Each year, I go through this whole ordeal of how expensive it is, should I get one, if it’s worth the money, and all that stuff.  Then I pay the fee and don’t really think much about it until the next bills comes.  The cycle starts again.  lol

Last year, I was going to get rid of the tag.  I was convinced that it wasn’t worth the money, but then someone told me that I’d have to pay an additional fee to switch plates. Errrr!  I kept my tag another year.

This year, I took my renewal form to DMV and asked if I would be charged to switch to a non-personalized tag and the lady told me “no”.  Fabulous!  I quickly told her I would like to cancel the personalized tag.  This saved me $30!  Yay!  My husband still said the tag was worth the $30.  lol

I was sitting here this morning trying to think of how we got so in to our tags.  Now I remember that it started when we lived in Virginia.  Personalized tags were fairly inexpensive there.  When we moved to NC, we just kept the personalized thing going.

Funny how we don’t think about certain expenses and keep going along with them because we always have.

I’d like to give you all a frugal challenge for this week.  Think of something that you can eliminate that costs you money.  It’s probably something that you don’t even think about.  This can be caller id, call waiting, extra cell phone minutes, or something like that.  Let me know how you do.
