But there’s really no need to shell out a bunch of cash every month to do it. Read on to learn ways to … [Read more...]

Air is all around us, so it should be free right? You would think so, but it’s usually not when it comes to filling your car’s tires. The pumps used to pump air into your tires cost money to operate (albeit not a huge cost in electricity), so many gas stations and grocery stores with them choose to charge a fee to use them. The fee also prevents people from hogging the compressor to blow up other inflatable things that aren’t intended for use with the machines. While it makes sense to an extent, it’s still an inconvenience when you’re in a pinch and need … [Read more...]
