It’s time to trim the fat on your expenses.

Renting a car this summer? You may want to skip the added insurance at the rental counter. If you already have car insurance on your own vehicle, you are probably covered.
It’s tempting to purchase travel insurance, but it’s pricey and not easy to cash in if you cancel. A travel rewards credit card will likely pay for lost luggage, delays or cancellations.
Your homeowners or rental insurance may cover stolen or lost items when traveling domestically.
Also, stay away from extended warranties offered by a retailer. For most appliances and devices, they are a waste of money as the manufacturer has a good warranty.
