Give Your Business a Utilities Check-Up and Save

I know the last thing you probably want to be doing is calling utility companies if you don't have to, but scheduling a few minutes every six months or so to check your utility rates can save you money. I've been doing this for a couple of years and have never failed to save at least $20/month. Today, I saved a whopping $65/month.

Yes, in a perfect world, the phone company, gas company, and cable people would let you know if they lower their rates, but they rarely, if ever happens. So, if you ask for a lower rate, there's a good change you'll get one. If you carry a balance on your credit card, now's a good time to call them too. They might just lower your interest rate.
