Many people, like myself, are always are the look out to save a buck. Well, today I learned about a great way to save BIG BUCKS and I would like to pass this information along. I would like to do some more research into all of the services that this place of business offers. Okay, many of you may already know of some of these services and for some this may be all new information. So, what is this magnificent business that can help keep some of that hard earned money in our pockets? Drum roll please……ICC.
A few years ago my mother-in-law told me she comes to ICC to get her teeth cleaned and x-rayed, since her insurance only pays for cleanings once a year. ICC provides teeth cleaning, fluoride treatments, and x-rays all for $12. That’s crazy. Even if you have insurance, your copay is more than likely more than that. Dental hygiene students perform these services under the supervision of a dentist. Granted, the process takes longer than if you were to go to your dentist’s office, but, if you get your teeth cleaned twice a year, the savings can add up. My mother-in-law says that the students do a VERY thorough job, sometimes even better than services provided from her dentist office.
Now let me tell you about the big savings I learned about today. A girl I work with needs a new engine. She went to the car dealership where she purchased the vehicle and they quoted her $7000. She then went to a mechanic that someone referred and he quoted her $5000, and that is just for labor. Well god love her dad, he told her to call Maintenance Mechanic Technology at ICC. She did and is going to save oodles of dough. All she has to do is buy the part; there will be no charge for labor.
Based off this information, I think ICC should steal Geico's famous stack of money with the eyeballs on top, and the song, “I always feel like, somebody’s watching me” as their new slogan.
Great post, Brandie. Here are a couple other fun "perks." Sometimes the massage therapy students give cheap massages. And, I think almost every Monday night, the culinary students prepare amazing dinners up at the North campus for $8 for a multi-course meal!
