From The Desk Of...The Publishing DirectorIf you’ve ever wondered where your hard earned money is going, it’s time to take a more thoughtful approach to your spending. Spending too much and living in deficit mode is stressful, but you aren’t alone. According to a recent Federal Reserve report the total U.S. consumer debt was $2.43 trillion. Here are some tips that can help.

Do you miss bill payments and incur late fees? Do you pay ATM fees to access your own money? Stop wasting money on avoidable fees.

A latte every morning may seem like a worthwhile indulgence, but is it worth nearly $1000 a year? Small expenses add up, so the easiest way to build savings is to cut them out. Grow this number in your savings account, rather than your credit card bill.

Think before spending. We live in a world where there is an opportunity to make impulse purchases every time you turn around. Shut off your “purchase auto-pilot” and actively think about your spending. Before reaching for plastic ask, “Do I need this or just want it? Is there a better way to spend this money?”

Don’t lose sight of big goals. Put a picture of that car you are saving for in your wallet and by your computer to help you stay goal-oriented.

Shop wisely and locally. Clipping coupons is a no-brainer. Some people disregard the task, because of the effort involved. But it can be painless if you know what

to look for. Save money on gas by shopping locally and helping out the small businesses in your community.

We have some great interactive coupons at CoCoCoupons.com. You can print or text them to your Smartphone or share with friends via Facebook and Twitter. You have access to all our coupons, all the time! Plus, you can check out the Deal of the Day at savings of up to 50% off. Just in time for holiday shopping!

By setting priorities, choosing wisely and saving regularly, you can meet financial goals you never thought possible.

Sincerely,Sonya North - Publishing Director

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

Let The Sun Shine In!Here it is, the 1st of October; the morning temperature is a mild 70 degrees. You have got to love the East County and the beautiful weather it unveils this time of year. Now with the influence of vineyards, the Brentwood farmlands warrant the brush of an artist. The colors are spectacular and the sunsets to die for. The corn harvest is almost over and you can hear the tractors putting the fields away for winter. What a great time to wash those windows and enjoy the fall from inside your home. And, finish putting up those window coverings so your house can be ready for the holidays. So, my dear readers, off we go to snoop a local company that can fulfill those needs.

Accent’ Shutters & Blinds, a family owned and operated business since 1996 is just a phone call away. All you have to do is call 513-7130 and the showroom comes right to your home. After talking to Joyce and Blane Boatright about giving me an estimate and helping me with my interior design, I knew I had chosen the right company. After all, even a snoop needs a little help making her home the best

it can be. These guys have a great reputation and have a long standing relationship with this community. Many of my friends have used Accent’ Shutters & Blinds and they couldn’t be happier. The best part is, after choosing your window coverings, it is just two weeks until it is delivered and installed. That means by the time you get this publication, you can have your window coverings in and ready for Thanksgiving. Your in-home estimate is free and get this; they will even give you free installation and better yet, temporary shades while you wait. It can’t get any better than that. And, these guys are certified Hunter Douglas shutter installers, so you won’t have to worry about those horrible stories you’ve heard about the shutters from, well, you know.

Some of the products they carry are the 2” Faux Woods Blinds, Duette Honeycomb Shades, Silhouette Window Shadings, Luminette Privacy Sheers, Vignette Window Shadings and 1” Celebrity Aluminum Blinds. Boy that’s a mouthful, and imagine they all come right inside your home so you can see the exact color and fabric before you buy. They even ask you to compare their prices with other companies and witness first hand the savings.

I think the thing I liked most about dealing with Accent’ Shutters & Blinds, is they are so personable and willing to help. Prior to calling, I thought I would check out the local building stores to see if I could do my little project

Accent Shutters & Blinds can be contacted at 925-513-7130.

by myself. I found myself in the middle of hundreds of books, all with different directions on how to measure, with prices varying from cheap to ridiculous. Not only that, but by the time I waited to talk to the clerk about my choices, they rolled in that giant rolling ladder and the forklift with the “beep,beep,beep!” noise. The lighting was horrible and I was practically in tears. And remarkably, after bidding my project with Joyce, I was saving money and getting the quality product and service I deserve.

As your secret shopper, I pride myself in guiding our readers to the right location for the right job. Well, you don’t even have to leave your home, just pick up the phone and call. They are always on time and ready to help you in any way. Just tell them in advance what kind of project you have and they will bring the showroom to you. That means you can schedule your appointment during that particular time of day that brings in the most sunshine so you can see exactly what it means to have privacy or visibility. Now that’s impressive.

So Joyce and Blane, the Monthly Grapevine gives you five rays of sunshine for making this snoop happy and offering such a wonderful product and service to our community. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

Protect Your Home Against Weather DisastersIt may still seem like spring but fall and winter are just around the corner and who knows what havoc Mother Nature may wreak tomorrow. Water, wind, fire and earth movement can be hazardous to your home. But, there are actions you can take now to protect your property and prevent major damage should one of these elements strike. Depending on the age of your home and the building codes in your area, some of these improvements may already be in place.

