I recently purchased a vacuum at Sears and as I was paying, they asked me the $1000 question, “would you like to get a warranty on your new machine”? This question is always a dilemma for me. The vacuum was a large purchase that I was feeling badly about and then they want me to spend another $150 on top of that for a three-year warranty? Consumer Reports had a great article about this last month entitled “Financial Products That are a Waste of Money”, which talked about similar products that they warn you not to spend your money on.
-
Extended Warranties – According to Consumer Reports, things tend to wear out or break after the warranty period has expired so it’s best to just say no.

Time to get the kids ready for school. I have to say that my boys go through running shoes, jeans and backpacks like they are going out of style and so I wanted to blog a little about some good deals on basic necessities that the kids will need for back to school. Both the boy’s backpacks usually only last a year because at some point they will have gotten dragged along behind their bicycles or run over by their brother’s skateboard. So here’s what I found online:

The Basic Backpack – I usually go with the JanSport because it is really good quality and costs MUCH less than the versions made by Lands End or LL Bean. The JanSport Big Student Classics Series Daypack is perfect for most kids and is $34.99 at Amazon.com,
$34.99 at Campmor.com and $39.99 at Sports Authority with free shipping.

Rewards cards are everywhere these days. I routinely save upwards of $40 when I use my Safeway rewards card. They are a huge boost to companies because rewards card holders mean repeat customers. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of using them. Women’s Day magazine recently had a great article about this and we will relay the info to our readers while adding our own Rubbingnickels.com insight.
Airlines – If you can fly on one airline most of the time, you should get a card that gives you frequent flyer miles. The only caveat is that once you have miles to spend on airfare, it is harder, often, to book a flight on reward miles than if you were paying for the ticket.

Did you realize that there are still people who are paying too much for home phone service, both local and long distance? Are you one of these people? Modern technology that you probably already have can help you save a lot on your monthly phone bill and, in some cases, even provide you with more services at the same time. Here are a number of different solutions, and hopefully one of them will work for you.
Solution 1: Mobile only households.
Most mobile calling plans already include free long distance and tolls, and some households are starting to remove their legacy land-line entirely and replace it with the mobile phone that they already have. This can provide a good cost savings, and some cool advantages such as never having to worry about “missing a call” since your home phone is always with you, but also has drawbacks as well. Having a mobile phone as your primary home phone:
- Makes it impossible for multiple people at home to get on the phone simultaneously for that call to grandma;
- Poses challenges for homes where multiple residents each have their own mobile phone but share a common home phone, and for homes where people don’t get great cellular service inside their home; and
- Perhaps most importantly, poses challenges for 911 (or equivalent international number) and emergency services. While you can dial 911 from your mobile phone, you first need to tell the 911 operator where you are calling from (they don’t know since you are on a mobile phone) as compared to calling from your land-line where the 911 operator typically knows your address.
