It seems there is now a bail-out fund for the eurozone, and countries are being told not to borrow more than they can pay back. Fancy that! I'm not an economist, but I do know that there isn't a bail-out fund for you and me, so time to start saving.
Sorry to mention the C-word, but Christmas is only 2 months away, and that means buying presents. Though we at seekandsave will be recommending items you can make easily and cheaply, or buy at boot sales etc, you will undoubtedly want to buy some new items.
If you haven’t already discovered it, why not try ACHICA? It’s a members-only online boutique. I saw an ad on ch4 last night, but 1st saw it in last saturday's Guardian. It’s free to join and you can buy leading brands such as Christy, Joseph Joseph, Tommy Hilfiger, Anglepoise Lighting, Janod wooden toys, up to 70% off RRP, during the 2-3 day ‘shopping events’. Visit www.ACHICA.com/guardian and enter ‘CHIP1’ to save £10 if you spend £50 or more before 1/12/11 (terms and conditions on the website). You’ll get daily emails notifying you of the new sales events, but you need only click on the ones that interest you. Obviously you can unsubscribe if you decide you’ve had enough. Worth a try. Happy shopping

Welcome, welcome, welcome!
They seek it here,
they seek it there,
those people seek it everywhere.
Is it in the sky or down in a cave?
That darned elusive way to save.
We hope Baroness Orczy wouldn’t mind us revising/recycling her famous lines from The Scarlet Pimpernel. At Seek And Save we like to recycle, but we also like to SAVE, and hope you do too. Much better than waste.
Whatever you want to save – MONEY – TIME – THE PLANET - we hope to gather some top tips which will just be a click away. Whether you’re on your own or part of a big family; student or pensioner; single parent or couple with house full of children; newly redundant or long-term unemployed; eco sceptic or eco warrior; over-worked or underpaid.
At the moment MONEY is a saving priority, so we’ll try and focus on that, but sometimes saving money can also save time and/or the planet.
The tips you’ll find on our website www.seekandsave.co.uk are suggestions that have worked for us, or been recommended to us, or we’ve read about them. We can’t guarantee they’ll work for you, but it might be fun trying some of them.
Happy saving
