Money Saving Fools

For a while now it has bothered me how much we pay for the basic "necessities" like our TV, Internet, home phone. Things that I have wanted to cancel or go without, but we enjoy them way to much. I hate when it comes time to pay our bills and I see all our money disappear. So I decided that I would make some phone calls to see if there was a way we could save money on these things.
To my surprise these companies were more then willing to give us a discount. All I had to do is ask for it! We did not have to change any of our services or down grade on the options we were already enjoying.

Here's the wrap up:

SAVINGS

  • Home phone $10 a month
  • Customer loyalty credit for 3 months $30
  • TV $10 a month
  • Internet $17 a month

We were also able to refinance on the car loan we have to save us another $50 a month.

Total Savings $117.00 a month!

Wahoo!!! I love keeping the money in my pocket.
