Paid $2.49 on My Publix Trip

My Publix trip wasn't really that great this time, I'm finding the sales pretty weak this week. I did manage to get some Trident gum which was on clearance to give me some overage, and there were a few bottles of Scope left on sale. Otherwise it was just produce for salads and some peanuts for DH to eat while he watches TV. The price of Romaine lettuce went up 10% this week to $2.29. I really feel sorry for people who don't coupon - there's no way I could afford Publix prices without coupons. The new Green Advantage Buy flyer sale prices start tomorrow so I'll try to get some of those, as well as keep an eye for the new Publix One Stop, One Store booklet.

Am I Covered?

Whenever we are in our backyard we see across the fence a huge, old tree in the middle of our neighbors backyard where the branches have started to fall off sometimes. When we were gone on vacation a couple weeks ago, we came home to find a branch had fallen into our backyard and broken a plank of fencing. It was negligible damage, but there is a bigger branch hanging over our yard that has me watching it closely (with my good eye).

 

We keep hoping the neighbor will trim the tree since branches are often falling into their backyard, but its unlikely since the owners bought the foreclosed house and have inconsistently had renters in it. Anyway, I happened to come across some information that will help us deal with the problem when it becomes a problem. The Federal Citizen Information Center has a handy guide outlining exactly what typical homeowners insurance policy (HO-3) covers.

 

As far as a tree falling -

- If the neighbor's tree fell on our fence or house, then our insurance will cover the damage and pay for the tree removal.

- If our (or our neighbor's) tree fell in our yard without hitting a structure, then we're on our own.

- If our tree fell on our house, then our insurance will cover the damage and pay for the tree removal.

- If our tree fell on our neighbor's house, then their insurance will cover the damage and pay for the tree removal.

In other words, if your property gets damaged, your insurance pays regardless of who the tree belonged to. But if the tree doesn't do any damage, insurance doesn't get involved.

Here are some other handy things to know -

 

A pipe bursts and water flows all over my floors. Am I covered?

Yes.

The HO-3 covers you for accidental discharge of water from a plumbing system. You should check your plumbing and heating systems once a year. While you are covered for damage, who needs the mess and hassle?

What if water seeps into my basement from the ground, am I covered?

No. Water seepage is excluded under the HO-3. And if the water seepage is not due to a flood you will not be covered under a flood policy. Seepage is viewed as a maintenance issue and is not covered by insurance. You should see a contractor about waterproofing your basement.

A neighbor slips on my sidewalk or falls down my porch steps and threatens to take me to court for damages. Does my policy protect me?

Yes. The policy will pay for damages, if a fall or other accident on your property is the result of your negligence. It will also pay for the legal costs of defending you against a claim. Also, the medical payments part of your homeowners policy will cover medical expenses, if a neighbor or guest is injured on your property. You should check to see how much liability protection you have. The standard amount is $100,000. If you feel you need more, consider purchasing higher limits.

A tree falls and damages my roof during a storm. Am I covered?

Yes. You are covered for the damage to your roof. You are also covered for the removal of the tree, generally up to a $500 limit. You should cut down dead or dying trees close to your house and prune branches that are near your house. It's true that your insurance covers damage, but falling trees and branches can also injure your family.

During a storm, a tree falls but does no damage to my property. Am I covered for the cost of removing the tree?

Your trees and shrubs are covered for losses due to risks like vandalism, theft and fire, but not wind damage. However, if a fallen tree blocks access to your home you may be covered for its removal. Decide if you need extra insurance for the trees, plants and shrubs on your property. You may be able to purchase extra insurance, which will not only cover the cost of removing fallen trees, but will also cover the cost of replacing trees, and other plants.

If a storm causes a power outage and all the food in my refrigerator or freezer is spoiled and must be thrown out, can I make a claim?

The general answer is no. However, there are a number of exceptions. In some states, food spoilage is covered under the homeowners policy. In addition, if the power loss is due to a break in a power line on or close to your property, you may be covered. You should check with your agent to find out whether you are covered for food spoilage in your state. If not, you can add food spoilage coverage to your policy for an additional premium.

I have children away at college. Are they covered by my homeowners insurance?

If they're full-time college students and part of your household, your insurance generally provides some coverage in a dorm, typically 10 percent of the contents limit. If they live off campus, some companies may not provide this limited coverage if the apartment is rented in the student's name.

My golf clubs are stolen from the trunk of my car. Does my homeowners policy cover the loss?

Yes. The HO-3 covers your personal property while it is anywhere in the world. However, if your golf clubs are old, you will only get their current value, which may not be enough to purchase a new set. Consider buying a replacement cost endorsement for your personal property. This way you will get what it costs to replace the golf clubs, less the applicable deductible.

