Reduce your appliance rental bills
By Value hunter on Dec 27, 2009 | In Money chat, In the home, Frugal victories
Do you rent any appliances?
A few people I know rent washing machines, tumble dryers, TV and freeview recorder boxes, etc. (I rent my TV/recorder box equipment)
Did you know for the price of a phone call, you can reduce the monthly cost of these at least twice a year?
Every 6 months or so, I ring up my rental company and get them to check on the list prices of my rental equipment, more often than not, the prices have fallen by around £4 a month, so my prices are reduced and I pay less.
Doesn't sound much I agree, but that £4 a month equals £48 a year extra in my family's pocket per year!
That's almost half my TV license, two and a half weeks free fresh meat from our farmer butcher, almost 4 weeks free fruit and veg, a months free milk from our local farmer milkman, etc.
The rental companies do not get many people phoning them up asking for a price check for existing customers, so make good profits off their customers.
Little victories = big savings!
