Cutting costs – go me!
My husband and I decided today that we need to examine what on our cable bill we can cut back on to drop the costs a bit. We decided since we really don’t watch our movie channels very often, that we can cut those out of the bill.
We were able to drop our bill by $36 by doing this. We have our phone, internet & cable all bundled together and have a discount because of the bundle, but our phone is billed separately. We apparently have the lowest tier of phone service to be able to qualify for the discount (which is another $32), so there wasn’t anything we could drop on the phone service and not lose the discount, but the customer service rep offered 10% off our entire bill (all 3 services combined) for the next six months because we’ve been customers for so long.
Score! That’s another $12.50 off for the next six months. Woohoo!
So, we’re currently saving about $30 off our electric bill since it was lowered a few months ago, and now another $48 off our cable bill. I’m not really sure what else we can cut back on. Our cell phones are already at the minimum options for those… Oh well. Maybe tomorrow I will check my with-holdings on my paycheck and see if I’m maxed out on that, and if I am, drop it down a level or two on both Fed & State. That will get a little more $ on my paychecks. I just hope I’m at 0 like I think I am so I can drop down to 1…
