I have confessed in the past to being a news freak.

You go girl. I don't even cable. I never seem to get time to watch it and for the kids we watch movies from my store for free or they play their X-box video games. I don't have that kind of radio either although I did enjoy it when I had it in my truck that I got rid of, probably not enough to subscribe again though. I am not very good at phoning to get a reduced rate on anything. Car insurance here is public so there is no use in shopping around, there is no choice in the matter. I would love to get my house insurance reduced but I'm too lazy to wait on the phone to get quotes. It sounded cheap when I originally got it then they just kept increasing the amount as I gave more details....rural property so we have to pay more for emergency services. We have a stove in the basement, things like that. So it is costly. Ho hum. Stupid insurance!

Norma I agree!


Next month I am done with my contract for cable, phone, internet so I am going to reduce some of the plans that I don't use and see about getting some discounts. I currently pay around $225 for cable (HD and PVR), internet (Highest speed possible b/c my sister is in school), phone (totally overpaying on this one) and cell (I have a great deal because its still a corporate plan even though I haven't been with the company in years --> I am going to see if the cable,net,phone company can match it so I can take advantage of a bundling discount) My goal is to get this sucker down to between $150 and $175 by August.


Fingers crossed!
