10 Money saving tips

[Rae74]

1 Combine your cable, internet and telephone service

2 Send away for and follow up on rebates.

3 Convert to a gas water heater

4 Request a reduction in the interest rate for your home equity line of credit

5 Get your books from the library

6 Get DVDs from the library

7 Buy your car over the internet: Search the internet for information on the car you want and then send e-mail requests to dealers for the best price.

8 Never pay checking account fees. I hate bank fees. With so many free checking account plans available, there's no reason to pay a fee. And if the bank happens to charge you one, ask them to reverse the fee or take your business to another bank.

9 Take advantage of 0% credit card offers.

10 Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFLs) bulbs
