Save On Gas and Buy More Designer Jewelry

It is no secret, in fact it is hard to avoid the painful news of rising fuel worldwide. At an average of $4 per gallon, it is not yet clear if we have seen the highs. For everyone this means higher prices not only at the pump but on everything that we normally buy. We still want what we normally buy and most of us do not like making sacrifices and living without the things that we want. So does inflation mean that there is no longer room in our budget for designer jewelry? Given a few smart tips, you will see that you can have your gas and jewelry too!
The bottom line is that we need to make some simple changes to our daily lives to control the uncontrollable (gas prices). We live in a world where technology can really lend a hand in our solutions. Those of us who shop a lot know that you might drive around from store to store to find exactly what we are looking for, especially those of us with discriminating taste. The good news is that most jewelry designers have online stores, either through their own independent sites (jwassoriginals.com) or a combined destination site. I know, one might say, “well, I then have to pay the shipping on the designer jewelry that I purchase online”. Jewelry is small and inexpensive to ship and most jewelry designers will ship their jewels for free if you ask them to, especially as a first time customer. Most independent designers are friendly and negotiable and want you to wear their designer jewelry looks. If free shipping will make or break a sale then I think it is a pretty safe bet that you will get free shipping on your jewels. Shopping online can be just as rewarding as window shopping, and a lot of the time you can find one-of-a-kind designer jewelry items that are not offered anywhere else. So all the money that you save at the pump can be adorning your neck, ears, and hands.
I do not mean to make light of the pressing issues that our nation faces, and I hope that this is not the tone here. I do believe that we can still have the things we want…designer jewelry, shoes, electronics if we make some simple changes to our lifestyle to use less of the items that are draining our budget in exchange for the things that help us feel adorned and enriched. Walk more, drive less, shop online and spend the money that you save on gas on designer jewelry and goods that you have always purchased. Go ahead feel beautiful and empowered…it will only make us, as a nation, stronger.
