mySupermarket.co.uk announced today that it has been recognised as the major independent source of household grocery data by the UK leading supermarkets. Since the data service launched at the end of 2007, a number of retailers and brands have been buying mySupermarket data. In recent weeks, both Asda and Tesco have used mySupermarket’s independent data in high profile media campaigns to compare the prices of thousands of their products to their competitors.

Supermarkets feel the pressure

As the price-war battle heats up between the UK’s largest supermarkets, each of the stores are increasingly dedicated to provide shoppers with special offers and to be seen as price conscientious. With product prices in each supermarket constantly going up and down, it becomes very hard for consumers to track which products offer the best value within their supermarket each week, and which supermarket offers the best deal on their own trolley. Many shoppers are now solving this problem by going directly to mySupermarket and using the site’s Trolley Checker to reduce the cost of their weekly shop at their chosen supermarket

The decision to use mySupermarket data clearly indicates that it’s not only consumers that are using mySupermarket. The largest supermarkets in the UK recognise that the site provides a reliable grocery price comparison source, and that as an independent site, it is more credible in the eyes of consumers than the supermarkets’ own price comparison checkers. To add fuel to the price-war fire, the supermarkets are using mySupermarket data in their advertising campaigns on a regular basis and are actively encouraging customers to use the site to verify their claims.

Smart consumer shopping can beat pricing confusion

In light of increasing food prices and at a time where literally every penny counts, mySupermarket is not just about comparing prices between supermarkets — it’s about smart shopping within any one supermarket, and giving control of the purse strings back to the customer. With daily real-time price updates, and a free service that scans a trolley to find cheaper like-for-like product alternatives, mySupermarket guarantees its shoppers the best price for their trolley.

Johnny Stern, Director of mySupermarket.co.uk, commented: “Rising food prices mean that consumers need to make budgets go further, and many of us have wised up to the fact that there are alternative like-for-like products available sometimes at a fraction of the cost. The benefits of this are three-fold; Firstly, supermarkets are offering more competitive prices; secondly, they are using independent sources such as mySupermarket to verify these price cuts and thirdly, by simply shopping around using mySupermarket, customers can make sure that they’re getting the best value for money regardless of their chosen supermarket.”

Here is Obama phone number give him a call and ask him why he has not helped the small business people yet. 202- 456-1414 or the comment line 202-456-1111 get back with us on this one ok, I haven’t had a good laugh in months. He is to busy flying around in his shiny airplane and sparkling car. I know he is very concerned about us small business people, he just hasn’t gotten the time lately, it takes a lot of time spending money you know. I find it kind of interesting that we can’t borrow money, nor does Obama help the small business people but when you do find a source for money, believe me they government as with the bank will have their hands out.

As the U.S. economy continues to struggle in its economic road to recovery, the recent S&P credit rating downgrade may lead to more economic woes for debt consumers and savings investors alike. CreditCardRates.co, a newly launched website that monitors credit card rates & news, has released a statement saying, “The downgrade to a lower “AA+” status (down from the better AAA standard), may mean continued low interest rates for investors hoping to earn interest income in savings accounts, while also potentially raising credit card rates for consumers in the future. But so far, rates do not appear to be increasing at this time.”

Rising mortgage rates and credit card rates are among the biggest worries for most Americans following the news. The housing market is still struggling to recover, and the average credit card debt balance for most Americans remains in the double digits. Individuals with variable credit card rates are the ones who are most at risk. Luckily, the Federal Reserve’s recent announcement that it plans to keep prime interest rates low for the next 2 years may help prevent rates from increasing (at least, for the short term).

If the prime rate increases within that time, however, due to increased borrowing costs–then you can expect that credit card rates and other loan rates will soon follow–which could slow the economic recovery even more. An increase in rates means higher interest charges on home loans or car loans, and longer debt payoff times (or higher loan payments) at a time when the economy is already lagging.

But increasing credit card and other loan rates aren’t the only concern–another frustration is that while the current low interest rates make it a great time to get a home loan or car loan, it also makes it a terrible time to invest in savings accounts or certificate of deposit accounts.

Banks usually base the interest rates of savings and certificate of deposit accounts very closely to those short term Treasury rates. According to CertificateofDeposit.co, the average CD rate for a 1 year term right now is hovering at just above 1%. Contrast that to just 3 years ago in 2008, where it was common to find CD rates in the 4-5% range for the same 1 year period. That can be a difference of thousands of dollars in interest income depending on the principal amount invested.

One thing is for certain: These low savings and CD rates–combined with increasing inflation and a chaotic stock market–make it a tough time to be an investor. And with the threat of yet another credit hisory rating downgrade within the next 2 years if the economic outlook doesn?t improve by the S&P.

The good news, however, is that Fitch Ratings announced on August 16, 2011 that they are reaffirming the United State’s “AAA” credit rating. Hopefully this will restore some confidence in investors for the short term.

When it comes to securing a payday loan online, there are many options available. We habitually compare auto and mortgage loan companies but seldom does it occur to us that researching cash advance lenders should be of equal importance. PaylessPaydayLoans.com will help do just that – research and compare personal loan lenders. The site features consumer rankings for top online payday loan companies in U.S. One can sort lenders by state of residence which especially comes handy these days because of differences in state regulations pertaining to payday loans.

Each company on the list has been reviewed by real customers who went through the application and loan approval process with the lender. This adds an extra layer of trust and security for users. The ranking system employs several indicators, including:

1. Approval Rate

The number of approved applications for the lender as a percentage of the total number of approved applications for all lenders.

2. Simplicity and Speed of the Application Process

Combines such factors as the length of the application; application turnaround times (e.g. instant approval), # of required documents, etc.

3. Loan Terms and Costs

Flexibility of the loan terms (the availability of short-term and long-term installment loans, etc.), average approved loan amounts, Annual Percentage Rates (APRs), etc.

Finding answers to many questions about payday loans has never been easier with the new FAQ section of the site. For instance, most of us still believe that our Social Security Number is asked for in order to run a credit check. But the truth is SSN is used solely for identification and teletrack verification purposes, in most cases. One’s credit history is never a decision factor when it comes to payday loans. This type of personal funding is perfect for people with bad credit who are often rejected by mainstream credit card companies and banks.

One of the more advanced features planned for this month release will provide a comprehensive report on bad credit sources for short-term and long-term personal loans. This report will be free of charge and will include a detailed list of lenders with in-depth descriptions, analysis and rankings by real customers.

The U.S. payday loan industry is quite volatile due to many legislative initiatives sponsored by individual states to protect ordinary borrowers from predatory lending practices some lenders have been known for. These initiatives range from interest rate and maximum loan amount caps to loan repayment terms, max # of issued outstanding loans per borrower, the borrower’s income verification procedures, and so on. In view of these recurring changes, a new legal section is being developed that will list current payday loan regulations for each state. This will allow users to make better educated decisions concerning cash advance loans.

CONSUMER NOTICE: A payday loan, also referred to as cash advance, should be used for urgent or emergency expenses, such as paying a cell phone or electricity bill. Such a loan may also serve as a “bridge” between paychecks to leverage personal finances.
