NS&I Unveils The First Live Vegetable Plot At BBC Good Food Shows

NS&I (National Savings and Investments), one of the UK’s largest savings organisations, is delighted to be working with Matthew Biggs to encourage ‘growing your own’ at this year’s BBC Good Food Show events.

Visitors to this year’s events in Glasgow (SECC, 30 October – 1 November), London (Olympia, 13 – 15 November) and Birmingham (NEC, 25 – 29 November) are encouraged to stop by the ‘Grow Your Own Food with NS&I’ vegetable plot. The plot will be tended to by Gardeners’ Question Time expert Matthew Biggs, who will be on hand to offer visitors helpful hints and tips on growing fruit and vegetables.

Matthew Biggs commented: “I am delighted to be working on the ‘Grow Your Own Food with NS&I’ feature. I’m looking forward to speaking to visitors at this year’s events, offering advice on how they can make the most of growing their own fruit and veg.”

He added: “Growing your own is the perfect way to cut down your shopping bill, as a bumper crop of ingredients such as tomatoes or rocket, can be grown easily for the small cost of a packet of seeds. It’s also fun for the family and a great way to enjoy fresh food with the finest flavour long after you’ve planted the first seed.”

Tips to Save Money on Life Insurance

The very word, life insurance, is self explanatory. “Our prime objective is to safeguard our lives and that of our family, by making a financial provision for them following our death”, founder of Insure4USA.com stated. Of all the various kinds of insurance in the market, life insurance is the most important. The benefits that you can derive are worth every penny you invest. Insurance industries compete with each other for a niche in the market and offer a variety of discounts. Like any other insurance, you need to pay a premium on life insurance too. You also have to meet various financial commitments and therefore need to set aside enough money to meet all these obligations. However, with a little bit of effort you can save money on your life insurance premium. The good news is that premiums have dropped over the past decade, and are expected to drop even further.

A new Insure4USA.com article offers following these tips that will help you to save on life insurance:

Calculate the long term needs of your family

Prior to purchasing life insurance, you need to have an idea of how much it would cost to cover all the expenses of your spouse until retirement, and children until their adulthood. There are plenty of online calculators available to help you figure out your needs. Once you have an idea about how much you need, choosing the appropriate life insurance will be much easier. You don’t need to spend too much on a premium that is not required.

Shop online for quotes

Most insurance companies offer online quotes. The idea is to get as many quotes as possible and shortlist a few that fit within your budget. There is a competitive market out there so make the most of it. However, don’t just settle for the lowest premium, since the credibility of the insurance company is as important.

Term-life vs. cash life

Term life coves the risk of death during a year, and is a temporary insurance. In effect, term life insurance does not have any cash value. Nominees will receive the insured amount in case of death of the policy holder during the year. This is ideal for the average person, where coverage diminishes, as you get closer to retirement. Cash value policies on the other hand are more geared towards wealthy individuals. Therefore, in order to save money a term-life policy is a better option.
