This just in! The cost to send your new born to an in-state public college 18 years from now will be at least $163,890. This according to the college calculator at money.com. This is the estimate for a 4 year public college, nothing special, not ivy league. Are you as shocked as I am?

In this post, I will give you three real life examples of why you should bother to register for rebates. And, I will also share how our family combines multiple discounts to maximize the bang for our purchasing buck. Ready? Of course you are!

How many times have you been enticed into purchasing something because of a nice fat mail in rebate? After tearing open your new prized possession, the rebate quickly fades into oblivion. Sound familiar. You’re not alone. That’s why manufacturers do mail in rebates. They get the psychological benefit of a great sale, without having to pony up. It’s a Vegas-esque numbers game, with the “house” favored to win. They know that the majority of consumers will not follow through to get the rebate. Don’t be a statistic. Well if you want to be a statistic, don’t be part of that statistic. Capiche?
