How to Order ACE at Wholesale Prices

May 16, 2013 by admin

I talk a lot online and in person about how ACE has completely changed my life. ACE is an appetite control and energy supplement that gives me energy throughout the day, but has enough of an appetite suppressant to keep me from munching on goodies at my desk for the entire 8 hours that I’m at work!

As an ACE distributor with SABA, my prices are set by the company. I can offer promotions on shipping, etc., but I can not discount the price of product. Most home-business are products are this way, so it’s completely understandable. But where SABA is different is their Preferred Customer program. It allows ANYONE (yes, that’s you) to buy ACE or any SABA product at wholesale price without signing up to be a distributor. (Don’t you wish all companies did this?)

What’s the catch?

There isn’t one. Seriously.

The first month, you will receive what’s called a Starter Kit. It contains (1) 60 count bottle of ACE and (7) 2-packs of ACE. These packs are great to keep in your purse if you forget to take your capsules. If you travel, they are awesome to keep in your overnight bag or suitcase. The cost for the FIRST MONTH is $59 + tax/shipping. (Not all states charge tax.) Shipping is $8.25.

Basically, you are getting 74 capsules for $67.25 (if you are in a tax free state). That’s just $3.25 more than if you ordered direct from me and you are getting an additional weeks supply. It’s a great deal!

*Looking at some past invoices, it appears that tax ranges from 59-cents to $4 depending upon your state! 

Now, from there, you will set up your monthly autoship. This can be cancelled anytime. No fees. No contracts. No questions. Anytime. It really is that easy.

There are 2 options for autoship:

a. $40 + tax/shipping = 1 bottle of ACE/month.

b. $50 + tax/shipping = 1 bottle of ACE + (7) 2 pks/month.

The best part is that the company ships straight to your door on a day that you choose. (You can change the day at will — no problem!) No middle man in the shipping process, but you still have a distributor (the one you signed with) that is available to answer your questions!

You can become a Preferred Customer today! Use the “Order Now” section of my site.

If you aren’t interested in becoming a preferred customer just yet, you can still order product in a 30 quantity or a full bottle on this site – just go to the “About Me” section!

Save Cash on Your Electric Bill

May 15, 2013 by admin

One of the highest bills that we have in the summer is our electric bill. Who wants to sit inside and sweat, so sometimes the best thing to do is bare with it and drop the AC a degree. But, are there things you can do to cut the costs:

1. A programmable thermostat is a great investment. Set the temperature in your home a few degrees higher when you are gone during the day. Here’s a great list of highly-rated programmable thermostat.

2. Change the filters in your air vents. Since these are sold at grocery and big box stores – they do go on sale from time to time. Keep the sizes written in your wallet, so you know what to buy and how many. If you need a YouTube tutorial on how to change the filters, here’s a good one!

3. If you live in a state where utilities are de-regulated (such as Texas), spring is a good time to check and see what you are paying. Negotiate a new rate with your current company (you can negotiate rates, you know!) or change companies if you find a great deal.

4. A great tip from Joey Weatherproof your doors and windows. If you can see or feel the outside air, you are in trouble! Here’s a few tips from the DIY network.

Buy Fresh or Not?

May 1, 2013 by admin

I’m often asked – this time of year – about the value of buying at a Farmer’s Market … or rather, is there any value in buying at a Farmer’s Market?

The answer is definitely “yes”.

When you are at a Farmer’s Market or dealing directly with the vendor/grower, you have a bargaining power that doesn’t exist at the grocery store. Never would I approach the service desk at Kroger and haggle over the price of a quart of strawberries! However, growers at the market are ready to wheel and deal. Take advantage of that … especially if you are buying big quantities of an item. The more you buy, the more power you have to negotiate.

Also take note when you arrive of how many vendors are offering the same fruits/vegetables. The more competition there is, the more options you have, too!

… remember, there’s no cents in paying full price!

Best Deals for May

Apr 24, 2013 by admin

May is a good time to set up house! If you have a graduate on your gift list or a bride/groom that will be walking the aisle in June, you are in luck! Housewares galore will be marked down next month!

Kitchen items such as toasters, blenders, cookware and the like will begin price cuts in May. Look for accompanying coupons from vendors like Kohl’s and Bed, Bath and Beyond. You can save – usually – up to 20% more at selected times.

Refrigerators will also see a cost drop. The ticket price on a fridge is eye opening these days. I looked in Sears at a pretty average model this weekend and it was approaching $3,000. Yikes! Take every opportunity to save when you can in this area. Don’t forget to bargin with the sales rep – you have an easier time doing this if you pay with cash! (Most businesses lose 2-3% when they have to pay the debit/credit card fee.)

And, if you are in the market for a camera – look in May! New models of cameras are coming, so  you can get a deal on last year’s best seller. (I just need a camera that takes a clear picture – who cares what year it is!) If, by chance, you are up on photography and need a 2013 model – wait until Black Friday!

… remember, there’s no cents in paying full price!

Rewards for Non-Profits

Apr 17, 2013 by admin

One of the easiest ways to save money and to give back to schools is with reward programs. Two that are common in our area are the Box Tops and Labels for Education programs.

I put in my zip code into Box Tops site and 18 options came up for where I could send my points! It’s a fabulous way to help schools earn money for books, technology, and basics in a time when funding is being cut in a drastic way. Box Tops also has a tap at the top where you can print coupons for items that offer points! You can’t go wrong there.

Labels for Education, aside from schools, also includes local YMCAs and youth assistance programs! Although Labels for Education doesn’t offer coupons, they do have bonus opportunities to help earn more points.

These are great programs for products that you are most likely already buying. Why not save a little and give a lot!

… and remember, there’s no cents in paying full price — so couple a Box Tops or Labels for Education product with a coupon to treat your self to savings and a school/organization with cash!

Best Day to Shop?

Apr 3, 2013 by admin

One of the questions that people ask me about couponing and stores is “what is the best day to shop?”

My answer is “know your store”. Although I do frequent the same grocery store each week without fail, and a few others as sales dictate – I met and introduced myself to the manager at my “main store”. We actually met by accident the first time I ever asked for a raincheck at the customer service counter.

I happened to have a cart full of ground beef in my buggy that day. We talked about the ins and outs of freezing, buying in bulk, and the like. I found out through him that meat that hasn’t sold and has 1-2 days of life left is marked down on Friday evening. He also told me that bread, cakes, pastries, etc., are marked down to clear out on Saturday mornings. (From what I understand, it’s at the discretion of the store manager what day these things occur.)

A new store just opened in my neighborhood called Sprouts. I’m so excited because they offer “double ad Wednesday”. In plain English, that means that every Wednesday – they will honor their ad from the previous week as well as the ad that debuts that day. So, for me, that is hands down the best day to shop!

So, learn your individual stores. I wish there was a great and easy answer, but I don’t think that there is! Look for specials like “double ad Wednesday” or promotions that are specific to the store and etch those in your brain and your binder!

 … and remember, there’s no cents in paying full price!
