Consumers' Budgets are Bigger but National Survey shows Saving is Chic all Year and Shoppers are turning to Consignment Events and Second Hand Stores for Bargains.

The economy is recovering, but a new survey shows families are still shopping for deals and remain as bargain conscious as ever. Saving a few dollars is chic and shopping at second-hand stores is cool Tips: Find Street Fashion Online(may be you can find what you want on the oasap.com) , the research shows.

While families can afford to buy more gifts this year, 99.6-percent say they're still shopping at consignment events and resale shops, according to a survey by Just Between Friends, the nation's leading children and maternity consignment event. Twenty percent of Americans say they shop at consignment and resale shops more than ten times a year.

"Even if you can afford to pay more, why would you? At JBF consignment events, you can buy the same thing you'd find in department stores for 50 to 90-percent off," explained Shannon Wilburn, President and CEO of Just Between Friends Franchise Systems, Inc. "I think the recession showed people they don't need to pay a lot for quality clothes and other items for their kids and for new and expectant moms. Your dollar goes a long way at a consignment event."

The survey also shows that most people have permanently changed their spending habits. More than half of the respondents say they started pinching pennies after the recession began in 2008. While they are earning more today, they still want discounts year-round.

"People don't have to wait for something to go on sale, for a weekend-day special or shop at midnight to save at JBF," Wilburn said. "They know at every single consignment event, they get great bargains on kids gear and clothing. No coupons needed. Even better, most of the money goes back into the pockets of the families who consign at JBF," Wilburn said.

A leading retail analyst says this holiday season shoppers remain zealous for a deal.
"We are still addicted to heavy promotions," Darren Duber-Smith, Metro State marketing professor, told the Denver Post on November 23rd. "This trend started with the recession and never let up."

Just Between Friends surveyed more than 5,000 people. The average respondent is between 30 and 39 years old and more than half earn between $50,000 and $100,000 a year. JBF has 124 franchises in 24 states. Each hosts a big community consignment event twice annually, reaching more than 400,000 families nationwide.

Halifax research reports Men v Women - The economic and financial divide

Halifax has examined the behaviour and experiences of men and women in the labour market and in key areas of personal finance such as spending, savings, pensions and housing.

The key findings are:

•     Men continue to be paid more but the gap has narrowed over the past decade Women are less inclined than men to think that they are currently living comfortably with a bigger proportion of women also reporting that money is tight
•     Women are more likely to have an ISA but are less likely to have share related investments
•     Women have higher savings balances
•     Male pensioners are better off and men are making better provision for retirement Women are more likely to be homeowners and are less likely to be renting in the private sector
•     Men are more optimistic about house price prospects Women are more pessimistic about becoming homeowners

Martin Ellis, economist at Halifax, said:
"Whilst the economic and financial differences between men and women have narrowed in recent years, significant variations persist. Some of these, such as higher homeownership amongst women, can partly be explained by demographic factors such as the greater number of older women compared with men.

"Women are more cautious regarding equity-related investments and are making less
provision for retirement. They are also more pessimistic than men regarding both short-term
house price prospects and the likelihood of ever becoming homeowners."

PAY AND JOBS
Pay: Men continue to be paid more but the gap has narrowed over the past decade
Men in full-time employment continue to be paid significantly more than women in full-time employment. In 2011, average male earnings were ?36,511; 35% higher than average female earnings of ?27,006.

The gap, however, has narrowed over the past decade as women's earnings have risen faster than men's. Women's earnings have increased by 43%, on average, in the last ten years compared with a 36% rise for men, reducing the premium for male earnings from 42% in 2001 (?26,841 against ?18,847).

Employment trends: Substantial differences between men and women exist
There remain substantial differences between men and women in terms of their participation in the labour market:

•     Women are less likely to be in employment than men - 54% against 64%.
•     Men are more likely to be in full-time employment than women - 57% against 33%. Women are three times more likely than men to be in part-time employment (21% v 7%).
•     Men are twice as likely to be self-employed than women (10% against 5%).

