The rentometer is great. However I live in Marin County and rent everywhere here is ridiculous as it is.

Thanks for sharing Find a Better Bank. I’m checking it out now and looking forward to the results.

There are a number of reasons I’d like to say THANK YOU to makeuseof.com…after finding the site I spent about three weeks off and on, several hours each time, looking at the entire archive. I now have 9 folders of bookmarks of amazing stuff and the number is growing!

But this posting in particular is timed perfectly. Last month I was fired from a job of 17 years and was forced to move to a new town out of necessity. Luckily I have great friends in the real world as well as great cyber-friends. So the other day I walk into a Bank of XXXXXX to see about starting savings and checking accounts and they wanted $18.95 per month in monthly fees and I’d have to pay for checks. You know the typical banking scam! And then I got your e-mail that included FIND A BETTER BANK. And I did! Free checking, free checks, free bill pay, no additional ATM fee, free on-line banking, and on-line sign up for both accounts available with both accounts available at physical banking locations. Total cost per month $4, the same as the credit union I used to belong to!

Thanks again for all the great stuff you guys find and send our way!

Even better than skyscanner is http://www.dohop.com. It cleverly combines routes from low cost and legacy airlines, finding you routes that you may not find in other places. Saves you both money and time.

I guess it depends on the route. Skyscanner works pretty well for flights within in Asia and Europe.

Another free site you want to check out is http://www.zilpy.com. Zilpy provides free services for rental stats and one place for checking out rentals that are currently on the market and see have prices changed over the year.

As a landlord I find both rentometer.com and rentomatic.com to be very useful. I highly recommend them.

I tried skyscanner. Not only does it not search all budget airlines (only selected ones), but it mixes the results with the likes of British Airways and KLM. The prices are cached, so you only get live price if you refresh each particular day. Hence, you are never sure to get the best deal if you are flexible on dates. I found that if you are happy to do some research yourself, sites like http://www.flightmapping.com (in the UK) and http://www.whichbudget.com (worldwide) are the best.
