Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
The items are chosen from an online survey of 10,328 American shoppers, following a "rigorous" process including product selection, category definition, and research. Read on to learn more about all of the winners.

Get your paycheck up to 2 days early with their Early Payday feature.1 <p>With Early Payday, Alliant Credit Union may make incoming electronic direct deposits made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) available for use up to two days before the scheduled payment date. Not all direct deposits are eligible for Early Payday. Early availability of direct deposits is not guaranteed and may vary from deposit to deposit. Early access to funds is dependent on submission of direct deposit by payor and standard fraud prevention restrictions. Whether we make funds available early depends on when we receive the payor’s payment instructions, any limitations we set on the amount of early availability, and standard fraud prevention screening. Available for personal accounts only. Eligible direct deposits are limited to electronic direct deposits of items such as your payroll, pension, and government benefit payments made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) to your personal account. Other deposits or credits to your account, such as deposits of funds from person-to-person payment services (e.g., Zelle®, Venmo, or PayPal transfers), check or mobile deposits, and other online transfers or electronic credits are not eligible for Early Payday.</p>
<p>If Alliant makes funds available early through Early Payday and the payor reverses or requests a return of the deposit, or the funds are otherwise uncollected by Alliant, Alliant may debit your account for the deposit amount previously made available early, which may draw your account negative.</p>
If you didn't already know, some Aldi locations have a robust wine selection. If you're lucky enough to live near one of these stores, then you have to pick up their Specially Selected Cabernet Sauvignon.
Aged 14 months in French oak, this velvety wine is rich yet affordable. Aldi suggests pairing it with blue cheese for the ultimate wine and cheese duo.
Along with the Best New Product Awards, the Products of the Year are based on consumer responses, determined from a survey of over 40,000 shoppers. These items are also compared to popular brand alternatives.

October is here, bringing crisp air, cozy vibes, and the countdown to Halloween. As the season shifts, so do the savings, making it the perfect time to refresh your home, wardrobe, and pantry with autumn-ready finds. Look for deals on:
Cold-weather layers
Fall decor and seasonal home goods
Halloween costumes, candy, and party supplies
For grocery savings, grab peak-fall produce, like apples, squash, cranberries, and sweet potatoes
With holiday prep just around the corner, October is a great time to stock up early, take advantage of early seasonal promos before the big rush begins, and ease into the year-end rush with smart buys.

Quick tips: How to save on your grocery bill

Grocery shopping doesn't have to break the bank when you use the right strategies. Here are three quick tips for reducing food expenses:
Buy store brands instead of name brands whenever possible.
Always make sure to compare unit prices, not just sticker prices.
Join your store's loyalty program so you don’t miss out on member discounts.
Even though something like choosing coupons in your grocery store app can feel like an annoying task, the savings can really add up.
Park Street Deli Atomic Spicy Pickles
Courtesy of Aldi
Price: $3.85
Pickles fans, this one's for you. Your fellow pickle lovers voted this product as one of Aldi's Products of the Year, so you know it has to be good. Compare this to Grillo's Pickles Hot Dill Pickle Spears, which are $7.29 at Target.
"These are amazing! I have [three] containers in my fridge, love them!" raves one customer on Reddit.
Skip your basic boring spreads and opt for one of Aldi shoppers' favorite items of the year: a spinach parmesan tzatziki blend. Dip your favorite chips or raw veggies into this delicious creamy snack, made with fresh spinach leaves.
It's a steal compared to Target's Tzatziki Yogurt Dip for $5.19.