Both men and women have been badly affected during the current economic downturn, but unemployment has affected women particularly badly. The number of women claiming unemployment benefits has more than trebled over the past five years, rising by 212%, compared with a 163% increase in the number of men on the unemployment claimant count.

SPENDING BEHAVIOUR
Women, generally, are less inclined than men to think that are currently living comfortably (15% against 20%) with a b Tips: Find Street Fashion Online(may be you can find what you want on the oasap.com) igger proportion of women also reporting that money is tight (44% compared with 38%).

Women (14%) are more inclined to say that they are spending a lot more than a year ago on household groceries than men (8%). More women report that they are spending a lot less than a year ago on going out and treating themselves – 26% against 20% - and a lot less on clothes (18% against 11%).

FINANCIAL BEHAVIOUR
Current accounts: Parity for men and women

Men and women are now equally likely to have a current account with 90% of both sexes doing so. Ten years' ago, women were slightly less likely to have a current account than men (82% against 85%).

Savings and Investments: Women more likely to have an ISA but less likely to have share related investments

A slightly higher proportion of women (34%) have an ISA than men (31%). Women, however, are less likely to have share related investments: stocks and shares (11% against 14%), unit trusts (2% against 3%) and company share schemes (1% against 3%).

Women are also less likely than men to be participating in a pension scheme with 26% doing so compared with 30% of men. This difference is entirely attributable to fewer women having a personal pension (3% against 7%), with 23% of both men and women participating in an employer-sponsored pension. (FRS T8.1)

Deposit based savings: Women have higher savings balances
Nationally, women just edge men with slightly higher overall average savings balances – ?7,981 against ?7,657; a difference of 4%. Regionally, the biggest differentials where women have a higher average savings balance than men are in the South East (6%) and East Anglia (5%). The only regions where men save more than women are Scotland (14%) and the North (1%).
Men are also more likely to have no savings, with 37% of single men reporting to have none compared with 30% of single women.

Despite having a higher uptake of ISAs, those women with savings in an ISA have a slightly lower balance than men, on average: 3% lower at ?8,846 against ?9,126.

Pensions: Male pensioners are better off and men are making better provision for retirement
Male pensioners have higher incomes than female pensioners on average. Single male pensioners had an average net income after housing costs of ?240 per week in 2009-10 compared with ?208 for single female pensioners – a difference of 15%.

Men are currently making better provision for their retirement than women with 49% of men currently saving adequately compared with 42% of women.

Delaire Country Club Offers A Unique Amenity: Walk-On Golf

Members at Delaire County Club in Delray Beach already know about the Club's best kept golfing secret: the ability to walk onto the golf course—any time—and play, no tee time required.

But that secret is just one of the innovative features that make up "the Delaire Difference."

"Our professional staff here is exceptional, and we offer creative opportunities to learn," says Annette "Babe" DeLuca, an assistant professional at Delaire, who joined the golfing program in September 2010. "We also have a beautiful facility, with a new clubhouse under construction, and our golf course has some of the best 27 holes in South Florida."

DeLuca has been a member of the LPGA Tour for the past 15 years and is a Class A member of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional (T&CP) Division.

Prior to joining Delaire, DeLuca was the Adult Golf Coordinator at the John Prince Golf Learning Center in Lake Worth for three years. She also taught at the Boca Raton Resort and Spa from 2005 through 2007, where she was a lead golf instructor for the ESPN Golf Schools.

A native of Palm Beach Gardens, DeLuca now resides in Tequesta. "I drive 45 minutes to work every day because I love com women's coats ing to Delaire," she says. "The membership is great."

Since arriving at Delaire, DeLuca has been instrumental in adding new programs and fresh ideas to an already comprehensive golf program. There are now men's and women's "theme clinics"; a "Rising Star League" for ladies who are learning and prefer to play in a non-competitive atmosphere; skills challenges, complete with prizes; and free clinics three times per month. These new programs are in addition to private lessons, tournaments, social events, night golf and a full-service pro shop featuring the latest clothing and equipment, expert club fitters and competitive pricing.

