Fifteen Great Websites That Saved Me Money in 2010

At the start of 2010, I decided to start an ongoing list of websites that directly saved me money with the intent of sharing that list (and my money-saving experiences with each entry) when the list hit fifteen sites in length (perfect for a good post – not too few and not too many). I fired up OneNote (my default note-taking app) and just started jotting down any experiences I had where a website directly saved me money. It only took until mid-April to reach that count. Here they are – the fifteen websites that have directly saved me money… Read the whole article...

American Express Extended Warranty Review

If you’re like me, you’re vaguely aware that you can get some sort of additional warranty coverage from your credit card, but not interested enough to carefully read those little brochures with the tiny print that come in the mail.

It’s a bit long-winded, but in the end AmEx did refund his original $300 purchase price. After reading it and doing… Read the whole article...

By Sierra Black Dear Wainwright Bank, You appear to have stolen my grocery money.

I showed my bank statements to a manager at your Davis Sq branch and asked her to explain what had happened. Her explanation was long and convoluted. Ultimately she gave me to understand that: my bank statement is not an accurate reflection of the transactions on my account you don’t process any transactions… Read the whole article...
