights – the purchaser has the right to alter the product and even claim authorship after making substantial changes.

What makes the Resale Right Products so Attractive? Private Label Rights is just one of the three “basic rights” that are embodied in the concept of resale rights marketing.

If you are good at producing great sales, copy the letters that come with many resale rights and private label rights products are still good to have because they give you a base to work from when writing your own letters. Select master resale rights products or private label products that relate to your website’s niche and that can be packaged with other products and given away for free.
