TIP 8: Buying bulk and in advance
Monday, June 6th, 2011
Here is an example of bulk savings. Lets say you use 1 bar of soap that costs $1 each month. Lets say it is on sale for $.90 so you go out and pay $21.60 for 24 bars saving $2.40. Good going?
Well let’s say you could make 5% interest on that same $21.60 per year. You can see how buying so much soap may not be saving you as much as you thought. Bottom line is you need to think about buying bulk, as doing so ties up your funds. There is a point where buying in bulk is actually more expensive.
Imagine you buy 10 years worth of soap and spend $216.50 for 240 bars. The interest you could earn would be better for you financially than all that soap!
There is an optimum bulk purchase. This means if you buy an optimum amount you will save money over the long run. If you buy too much you will lose. Each case needs its own calculation so you need to do the math. It’s pretty simple. If you buy bulk determine how much you are saving over the life of your inventory. Then deduct the amount you would have made if you had invested the same amount of money in the bank.
All the best,
Andrew Martin

Jeans for Genes
Friday, February 26th, 2010
I love my jeans! Joe’s Jeans and Seven for all Mankind are my favorites. These brands are expensive, but I love the fit, and I’m not above scouring discount stores and consignment shops to find them at a good deal. When I find a pair at a discount, I snatch them up and feel like it’s Christmas!
Recently, I’ve developed a whole new appreciation for my jeans – and for my genes.
In the US alone, through no fault of their own, more than 30 million Americans suffer from rare diseases with often unpronounceable names, including Ataxia Telangiectasia, Qazi Markouizos Syndrome and Faciocardiomelic Dysplasia. More than 22 million of those inflicted in American are infants and children; the number of people afflicted by rare diseases is dramatically increasing in our country. The physical and emotional challenges they face are often compounded by the isolation and confusion that stems from too little information about their conditions and what resources may be available to them. Some of these diseases have been brought to public attention through the efforts of celebrities like Julia Roberts, who advocates for research and solutions for Rhett Syndrome, and Tom Hanks, who acts as spokesman for Neuroblastoma, a rare cancerous tumor that affects the nervous system of children and infants. But while their efforts certainly do help, it is difficult to generate the medical and financial attention needed to productively address rare diseases on a national scale when such a small number of people are afflicted by each individual disease.
Several noble non-profits are working to change this by creating national umbrella organizations that offer funding, community and awareness for individuals and families suffering from rare diseases. By joining forces and encouraging non-profits working in the rare disease space to collaborate, they are becoming much more effective in increasing awareness and the effecting the large-scale fundraising needed to create real change in the medical field. New websites are springing up, providing a central location where families can find community and learn about the resources available to help them cope and help ease suffering.
This is Global Rare Disease week. Visit the Children’s Rare Disease Network’s website to learn more about the diseases that now afflict 10% of the US population. And wear your favorite jeans to show your support on Sunday, February 28th, 2010, Global Rare Disease Day. Visit CRDN’s Global Genes Project website to learn more.
You can also help by donating your used video games and game systems to Donate Games. One hundred percent of revenues raised are donated to help support research and families suffering from the more 7,000 rare diseases.
And of course, every time you save money with CommonKindness by using our online coupons and discount codes you can help support these and other great non-profit organizations!
