Today I saved $200 without having to use a coupon or spend any money. How did I do it you ask? I shall tell you.
The Dodge truck’s air conditioning unit has been blowing warm air the last little bit and after everyone, well mainly Cyndi and Judy, cleaned the garage out I found my A/C tool and two bottles of R-134a refrigerant. After using one 18oz bottle on my truck and a little bit of the second bottle my truck is now blowing nice and cold air. It would have cost me about $100 to take it to a shop and have them recharge the A/C refrigerant. So where did the other $100 of savings come from?
After Cyndi and I returned from Shelby’s district race; Shelby ran a 5 min 24 second mile which was a personal record for her, I noticed that her A/C wasn’t blowing as cold as it should have. After hooking up the gauge to her unit, she was a little bit low as well so I used what was left in the second bottle and now it’s blowing colder than my truck!
$200 saved. I am the savings miser!

Don’t you need a license to have/use that AC gear?
No. You can buy the gauges at any car parts store or (my favorite place) Harbor Freight tools.
