Money Move of the Week: Video everything in your house! This way if there is something like a fire that damages some of your goods, you'll have everything recorded for your insurance company.

Not only do you save money, but you also stop these items from winding up in a landfill somewhere! Check out this map to see if you have a repair café near you!
