SAVING MONEY ON CAR REPAIRS
Always wash your car before taking it in for service. Mechanics are more likely to take advantage of you if your car looks like it needs "everything."

BUYING A REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER

CONSULTING FOR PUBLISHERS
If small publishers contact you, they're usually short on time, money, or knowledge. If they call you more than once, they have boxes of unsold books in their garage. If they insist on hiring you, even if you decline, their partner is on their back about wasting money on the publishing venture.

RUNNING ADS ON TV
You should run a TV commercial at least four times a day, four days a week, three weeks a month. If you run it less than that, your ad money would be better spent elsewhere.

MOVING TO A NEW PLACE
The urge to fix up a house you've just moved into is strongest during the first 30 days. To save money, wait for a month before you do any repairs.
