]]> Comment on Save money on your Ulster Bank Credit Card interest rate by valueireland http://www.valueireland.com/2009/01/save-money-on-your-ulster-bank-credit-card-interest-rate/#comment-680 valueireland Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:18:53 +0000 http://www.valueireland.com/?p=1427#comment-680 Dermot - My comment was aimed to preempt the comments from those that say you should always pay off your credit card every month. But your comment does raise an interesting question - since I don't always pay off my balance every month, I may be more likely to be given this discount than someone like yourself.

Is it because they hate people like me who always pay off the balance ofthe credit card, and are therefore unlikely to give me a special rate? Obviously, as I pay my balance off each month, the interest rate doesn't usually bother me, but I like to know that if I did miss a payment, my interest payments would be as low as possible.

]]> Comment on Where to focus a “Buy Irish” campaign? by valueireland http://www.valueireland.com/2008/09/where-to-focus-a-%e2%80%9cbuy-irish%e2%80%9d-campaign/#comment-674 valueireland Sat, 03 Jan 2009 16:16:59 +0000 http://vibkup.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/where-to-focus-a-%e2%80%9cbuy-irish%e2%80%9d-campaign/#comment-674 That's sort of part of our thinking - particularly in later posts. If we can't buy Irish products, at least buy from Irish retailers. Though, I suppose some would say that that's partially diluted by shopping in Newry.

]]> Comment on Do you check out the unit price of items? by valueireland http://www.valueireland.com/2008/12/do-you-check-our-the-unit-price-of-items/#comment-673 valueireland Sat, 03 Jan 2009 16:14:44 +0000 http://www.valueireland.com/?p=1315#comment-673 Thank you both for your comments. I think that Donals final sentence confirms my original point questioned by Dermot - "More often than not it’s near impossible to go to this level of detail for every item on your shopping list". Definitely that's the case - and probably designed by our supermarkets to be exactly that complicated. But we probably need to be somewhat vigilant - it's in our own interests to do so.
