Like John said, paying so much for CR rubs me the wrong way, so the free blogs will be nice. Thanks for the CR blog links, too!

Thanks for the heads up. I used to subscribe to consumer reports for $5 a month. I had the money subtracted directly from my debit card and I would always forget (or I would be too lazy) to cancel it before the next month rolled around. I do enjoy their product reviews, and saved a substantial amount of money buying their recommended "Kenmore" appliances from Sears over some of the more "trendy" consumer models.

I think its about time that I give CR a chance. Thanks for pointing this out — I didn’t know about the CR Money Blog, but I’ve subscribed now and look forward to following it.

I always go to them before a major purchase. It's nice that the blogs are free because, being a tightwad, I'm conflicted about paying for Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports is great.

It reminds me of when I went to UC Berkeley for school - there was a "tightwad hill" above the football stadium. Full of people who would watch the game for free. I was in the band so I never needed to visit tightwad hill..hehe. I agree, it’s always nice to see how other tightwads work their magic.
