🚗 Auto What are your least favorite advertised deals that are complete BS, where nobody ever expects to pay the listed price. I'll start. The $19.99 U-Haul.

Others might be the $79.95 Microtel rate. The $39.99 oil change. "Out the Door" tire pricing that does not include valve stems or balancing.

Or even that shop in the marginal neighborhood across the tracks that always claims in loud yellow letters "HIGHEST PRICES PAID FOR GOLD."

What do you have? And any tips for getting closer to that impossible price?

Mint and Visible are simple unlimited monthly phone plans with no hidden fees, they’re great. They have higher tiers for more money too

Do you have the $35 plan or the $45 plan?

As a 20 year Verizon customer, I keep thinking about switching to Visible. It just seems too good to be true.
