Summer Savings
Confronted with the credit crunch, it could be that some of the luxuries usually associated with summertime have had to be sacrificed this year. It might be that you’ve downgraded your summer holiday, or even cancelled it altogether in order to hold on to your savings if the financial recession has had an impact on you. However, there are still plenty of ways to cut the cost on those summer treats without missing out entirely, so here’s a quick look at some of the summer savings you could make this year:
Instead of heading to your favourite beauty parlour and ordering a full spray tan, why not try the slow build up moisturising self tanners at home? Pick a well known brand and start to apply every day a couple of weeks before you want to benefit from the full effect of your new tan. There are several perks to self tanning this way. Firstly, it looks much more natural to your friends and colleagues, who will probably assume that you are simply tanning naturally in the fine weather. Secondly, your skin will be silky soft, and thirdly – you’ll save a packet.
Waxing – another expensive summer necessity. You could consider investing in an epilater – a one off expenditure that will allow you to remove hair from the root for years to come, all in the comfort of your own home. Most epilators are still cheaper than a full leg wax anyhow, so shop around and see how much you think you could save.
When it comes to the holidays themselves, why not take a look at moneysavingexpert.com – a fantastic, independent financial advice website helping you to make savings on all kinds of things, including your summer holidays. From flights to hotels to great restaurants in your chosen destination, you could get a holiday for much less than you’d previously imagined.
If you’re worried about keeping in touch with your friends and family whilst you’re away, and you don’t want to arrive home to a heart-attack inducing phone bill, then log on to their online shop and check out Vodafone’s latest mobile phone deals. Their summer promotions have abolished all roaming charges, allowing you to call and text for the same price you could expect to pay at home.
In spite of the credit crunch, summer 2009 will certainly be one to remember.
