How to Select Decoration Materials

Money Saving 101

engineered wood flooringSummary: In the former two money saving articles, I mentioned about the importance of cost sheet and how to save money in house decoration generally. And now I'd like to tell you something about saving money by selecting decoration materials.

As we all know, the cost of house decoration is consisted of material cost, labor and object cost. Among these three main costs, the easiest way for you to save money is on material cost. If you know how to select the most suitable material, great amount of money you will save.

1. Before purchasing, know the price of the materials you want to buy
It occurs that the same product has different price in different markets and what you should do is to know the exact price of the product and find the cheapest one.

2. Group - buying
Group - buying is no doubt the best way for you to get a lower price of a product. Where can you group-buying information? Go to the forum and ask people there.

3. Kitchen equipment
If you seldom cook at home, don't buy many cooking utensils. Also, it's totally unnecessary for you to buy expensive cupboards. If you cook almost every day at home, choose some brand that has practical products. Durable products are what you need.

4. Choose engineered wood flooring
Flooring cost is the biggest part in decoration material. For people who are in fond of wood flooring, I recommend that you give up the idea as the price is quite high. At the same time, it's not an easy job to maintain the good condition of wood flooring. The engineered wood flooring is much cheaper and easy to maintain. Also, engineered wood flooring does not crack eaaily.

5. Choose cheap cleaners and polishes
A truth is for most cleaners and polishes, there are almost no quality difference among the expensive one and cheap one. Indeed, the outlook of the expensive cleaners and polishes may be better than that of the cheap one. But in order to save money, consider the cheap one.

6. Cheap brand paint
For paint, you may worry about the safety of it and that why I recommend you to buy brand paint. There are usually many series of products under on brand, and you'd better choose an ordinary series product with lower price.

7. Faucet selecting
Choose cheap brand faucet for your house. For product that for functional use, the practicability of the product is more important than the aesthetic property of which. Just as I mentioned in cleaners and polishes part, choose the cheap one.

Summary: For house decoration, there are many ways to save your money if you know how - find good designer and constructional force as well as decoration materials.

If you are not a well-off people who can give out the money on buying a house for one time, how to save money on house decoration is must what you desire to know. For most of the people, the house loan is a heavy burden they should bear. Thus I recommend the house decoration tips for you to save your money.

1. Pick up good house designer who knows how to control the decoration cost
Tell the designer the fact that you want to save money during house decorating and ask for suggestions. Usually in such circumstance, the designer will tell you to use some cheap and practical materials in some objects and give you advices on how to select materials. He will tell you the pros and cons of one kind of material and thus it helps you to avoid possibly unnecessary cost on buying improper materials. Also, a good designer will not strongly recommend you to buy materials that are expensive.

2. Pick up good constructional force
Not to pick up constructional force who have no professional certification or who comes from a new company. Good constructional force ensures the quality of house decoration and thus you should pay less on house repair in the future. As to a new opened constructional company, due to its immature, there may be many mistakes occur during the house decoration. It seems that you cost a lot in finding a professional constructional force currently. However, the fact you'll cost more than that if you ask someone who does poor house decoration jobs as you will pay for the rework.

3. The most expensive one is not always the best one
A strategic thinking most of the people hold is that they think that more expensive a product is, better quality it has. However, the fact is some cheaper materials have excellent quality as well. As I mentioned in tip 1, ask designer for advices on choosing which decoration materials. Also, you can visit the house decoration forum and ask people there. Compare different kinds of materials on its price, practicability and environmentai and select the most suitable one for your house.

4. It's unnecessary to tilling the whole kitchen
The cost on tiles is also a huge amount of money in house decoration. When tilling the kitchen, you can choose some cheap tiles for the back and beneath part of the cabinets. Or you can have not tiles at the back part at all as no people will see it.

5. No background wall is also a good ideal
It used a fashion for people to have a background wall. However, in current time, people pay more attention on house ornamentals while not the costly background wall which is easy to get out-of-dated. You can hang family pictures, self- made picture or even cloth as background wall. Another bonus for doing that is you can change the pictures as you like.

6. Consider no cabinet doors
For cabinets that used for placing books or ornamentals, you can consider for no cabinet doors. At one hand, cabinet doors cost a lot; at the other hand, no cabinet doors help you to show the beauty of your ornamentals. But one precondition is that you should make sure that all books or ornamentals are in good order.

Save Money in Purchasing Digital Products

Money Saving 101

Summary: it's never an easy job to select an ideal digital produce, no saying on saving money on it. However, here are six tips for your money saving on digital products. Despite of the basic knowledge on the product, you should pay close attention on the online information as well.

Even the most out-of-dated people have at least one piece of the digital product. Thus, how to save money in purchasing digital products becomes an unavoidable topic.

1. Make certain on which product meet your need
A common fault for American is that they believe the more the better and the bigger the better. However, does it really necessary for you - an amateur shutterbug to buy a professional camera? Take cell phone for another example, various kinds of cell phone are on market. If you only use cell phone to make phone calls, buy a lower-end cell phone rather than smart one.

