*Here's
how it works: For example, you can rent-to-own an LG 42-inch plasma
TV for as little as $22.99 a week. You can return the TV any time if
you don't want to keep it. But in order to own it, you need to make
78 payments or a total of $1,793. That compares to a retail price of
$446 on Amazon.com. http://money.cnn.com/2013/11/07/pf/rent-to-own/
