Money Saving Tips - Part Fifteen

1. Hire a haggler. Companies such as BillFixers and Shrinkabill will haggle with your cable TV company or other service providers for one-third to half of your first-year savings. BillFixers claims it saves clients an average of $300 per year.                         
2. Beef up your computer. Many PCs include only 4GB of DRAM, the active memory used when your computer is on. Add another 4GB ($33) for smoother operation. Then add a solid - state drive ($114) for more and faster storage. Save $500 or more compared with a new computer.                                                                     
3. Add digital coupons to your supermarket loyalty card. At Kroger.com, for example, digital coupons range from $1 off Hefty trash bags to $3 off Tide detergent. Save $10 per week with these coupons, or $520 a year.                                                 
4. Pick your flights carefully. The cheapest days to fly are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. FareCompare.com revealed that a Boston to Las Vegas round trip cost $500 from Friday to Sunday but $228 from Saturday to Wednesday. You save: $272.
