Taxact tax software offers free federal filing -- it's completely free, there is not an e-filing fee like so many others. However, they do charge a fee if you need to file state taxes in addition to your federal income tax return.

Did you know that if you get pulled over by the police for something being broken on your car (e.g. cracked bumper, broken or burnt out lights, etc.) you can get out of the ticket if the cop car shares a similar problem? This was tested successfully in the state of Illinois, it may work in your state also.

You've heard about renting a tuxedo, but how about renting a handbag or jewelry? The website Bagborroworsteal.com does just that for brand names such as David Yurman, Tiffany, Chanel and Gucci. It's like the Netflix of accessories, in that you shop for your items online, receive them and return them in the mail. You can pay by the week, the month or if you can't part with it, you can buy it and keep it forever.

They don't run their own website, they don't advertise their internal customer service number and they try to screw you into thinking you're getting a discount when you use their coupons. Do you really want to buy sporting goods from a store like this? Check out the link below where our friends at Consumerist divulge the details. The more you know, the better off you are!

Free motorcycle parking is as easy as removing the license plate. Just be sure to not park in a tow away zone. You can even get away with parking on sidewalks with this tip. After speaking with a small sample of city employed (parking ticket writers) meter maids, I found that most of them are reluctant or even scared to look for the VIN number on a motorcycle / scooter because they do not want to be accused of touching (e.g. potentially damaging) the bike. Note: This works in New York as well.
