LPT Get your moneys worth by going straight to the most expensive food items at a buffet. Have you ever found yourself hungover at a buffet in Las Vegas eating bone marrow, king prawns, and prime rib at 8 in the morning? I certainly have. Buffets often setup the layout so you start filling up your plate with bread, mash potatoes, or some bullshit salad. They try to get you by hoping you’ll fill up fast before getting to the main cou…

LPT Don’t use your school/university email for accounts and subscriptions

( www.reddit.com )

LPT Don’t use your school/university email for accounts and subscriptions I’m sharing a hard-earned lesson: don’t use your school email for non-academic purposes. In the long run, and speaking from experience – I used my school email for various accounts, including Discord, and now that I’ve graduated, I’ve lost access to some accounts. I cannot even verify my accounts because I used my school’s email. The problem? Yo…

LPT always ask for a trial pair of contact lenses Even if you know you want to keep your current brand, ask for a trial pair of something else because you are considering switching. Even if it’s not a perfect match, you can run them for a full month and basically get 7 months for the price of 6, or however many you buy. submitted by /u/Toad_Monument

LPT If you are in the emergency room (ER) in the US, you have the option to negotiate your bill and avoid paying the full amount. Currently on a trip with three doctors who are discussing US ER procedures and prices. They mentioned that ERs often struggle to receive full payment. You can negotiate your bill by calling the hospital, potentially reducing it significantly. For example, my girlfriend negotiated her ex’s $10,000 ER bill down to $4,000 by ensuring immediate paym…

LPT – Improving your US credit score by paying cards early

( www.reddit.com )

LPT – Improving your US credit score by paying cards early If you’re somebody who uses and pays off credit cards regularly, making a large payment just before the closing date will help your score. The major credit card companies report the closing balance to the bureaus, so if you have a large balance every month it hurts you even if you later pay it off. For example, you have a $5K limit and use $3500…

LPT When your kids turn 18 add them to your best credit cards. You don’t have to actually physically give them a card, but you will be giving them a good credit score to start adult life with. I did this for my son and he went from having no credit to 750 in one month.

LPT Place solarpanels east-west instead of south facing If you are planning to have solarpanels, place them facing east or west. The most electricity is used in the morning (when the sun is in the east) and late afternoon (when the sun is in the west). If you can sell your electricity: morning and evening are also the times when the kWh is most expensive. And, sometimes the panels facing south get to…

If you find yourself in a similar situation, Fear Not! When trying to cancel normally it gives you a “pay *too much money* cancellation fee to end your contract early” HOW…

LPT – When shopping online, look to the 4 star reviews for useful information.

( www.reddit.com )

LPT – When shopping online, look to the 4 star reviews for useful information. If you’re checking out the reviews on a product you’re shopping online for, the first instinct is to check how highly reviewed something is by the proportion of 5 star reviews. This is a good start, but it’ll be easier to find informative content among the 4 star reviews (or even 3s). 4 star reviews are more often written by people who like the …