Water - Apart from major flooding, most damage occurs when water seeps in through cracks and leaks. Make sure that windows and doors are well sealed. Seal any cracks and holes in the foundation and exterior walls. Repair or replace roof shingles around any area that allows water to penetrate the roof sheathing. Check for holes or air leaks in the attic and basement. Install or make sure that the flashing, a thin metal strip, around the doors, windows, thresholds, chimney and roof are in tact.

Wind - Minimize the damage by keeping the wind from getting inside your home.

Consider solid wood or hollow metal doors, which are more likely to resist wind pressure and flying debris. There are also roofing products with high wind resistance available.

Wildfire - Some inexpensive home improvements that you can make include installing a spark arrestor on your chimney, eliminating brush and debris from around your property. More expensive improvements include replacing single-pane glass windows, doors or skylights with tempered glass, recovering your exterior walls with a more fire-resistant material, and re-roofing your home with a Class A roof covering.

Earthquake - Steps you can take to protect your property and possessions include anchoring appliances, water heater, dressers, and other heavy items to the wall. You can finds kits at the hardware store. Secure ceiling lights, chandeliers and other hanging items to the permanent structure of your home. It is also a good idea to install a main gas shut-off device.

Of course, there may be times, when no amount of prepping can protect your home. However, homeowner’s insurance can help protect you financially in case something happens to your property or its contents. Most standard homeowner’s insurance policies include structural coverage and personal property coverage. Depending on your location, you may also need additional coverage against earthquake, hurricane, flood and fire. If you are renting, look into renter’s insurance; it can be surprisingly affordable.

Remember the owner’s policy does not cover your personal property.

Periodically review your homeowner’s insurance policy to make sure that you are adequately covered to rebuild your home and replace your contents. If there is ever damage to your personal property, having a home inventory can make it easier when filing an insurance claim. Go around the house and list every item in every room. Don’t forget the attic, basement or other storage places. In addition, take photos or video of each room for visual documentation. It is also a good idea to arrange valuable collections, silver, jewelry, etc. and take close up photos.

It is important to have an emergency evacuation plan and designated meeting area to take ahead count in case of fire or other emergency. When weather-related disasters strike, what’s most important is your safety and that of your family. However, by taking precautions to protect your home, you can possibly help keep damage to a minimum; or in the case of severe damage, make sure that you have the financial means to rebuild. For more information go to www.ibhs.org or www.fema.gov.

TIMELY FEATURE ARTICLE

Sticking To A Healthy Diet While Eating OutWhether you have a job that requires wining and dining clients, a family whose “get togethers” mean a big meal out, or simply have no skills in the kitchen, restaurant food can add inches to your waistline. Check out these fool-proof diet tips for eating out!

Be in the know - Understanding how to make smart menu substitutions is one of the smartest things you can do. Tammy says, “Restaurant staff really aim to please. Unless the menu says “no substitutions,” most restaurants are accommodating.” If you’re polite to your server they will probably be happier to accommodate you.

Go easy on the sauce - The most important tip when eating out is to order

sauces, dressings and condiments on the side. We’ve all heard this before, but it can truly save hundreds of calories. Since most sauces are filled with oil, sour cream, sugar, butter, cream, or a combination of these, they are very calorically rich. Be careful not to dump the entire side of sauce onto your meal. Use the teaspoon to measure one or two scoops, as a general rule. Some lower calorie sauce exceptions to this include red sauce and fresh veggie or fruit-based salsa.

Size does matter - Following the “everything in moderation” mantra can get you far, depending on how closely you adhere to it. Portion size is critical. Restaurants tend to serve a much larger portion than one would normally eat at a meal, which can leave you with a whole day’s worth of food at one sitting. In this case, do the hand test. Carb-filled foods, such as pasta and rice, should be limited to the size of your fist. Match proteins up, such as salmon or steak, to the size and thickness of your palm. When portioning veggies, the more the better, as long as they’re not drenched in butter, oil or cream. Article courtesy of www.sheknows.

com

Chinese, if you please - While Chinese food conjures up images of deep fried meats, sugary sauces and starchy dumplings, other widely available dishes include steamed veggies, unbreaded meats and broth-based soups. If the entrée selections don’t contain a lot of veggies, the Nutrition Twins always add an order of steamed veggies and mix them directly into the meal so they still get the same flavorful satisfaction while saving big on calories.

International sabotage - Some of the highest calorie cuisines include French and East Indian. If you take away the butter and cream based sauces, puff pastry wraps and fat-braised meats, much of the essence and flavor of the food is taken away. Though Indian food includes a lot of nutritious vegetables and legumes, the coconut milk, ghee, and oil added to most dishes ahead of time aren’t able to be substituted upon request.
