Shopaholic? Me?

I found this great website which lists events all around the UK. They have something for everyone. They cover all listings to do with Events UK oriented:-

• Theatre
• Sport

All you have to do is plan your family’s day out, send them off while you go shop shop shop!

Although I have not yet reviewed this site, I just heard that VR Hosted has recently become Net Actuate. I thought I should highlight this as I will review it under it’s new name Net Actuate and if you search under the old name of VR Hosted, you might miss the review.

If you are already familiar with VR Hosted /Net Actuate, then you might also be interested in knowing that they have announced several new pricing plans.

Congratulations on your new name Net Actuate.

If you like your magazines and want to subscribe regularly, I found a great website offering discounted magazine subscriptions. You can get up to 80% discount on subscription rates. The biggest drawback there is, is that it is only open to residents of the USA and Canada. Sorry everyone else…. I will search for other places though.

They have a whole range of magazine covering everything from Parenting to Marketing, from Pet to Finance, from Children’s Magazines to Fashion and even from Religious to Puzzle Magazines! Besides the wide range of subjects, which frankly you get hard pressed to find in most newsagents, the magazines include a wide range of popular magazines. You will find amongst the many Cosmopolitan, Elle, Men’s Health, American History, Photo, Time, Newsweek, Harpers, Money, Playboy, Hustler, National Geographic and many many more!

Magazine Subscriptions

Dimout.com sell a really wide range of lingerie. They do a whole range of sexy and stunning lingerie. With a range like this there is absolutely no reason to feel unsexy. They even do a plus size range, so just because you may be slightly larger than average, no longer means you need to dress up like grandma in the underwear section.

And guys…. lingerie is not just for Valentine’s. It is a perfect gift for Mothering Sunday too. Make a Mum feel special! Not your mum silly (mind you embarrassment aside she might actually appreciate it!), I was talking of your kids mum!

Now for the important information. They do ship anywhere and max shipping time is 5 days. Shipping costs are per order regardless of the size and are as follows:-

I have decided to also review Loyalty Schemes here at Shopaholic?ME? as they play a crucial part to shopping. Using a loyalty scheme can enhance pricing. With loyalty schemes you sometimes also receive discounts and vouchers or even money back. It sometimes even makes you look twice at something you would have not otherwise considered.  

And, so here is to a whole new section….

Meanwhile, do let me know of your favourite loyalty schemes and the worst! I will be happy to add your comments.

You have your Ipod, you have down loaded music and listened to it. Now what? Is there anything else you can use an Ipod for? Yes… You can Podcast.

What is podcasting? It is like a radio show covering any subject except they are recorded in chunks of up to an hour. You can download them to your computer and Ipod and listen to them at your convenience. You can also do your own.

MyPodCast.com is offering you Free Podcast or two or more…. well as many as you want. Now to make use of that Ipod and use it as an excuse to buy all the latest accessories!

I received my Tesco club card deal tokens today. They always make me smile. It has been a long while coming, but I have saved enough for a holiday. This means I can spend my holiday allowance to shop shop shop. Makes me a happy shopaholic. Anyway, the reason that I saved so many points is that I keep using up extra points whenever and wherever I can lay my hands on them. Obviously, when I find them, I will post them here for you. So keep checking my website regularly for extra points & discount coupons.

Keep in mind that each point is worth a penny. But if you save it for a deal, its worth 4 times as much. Hence my getting a fantastic holiday. Now to book it….

Hotel Reservations are a must before you travel. It guarantees a place to stay, especially if you land at an awkward time of day. Plus, you definitely do not want to find yourself stranded somewhere without accommodation. I found this website where you can book your hotel which has some great customisations.

First of all you can chose the site according to where you are based eg Great Britain, Canada, USA etc. Then you can also chose a language option of how you wish to view the site. Obviously they do English too! Once you have made your selection it will offer you your prices in the currency of the country you selected. Great. Means you won’t get confused on exchange rates or prices.

They also offer up to 70% off standard prices. Honestly, I did not confirm the 70% but they do have substantial discounts on all hotel prices. I found hotel prices as low as £15.11 per night in Malta & £12.60 per night in Bangkok. They have some really fab and upmarket hotels in their lists. They also have some renowned hotels like Radisson, Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton, The Peninsula, Grand Hotel Mercure, and Le Meridien.

They do not just do hotel reservations. You can also book a car, a flight or a package deal as well as just your hotel accommodation.

To top it off they offer an internet guarantee on having the lowest prices. If you contact them within 24 hours of making your reservation with your lower price, they will match it for you or let you cancel your order with them. It means that if you find a cheaper price you definitely won’t lose out. It makes sense to book first and guarantee your booking and search for cheaper prices. It won’t matter if you find cheaper because they will match it and if you don’t you know that you are booked and have your reservations sorted. After all, what have you got to lose?