Safe Backyard Fire Tips

It was 72F this morning, a bit chilly on the bike ride but I'm not complaining. We've been waiting six months for some cool mornings and evenings to give us some relief from all this sunshine in FL. One of my favorite things about cool Autumn weather is having fires in our chiminea in the evening. The rich, woodsy aroma of a campfire brings back wonderful memories of being outdoors. One of the attractions of having a backyard fire pit is the adventurous, risky behavior we get to enjoy - right in our own yard! And I'm not kidding, backyard fire pits can be hazardous if you don't follow a few simple safety precautions:

• Location, Location, Location - choose your placement of your fire pit, chiminea or grill carefully. Be sure it is not too close to house siding, wood deck railings, patio umbrellas, awnings or overhead lines. It's also important to place it somewhere out of the normal traffic pattern of the household so when things start to get wild and crazy, the fire is not in the way of people running with scissors.
• Weather - before you decide to have a fire, check the weather to be sure there are not bans on burning in drought areas, or that those 20 mph winds won't blow sparks all over the dead leaf pile you just raked up.
• Kid Zone - if children will be around your fire be sure to take a minute to warn them of the safe zone of about 3 ft around the fire pit. No playing with airborne objects or throwing balls near the fire.
• Tools - be sure to use long tools to manage your fire or any food preparation. When you are not using that poker, store it safely out of the traffic path. If you are cooking marshmallows use a fresh stick that won't burn up and frighten a young child into hurling that burning chunk of sugar into your mom's lap.
• Dress for Success - keep those warm blankets a safe distance from the fire, and avoid loose fitting flyaway clothing. I always make sure my jacket or over shirt is not nylon which will melt if a sparks flies on it. Cotton is best to wear around the fire.
• Burning Materials - we always build our fire starting with crumbled up newspaper balls, then some dried leaves that flame nice, a layer of tinder or small branches, then some splints of wood tipped up like a tee pee, with a couple smaller logs placed up around the edge. Pine and Cedar are wonderfully aromatic woods - but they tend to pop and spark more than Oak. Usually we empty most of the ashes from a previous fire but leave some for no reason that I know. Anyway, some people burn scrap lumber but this may give off fumes from chemicals used on the wood. My sister always starts hers with a duraflame log and then a few oak logs make a tee pee over the chemical log - no kindling or tinder or paper. It works great, but could be expensive if you want a frugal fire.
• Emergency Preparedness - of course no one would ever have a fire without safety measures in place, would they? We keep a 5 gal pail of wood bark nearby that we could dump out in an emergency, and then fill with water from the nearby pool. If you don't have a pool, be sure to locate your household fire extinguisher and have it handy. If you haven't a fire extinguisher (shame on you - get one now!), at least unwind the hose and have it nearby in you need it.

Now, you're ready-  Light that fire!

How To Preserve Your Memories

Just last week we traveled to Minnesota to visit our families and we took a lot of pictures. Over 500 to be honest. With all the family reunion parties, attending the State Fair and some fun dirt track racing there were a lot of opportunities to capture some great pictures.

 

One of my favorite ways to preserve these memories is by making photo books with Shutterfly Photo books. I have a whole bookcase full of photo books of our trips up North, and cruises, and holidays at the beach. The wonderful thing about Shutterfly is that you can upload your pictures and then share them with everyone you included in your pictures. A photo book is also a great gift to share those pictures. My favorite size is the 8x8 hard cover photo book.

 

My other plan with these recent family pictures is to make a Christmas card using the photo of our entire extended family. Luckily the timing worked and everyone was able to attend a BBQ and we took lots of great family shots.

 

And of course, I took lots of nature pictures that I can make into beautiful Thank You cards to send to our hostesses.

My Publix Trip ($0.37)

This week we've been catching up on chores after a nice long trip out of town. I feel a little out of it as far as couponing - it seems like I didn't spend anytime this week clipping and planning. Most the coupons were for overage items that are not even on sale, but they are an important part of saving money. While visiting family up North, we explained how couponing has allowed us to have spare budget money for travel and other purchases. But they just don't get it. My dad even told me that their largest household expense is groceries! I encouraged him to at least just get a couple Sunday papers on weekends when there were lots of coupons (like this one coming up!) Anyway, you can only help so much - people need to be motivated to do it themselves.

 

Anyway, here's our big Publix trip for the week paid thirty seven cents and got a ten dollar gift card for next time. I'm planning on going back this weekend to get the Trident Gum that is on sale starting with the Yellow Advantage Flyer, not much else interesting for me.
