Bills, Bills, Bills....how to save

We all would love to shave a little off of our monthly bills, but how can you do it? Some bills are obvious...cable, phone, etc., but how about those other bills that seem set in their costs?

1. Pay life insurance yearly and car insurance semi-annually. This will save in processing fees!

2. Look into auto-payments. Some companies give discounts for setting up an auto-pay.

3. Increase your deductible (if it's financially feasible)

4. If cancelling your cable isn't something you desire, then look at ways to trim your bill. Getting rid of premium channels and using netflix or redbox, is going to save you LOTS of money. Can you slow down your internet or take extra features off of your phone?

5. I recently read that by putting all of your electronics on an energy saving power strip, you can save up to $40 a month!! Amy vouched for this one! We'll be doing this in our family, and I can't wait to start saving!


How else do you trim your monthly bills??