DeLuca works with seasoned assistant pro Bill Jones under Joe Jones, Delaire's Head Golf Professional, who has been at the Club for 23 years. Joe Jones can sum up the golf experience at Delaire Country Club in just a few words. "We have an extraordinary golf program here," he says proudly.

Indeed, with three, nine-hole championship golf courses designed by Joe Lee—along with undulating fairways, lush landscapes and manicured greens—Delaire really has something for everyone. And with the Club's unique "One Up/Two Down" policy, parents, children and grandchildren of members can enjoy the facilities as well.

"Our golf course never sleeps," says Jones.

About Delaire Country Club
Delaire Country Club is a private community of 326 single-family homes located on Military Trail along the Boca Raton-Delray Beach line. Delaire offers a first-class, casually elegant country club experience, featuring a 27-hole Joe Lee championship golf course with walk-on golf (no tee times), a full-service tennis facility with eight Har-Tru courts and world-class dining.

Though the summer seasons is at its peak in August, it is the time when people start to realize that the sunny hot days will be gone in no more than a month. Undoubtedly, that may cause bad feelings such as sadness, misery and even depression, but there is a philosophy telling us that we need to look for the good thing in everything. And the beginning of August is definitely a time when lots of positive things can be found out – first of all, the summer is not over yet, and more importantly, it is August when people can take advantage of the greatest discounts.

"We, the staff from DinoDirect, always do our best to provide our customers with the hottest deals on the market so that the customers can feel that th women's jackets online ey are truly valued," the marketing manager announced. In addition, he said that "unlike other online shops, DinoDirect's sales cover a great variety of products" – men's shirts, men's shorts, girl's clothes and boy's clothes are just a small part of what one will be able to find at a discounted price.

But what will the discounts be like? Basically, they may vary from product to product but all of them will be over 50% (i.e. half price) as some of the products' prices may be reduced by 80%. Practically, that means that a women's dress or women's shorts will be sold nearly three times cheaper.

Is there a catch? That is certainly a question which many people are asking themselves. No, there is no a catch! One does not need to be a regular customer for the last 20 years, and should not have purchased for at least $5.000 so as to take advantages of those hot offers. All a person has to do is visit DinoDirect, and get what appeals to him or her! However, it should be reminded that the end of summer sale finish on August 11th.

Those who are a hesitant type of people really need to think quickly unless they want to be sorry for missing out on some of the greatest offers ever launched! Why is it needed to purchase a pair of women shoes or a women's hat, or whatever else, at a certain price when they can purchased at nearly three times lower prices from DinoDirect. The great variety of discounted products will literally enable everyone to renew their summer ultimate closet by saving up to 80% off. That is definitely a factor to be taken into consideration as the economic crisis is still here. And boy's clothes, girl's clothes, women's shoes, men's shirts, women's dresses etc. are definitely the type of items which one can save from! After all, the only difference between the discounted prices and the clothes sold at full price is the "collection." Ask the question if it is really worth spending thee times more money on buying the same clothes, but from a "different collection."

New Study Shows Electronic Cigarettes May Help Unmotivated Smokers Cut Down or Quit, Says Square

Square has long believed that their disposable electronic cigarettes can—and do—help people cut down or even stop smoking cigarettes. That idea was recently supported in an Italian study posted on the BMC Public Health website, according to a new article by the American Counsel of Science and Health (ACSH).

The ACSH article states that electronic cigarettes stood up favorably in this first clinical trial. Results indicate that the electronic devices may not only be more effective than traditional nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) at helping people who want to quit smoking; e-cigarettes may also help cigarette smokers reduce their smoking—even those who express no interest in kicking the habit.

The small clinical trial was conducted on 40 healthy adults, who smoked regularly and had no expressed intention of quitting. Intervention was limited to providing each smoker in the study group electronic cigarettes and conducting a baseline assessment and four follow-up clinic visits. fashion jackets The smokers were simply told to use the e-cigarettes as they pleased—but were not instructed to quit smoking regular cigarettes.

Over the next six months, 22.5 percent of the participants reported that they had completely quit smoking. Another 32.5 percent reported that they had cut down their cigarette consumption by at least half. In sum, over half of the smokers were able to quit or significantly cut down their cigarette use. This outcome is especially impressive, according to the article, considering that the six-month quit rate for approved cessation aids is well below 20 percent—and those results are derived from smokers who want to quit and are followed closely in a clinical setting.