2. Have basic knowledge on the digital product you want to buy
This is quite essential as sometimes the seller will talk to you with many professional terms and try to persuade you to purchase a "better" one - means the more expensive one. Never believe what the seller tells you. If you want to know a product, ask people who use it.

3. Stop keeping up with your neighbors'
What I want to tell you is that is such behavior is quite immature and stupid. Everyone has his own life style: some enjoy luxurious life, some like frugal living. No one has a right to make judgment that which life is better than another. Live your life and let people talk the talk.

4. Find bargain
If a piece of digital product is in need, then find sale or coupon online. Take Apple as an example, it usually gives a favorable price for its product in summer and if you want to purchase an Apple product, buy it at that time. To find a bargain, you should take a close eye on the inline information so that you won't miss it.

5. Try second-hand product
It's a common sense that the new issued or first hand product is more expensive than second-hand product. Try purchasing second-hand product and save a great sum of money. Take a look at the online or real used products dealership. And if a target item is sold in more than one shop, compare the price and buy the right one.

6. Search for people who want to purchase the same item
A big order usually enjoys a more favorable price than the original one. So if you want to purchase an item and can't find any sale or coupon information, try to post an invitation in a shopping or digital forum. Then cut the price with the product provider.

10 Thoughts You Should Dismiss in Buying Computer

Money Saving 101

All most all of my friends have computers of their own. Knowing how to use computer can be account as a skill in the society. However, not all of the people know how to purchase a suitable computer. To save the money when buying computer, we should dismiss the following thoughts.

1. Buy a expensive computer so it can be used for a longer time
Usually, the useful time for a laptop is about five years, which means the hardware may out of date or scrapped after 5 years. Thus, a sensible behavior is not to buy an expensive laptop with high hardware configuration. You should aware that laptop is just a consumable.

2. Must have a independent display card laptop
If your work requires that your computer should have an independent display card, then buy then. However, to most of the ordinary people, even you require 3D when playing games, integrated display card is enough.

3. I can use my laptop as DVD burner
A suggestion I'd like to give here is that you should avoid using your CD driver as DVD burner. It's a common sense that the CD driver of a laptop is usually quite frangible and with short life time. If you have to use the burning service, why not buy an external connected DVD burner.

4. Pursue the high configuration of one hardware while not the whole laptop
I once saw buyers who only care about the independent display card or CPU. They think that only if the CPU is good, the computer is good as well. However, the fact is some computers have a excellent CPU or display card as well as other hardware with low configuration.

5. Consider only the brand or appearance
This usually happen to girls. As they know little about how to select a suitable computer, they judge a computer by their brands or appearance. Exactly, a big brand has good computers. However, if you do so, you may spend more than you expected.

6. The smaller, the better
Considering the portability, many people think that the smaller the better. However, the smaller a laptop is, the worse it does in heat radiating and hardware compatible. Also, the battery can be used for a much shorter time. It recommend that you to select a laptop with no less than 12 inches.

7. Blind asking for a lower price
I quite understand that we want to buy a laptop with a low price. However, every piece of product has a dead line of its price. For example, to a laptop of US$599, you ask the keeper to sell it at US$399. What will happen next? Make certain about the usual price of one laptop, so you know how to ask for a lower price.

Civilization of the world brings us tremendous benefits and convenience. However, at the same time, it cost us more than before. To spend less as well as become healthier, you should develop good living habits.

Believe me, the same words sent in messages and wrote on letter, express totally different meanings.

4. Borrow books from library and read magazine online
By doing that, despite of saving money, you urge yourself to finish reading a book in a certain time. You can also read magazine in library or online while not buy them.

5. Say no to smoking and drinking
I think there is no need for me to list the disadvantages of these two habits. No one will deny that these two belong to the most annoying and worst habits, especially smoking. It neither does good to the smoker or drinker itself nor to people around him/her.

6. Don't be a clubman
I really don't see any value of a club except for chasing after pretty woman. A clubman should wear well and buy drinks for girls. And usually, a clubman is single, which means his personal living cost is higher than people are not single. That's why the divorce rate declines when the crisis come.


The aforementioned tips may not help you to save much money. However, it helps you to form good living habits and attitude. What's more, after doing that, less desires will you have and that saves your money.

weddingretweetSummary: none of a people would deny that they want a perfect wedding ceremony. Usually, people hold an opinion that a good wedding equals to a consumptive wedding. However, the fact is you can have a frugal wedding of excellent quality as well.

Wedding is one of the most essential things in a girl's life. A regretful wedding not only ruins the pleasure of wedding but also becomes the complaint that your wife has for her whole life. Having a frugal while also high quality weeding is in fact a simple thing.

