These penny-pinching tips and tricks are bound to save you some dough!

|
| | |  | | Home Telephone (Expired !) | | | | |  | | | Home telephone: The first question is do you even need one? 18% of households in the US are now cellphone only. If you absolutely need one, don't get suckered in for a bundled phone plan with your broadband internet service provider. This may be cheap initially, but one of these options is better for the long term:
Ooma VOIP . Need to shell out $219.xx as a one time cost, but no monthly bills for domestic long distance. $50 international call credit for new customers.
An existing T-Mobile customer? Use their $10 a month unlimited home phone. There is a 2 year contract , but if you plan to use their wireless service anyway, this makes sense.
Magic jack. I am usually skeptical of stuff advertised on TV infomercials, and their service is hit-or-miss. But you won't lose much if it doesn't work out. | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Travel | | | | | | | | Always, start out with a comparison site like Kayak or SideStep These sites search almost all airline and travel sites, helping you find the best price.
Although not prefered for airlines, head over to Hotwire and Priceline for some good deals on hotels and car rentals. These guys don't show you the company's name before you make a purchase though. Hotwire at least shows your the price upfront, so use their price, cut it by 10% to 20% and try you luck bidding at Priceline.
In 9 out 10 cases, Hotwire or Priceline will be able beat what the rental car website offers directly. |

| | | | | | Get your free credit report once a year (but stretch it to 3 times a year) | | | | | | | | Most of you may know this, but those who don't, there is now a way to get your credit report for free once a year. Go to AnnualCreditReport.com.
Although you are eligible to get this only once a year, you have the option of staggering the report from each of the 3 credit unions (Experian, Transunion and Equifax). So if you select to get your report only one report at a time, you can get 3 reports at different times in the year. | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | Online dollar store for electronic accessories! (Expired !) | | | | | | | |  | | This is an online equivalent of a local dollar store. Dealextreme.com is really dirt cheap when it comes to little electronic accessories. Here is a bunch of stuff priced between $1 and $2 shipped!
I have used them before for picking up items such as the $2 memory card reader, the only downside is that they ship out of Hong Kong and the items take 7-10 days to arrive. But I can't complain looking at the prices. |
