• Check prices with scanner if available to ensure you are getting the right price. This is the price that will show up at the till.

Some Tips to Prevent Identify Theft For Your Family

When we go grocery shopping we normally pay with cash or more commonly our debit card. It is an easy way to shop in family life today. We use it at most other stores also if we are not using a credit card.

Here are some tips that can help you to prevent identify theft:

1. If you want to use your debit card change your PIN number every 4 to 6 months. As most of us will not do this or will not remember to do this, number 2 is probably the better option.
2. Buy everything (where possible) with a credit card. Pick one card or get one new card so that you can use it for everything you normally would have used your debit card for. In this way you get your bill every month and can now pay the bill in full (as you would have used your debit card anyway).
   
3. Extra benefit - You get to see how much you are spending on each thing so it can give you better financial control.

Keep this in mind in family life today.
