Reduced my Cable/Internet

November 13th, 2024 at 12:26 pm

Reduced my internet and cable bill by $50. 

 

I initially cancelled my cable years ago; however, when I switched internet provider there was a special for limited cable. Well that special ended and my monthly bill went to $180 ridiculous. 

 

 Yesterday while calling for my mom, I decided to reduce my bill and had the rep to remove the limited cable service. My new internet bill is $129. My company reimburses me. 

 

I don’t know why but I feel as though things are going to get a little more expensive. 2025 is the year that I really want my student loans gone and any other debt I owe. I want to bump my savings as well.

    I agree that things will get more expensive.

    There are usually very good sales in the 6 weeks between now and the end of the year.
    Think about β€˜investing’ in paper goods (toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, sanitary product), soap (laundry and dish detergent, cleaning supplies), and shelf stable food. If you usually buy fresh fruit and vegetables, think about whether canned would meet some of your needs. Flour, sugar are usually well priced and properly stored, will last.

    On the first weekend in December Target sells gift cards 10% off. If you shop there, it is worth buying the maximum ($500) sets you up to save 10% every time. If you give gift cards as gifts, get them in $10 or $25 denominations - what you don’t give away, you can use them.

    Great idea Lots of Ideas. Ives been considering stocking up on items, your comment just validates that I should. Regarding Target, thanks for the reminder.

    I have not subscribed to cable in many years, but I recently downgraded my streaming subscription from a unlimited, full fledge, no commercials one to unlimited but with commercials. It reduced to my monthly charge by 55%.

    I do plan to do some stock up shopping this weekend and the next. Starting a stock up in 2020 was a necessity of survival, because there were shortages on everything with no end in sight. I have continued that practice, but at a lower gradient. If I see something that I use a lot on sale, I will usually buy some.

    Oh yeah, Spectrum is notorious for doing promotions like that, and then sneaking in their "original price" when you least expect it.

    The cable/streaming situation is just so insane right now.
