Nothing will survive a salt water gargle. Most primitive tribes have beautiful teeth. And they don't even got tooth brushes. Dental health, I've read from reliable sources, is mainly a dietary problem not a toothbrush/flouride problem. Really, your mouth will feel much more clean gargling and rinsing with salt water. It'll also help a lot preventing throat infections and colds. Which will save you from sick days from work, which equals more money. Stop buying toothpaste?

I don't use Q-tips, instead I just wash my ears with water when I shower (with a washcloth). And my ears are just as clean as my GF's, even though she uses Q-tips. And unless you have a new car you really don't need full coverage. It's nice, but I have yet to know anyone who got back more than they put into the policy. Just roll the savings from that into your emergency fund and you will be okay. Now if you have a NEW car with a loan, the cost of replacement for the first 2-3 years could get a little outrageous (plus you have to finish paying it off...). So if you have a car with a loan attached, it's usually a good idea to have full coverage. But TBH, 99% of us should be driving used anyway. :-) Agreed, a lot of things people do without really knowing why.

Sometimes I will just carry the boxes out to the trash without even trying...like when I order pizza. Can't drop the insurance on my car yet because I am still paying the loan.
