Ebay deals that most people miss out on.

If your looking for an item on Ebay that's up for auction you should try a few miss spellings of the item. If there is an item that is miss spelled, it won't get the traffic to generate many competing bids and you may be able to pick up for a lower than typical bid.

Menards

My Mother went to Menards to buy a lawn mower. She brought it home and I put oil and gas in it and tried to start it. The Mower did not start. We brought it back to Menards and the store refused to take it back, fix it, exchange it or give an merchandise credit. They said that they do not take back any items that have once had gas in them. That leaves a person wondering how you know if a gas operated item works without putting gas in it. So... the manager gave us a number of a company that was supposed to take care of all the manufacturers warranty work. We called and the company actually said that they wished Menards would stop giving out their number because most of the manufacturers that menards carries will not cover repairs on even brand new items. I called Menards corporate office only to be told that I have to send in a written letter describing the problem. I got back a letter giving me the same repair number that wouldn't repair it in the first place. I strongly caution anyone who is looking to buy any items that require gas or oil from menards.

Saving time and $$$

Shopping for a one year or six month supply of small supplies like shampoo, toothpaste, deoderant, garbage bags etc.. can save you a lot of time and money. Many times when you run out of the small items you have to make a special trip to the store which costs you gas money, wear and tear on your car and time. My advice would be to check out the discount stores to stock up. The dollar stores often have name brand stuff for a dallor. A tube of toothpaste can last two people up to 30 days, contact solution for one person can last up to a month, deoderant for one person can last up to a month and the list of goes on.

Comcast Update

Comcast no longer offers special deals to retain customers. I'm out!  I'm cancelling Comcast.  Switching to WOW. Wow is going to save me $50 a month.

Credit Card Interest Rates

You should call your credits about every six months and ask if a lower interest rate is possible.
Every time I have ever called I've always gotten a lower rate. Usually credit card companies will only allow this to happen once every six months to a year.

free meals at chain restaurants

If you like eating out at chain restaurants, such as TGI Fridays and Chilis for example, signing up to receive emails can be quite rewarding... Although you will get a few junk emails about new food and special promos that don't save you any money, you will get coupons for free appetizers, buy one get one free meals, etc. about once a month. More and more businesses are sweetening the deal for being a loyal customer. Why not go through a couple extra emails to earn some free food?!
