Mum's the Word - Creative Mother's Day Shopping Tips to Save Money

LONDON, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Showing Mum how special she is doesn't have to be expensive. PriceGrabber.co.uk(R), a part of Experian, announces its list of smart Mother's Day shopping techniques to help shoppers express their love for Mum without emptying their bank accounts.

    
    - Cut the cost of sweet treats - Make homemade chocolates, cupcakes or
      biscuits instead of buying gourmet chocolate truffles.
    - Comparison-shop for gifts - Comparison-shop for Mother's Day
      gifts like perfume, clothing, accessories and books on sites like
      PriceGrabber.co.uk (http://www.pricegrabber.co.uk/), which can help
      Save consumers an average of 20 percent to 30 percent.
    - Presentation is everything - Take the time to decorate gifts with
      ribbon and stylish tissue paper. Chic gift-wrap accessories can help an
      inexpensive gift look more luxurious.
    - Card creativity - Make your own Mother's Day card, or use a free e-card
      Website to tell Mum just how special she is. Homemade cards are more
      personal and are guaranteed a special place on her shelf.
    - Avoid restaurant lunch mayhem - Cook a special Mother's Day lunch at
      home, away from the crowds and inflated restaurant prices. There's no
      need to worry about a reservation when dining at home.
    - Set a price alert - PriceGrabber.co.uk allows consumers to set a
      price alert (http://tiny.cc/0fhgv) that sends them an email
      notification when the item drops to their desired price. This is
      especially helpful for big-ticket Mother's Day gifts like electronics
      (http://electronics.pricegrabber.co.uk/).
    - Check for coupons online - PriceGrabber's coupon category
      (http://www.pricegrabber.co.uk/home_coupons.php) helps shoppers find
      increased discounts on their favorite Mother's Day gifts by allowing
      them to search coupons by category.
    - Gifts from the heart, not from the purse - Tell mum how much she
      means with a poem or heartfelt note. Print or handwrite it on elegant
      paper and place it in a handsome frame so she can cherish it forever.