"This trial simulated a real-life experience, where no motivation or support was offered to subjects to quit smoking," said ACSH advisor Dr. Mike Siegel, professor at Boston University's School of Public Health. "This could well be groundbreaking." Siegel indicated that he is excited to see the results of more extensive clinical trials, particularly involving subjects who are motivated to quit, stating, "I am confident that the success rate will be significantly higher."

Moving from regular cigarettes to e-cigs can be a good health move. Jean-Fran?ois Etter, a researcher at the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine in Geneva was recently quoted as stating that even though fake cigarettes still contain nicotine, smokers who use them "are not exposed to some 4,000 toxic substances present in tobacco cigarettes."

Square 82 e-cigarettes are becoming a popular smoking alternative because they feel a lot like inhaling cigarette smoke—yet only water vapor with little to no aroma is dispelled. The product does not produce dangerous secondhand smoke or stink up the room or clothes or breath. They can be used almost anywhere.

"I have always wanted to quit smoking so I thought I would give this a try," said Lisa, a Square 82 reviewer on squaresmoke.com. "I bought my 1st one 6 weeks ago. I smoke about 2 packs a day. I have not smoked a cigarette in 6 weeks. Square is awesome and its lasts about 4 or 5 days before I have to buy another one. Thanks s Squaresmoke!"

For more information about Square 82 e-cigs, please visit the company website at http://www.squaresmoke.com or call 1-888-900-6896.

About Square

The product—which lasts about the same as two packs of cigarettes, but is priced like a single pack—does not generate second hand smoke, tar, or yellow teeth. Square Smoke is now available at select bars, restaurants, movie theaters, gas stations, and even convenience stores such as Chevron Gas Stations.

Lead by Entrepreneur Beth Stollman, Local Businessmen and Women Organize Charity Dinner to Raise Money for East African Famine Appeal

The fundraising event was held in San Diego, California and proved to be a huge success. Beth Stollman, a local entrepreneur who runs a successful online clothing retail business, organized the event after seeing on television the plight of the people affected by the famine in East Africa. The dinner and social mixer hosted more than 200 local business people and residents and raised more than $30,000 from ticket sales alone, plus an undisclosed sum from further contributions made throughout the evening. Beth Stollman estimates that more than $45,000 was raised in total.

"I saw news footage about the crises on the TV and felt I just had to do something" comments organizer, Beth Stollman. Having lived and worked in San Diego for the past 20 years, Stollman decided to utilize the resources she had most easily available to her – business connections in the San Diego area - and arrange an event that would bring them all together. "I wanted to offer something that would be appealing to the people donating, rather than just asking them flat out for donations. A dinner and social mixer provided a great opportunity for local business people to network with each other, while raising money for the appeal at the same time".

Beth Stollman has been involved in various charitable ventures in recent years. This event was the first one she was responsible for initiating. She arranged the venue, caterers and music. "Local businesses were more than women's coats online happy to get involved and help out. We received incredibly generous offers which helped us with the venue and the catering. I was actually shocked by how easy it was to arrange the event," comments Stollman.

The enthusiasm of local businesses didn't end there; according to Beth Stollman, upon hearing about the event, the tickets were easily sold to local business men and women, as well as local residents and local professionals working in the area. More than 200 tickets were bought in less than two weeks. "I believe the success of the event can be attributed to the fact that we genuinely offered the participants something in return, something that was beneficial and enjoyable for them too," remarks Stollman.

About Beth Stollman
Beth Stollman was born in Austin, Texas, and moved to San Diego more than 20 years ago after graduating from high school. A keen nature lover and self confessed 'fitness fanatic', she has been actively involved in community awareness and community sporting projects for the past 10 years. After pursuing a career in retail purchasing for more than 12 years, Beth Stollman set up her own online retail business a little less than 5 years ago. The successful business has given her the flexibility she was seeking to allow her the freedom to spend more time on her sporting, community and charitable projects.
