So far we have canceled cable and use Netflix on demand only. We were lucky to have an XBOX 360 that was given to us for Christmas for the kids one year by Grandma that we can use to play Netflix on our tv. We canceled the newspaper to save $36.00. We also recently switched from Sprint to Virgin Moble for our cell phones. We have android phones we had to buy upfront, but they have already paid for themselves. We pay $55.00 per month on a month to month basis to have unlimited talk, text, email, and web. It is nice to have all the features I use without being stuck in a contract.
Trying to cut bills is harder thatn I thought it would be
So we looked at our bills and tried to change them into our favor.
It was harder than I thought. We researched before getting them the extras like cable internet and cell phones to get what we wanted at a good deal.
So trying to lower them today was not very fruitful.
Take cable and internet for one. We could lower them by about 8 dollars a month. We had a old plan and the new plans were way more expensive and come with contracts. So for that 8 a month we would lose the DVR have to rent their modem have limited internet and lose most of our tv channels.
Cell phone was similar.
Electric, gas, water, and trash there is no choice you get what you you get. To lower your bills you just have to watch how much you use.
Man, we were just to good from the get go and can't lower the bills now.
Have yet to figure out how we will lower the monthly out go.