1. Save your money on wedding invitation cards
It's a routine for people to send invitation cards to guests. However, it's inconvenience as you have to wait for a reply. Why not try online cards or ask them on phone or face to face? You get immediate reply and save the money. But remind this, for people who hold a traditional idea or someone who get used to a formal invitation, send invitation cards.

2. Diminish the number of people who attend your wedding
I quite understand that you want to share the happiness of your wedding with all people you know. However, the more people you invite, the more money you cost. So try only inviting your close friends, relatives, and some of your colleges and hold a small-scaled wedding. What's more, with people that you know well around, you feel less pressure and nervous.

3. Find your ideal wedding dress on sale or in online shop
For a dress that you only wear for a few hours in a day, I think it's totally unnecessary to buy such an expensive one. Exactly, I understand that the importance of a wedding. However, for a wedding dress of almost the same quality, the price online/on sale is much lower than the original price. Take a eye on the discount information of the wedding dress shop or take a look at the online shop so you will not miss any favorable news about it.

4. Find bargain food, drink, or do it yourself
People enjoy the happy environment of a wedding and pay less attention to the quality of the wedding food and drinks. Do dishes that you can by yourself or ask your friends for help. For dishes that you can't do, ask the provider to offer cheap food and drinks.

5. Choose the right day to hold your wedding ceremony
If you hold your wedding ceremony at church, then you should not miss this tip. Choose a slack wedding season to hold the ceremony, like January, February, July and August. In such season, you can book a church earlier and in a lower price. Or you can hold it before an activity of the church. Usually, at that time, the church has already been decorated and thus you should pay little on the decoration.

6. Ask talent friends for help
If there are any friends of yours who are good at give a performance, ask them for help. Think of this, on your wedding, your friends give their best wishes to you by singing a lovely song to you, isn't it much better and warmer than the song sung by a band? It saves your money and becomes the ever last memory in your mind.

Christian Louboutin Online Shop

Christian LouboutinRemember Jane, that fashion girlfriend of mine? Guess what? She bought a pair of Christian Louboutin in a low price in online shop. Her pair is Christian Louboutin Trottinette Ankle Boots Black and it's really good and suitable for her.

The heels of 5.5 inches high give people a false impression that Jane is a tall girl with elegant figure. Though the pair she bought is of conservative style comparing to other shoes sold on the shop, it is still quite attracting due to the symbolic red sole.




Before Jane bought her Christian Louboutin in online shop, I had never worn any high heeled shoes or even thought to have a try. I like flats as they are comfortable to wear and can match with my jeans randomly. When I go to a party, I wore low heeled shoes which have heels in about only 2 inches. However, when I saw the Christian Louboutin of Jane's, I thought that maybe it's time to make a little change.

A little change may be means a big surprise!

Save Your Money in Super Market

Money Saving 101

Super market is one of the places that we go quite a lot in our daily life. Has this once occur to you that you overspend when you go back from supermarket and sadly you realize it's hard to control yourself when you are in super market. Here are advices for you.

1. Shopping list is a must have
I mentioned shopping list many time in my former money saving articles and I'd like to emphasis it one more time. List things that you need in a paper and estimate the number that how much will these things cost. The function of shopping list is to remind you to focus on things that you need.

2. Bring money that you need for paying the things on the shopping list and bring no card
This is the most effective way for you to resist the desire of spending more. You find the chocolate is on sale and want buy some? Well, it's not on the shopping list and you have no extra money. This is how the tip works.

3. Be careful of the big poster
The only aim of the poster is to attract your attention and persuade you to buy the product. Indeed, the products are in a favorable price, and if it coincidently is in your shopping list, buy it with no hesitation as it's a bargain. However, if not, pay no attention to it and buy things you need.

4. Know how that price works
You think that buy things in one market are to your profit as the necessaries in it are in low price. The fact is as most of the people know the price of the necessaries, thus low price on these items may mislead you that all of the things in this market are cheap. What you should do is to know the price of the things you need and judge whether you should buy it in this market.

5. Use basket while not trolley
More items you put into the basket, heavier it is. The heavy basket reminds you that you have already by many things. However, trolley is much bigger and more convenience than a basket, so unconsciously, you buy more things than you expect.

6. Take no child
I understand that supermarket is an excellent place for you to spend your family time. At the same time, you know exactly that what the function of the toy shelves and candy shelves are. Even you tell the kids not to take anything; they usually will take one or two packages of candies in the shopping basket.

7. Reduce the frequency for shopping in supermarket
If you know it's hard for you to resist the desire of shopping in super market, do as what I tell you. Less you go supermarket, less you spend.

8. Product on the upper or lower position of a shelf may cheaper
Products that you can easily see or get are ones that can bring more profits to the supermarket than products that on the upper or lower position of a shelf. People usually focus on things in the middle part of a shelf and according to this; supermarket usually put the more experience things here.

9. Buy products on the supermarket brand
Most of the supermarkets provide products that on their own brand. Commonly, the price of these products is much cheaper than the like products.
