Buy or Rent Your Cable ModemIf you are a cable internet service subscriber, do you rent or own your cable modem? If you are renting your modem, you could easily save up to $120 a year by purchasing your own modem.

It seems like almost every year that we would receive another letter from the cable companies announcing yet another rate hike, so it is not a big surprise that they also charge a fee to rent the equipment needed to access their internet service.

Your Pricey Bottled Water Is Probably Tap Water

Bottled Water Versus Tap WaterWater used to be free. Actually, it still is. I remember when I first saw bottled water for sale. It seemed like the most inane thing ever.

Shave For Less: Taking A Razor To Shaving Costs

Cartridge Razor vs Double Edge RazorI estimate I’ve been shaving for over 2 decades now. When I started growing facial hair in high school, my father handed me a Gillette Sensor Excel razor which was a free sample that arrived one day in the mail. If you think about it, that is a pretty ingenious marketing strategy if assuming I shaved every other day, replacing the cartridge once a month at $2 each, I would have spent $480 just on the razor cartridges alone over the years.
