How you can save on your monthly bills?
the simple answer is, stop buying thing you dont need , and the second one is , stop buying thing you never use , and stop buying thing thinking that you can pay them monthly , dont think that paying a small amount each month is something easy , when you have many small things all put together they become something heavy .
check you power supply , are you on the best tariff ?
check your internet subscription , is it the best ISP? if it is then is this the best deal they have?
check your phone contract, do you really need a contract ? while you have another option the pay as you go , specially that you can find free internet where ever you go now days
check you store, is it the best place to shop for groceries ?
visiting the same place for long time makes you miss many things that change in other stores . imagine one item you used to buy 1 $ if you visit other place you might find just 0.6 cents "thats just an example" the real example is cheese , in one store the kg is 4.84 . in another not so far from that its 4.23
check out all your service subscriptions , do you really need them?
are you really using them ? or its just you used to have that renewed automatically and you just use it ones a while ,,,
if you have internet you can find any thing , every thing , just you need to check your needs , the real ones, so you can really get rid of the bills that you dont really need and at least save them for a vacation ,

Great tips! I had been practicing some of the methods myself for years since i am trying to save more for house renovation. Things are getting more expensive now, i am always trying to spend less and only buy things that are necessary. Besides that, i prefer to cook and eat at home more frequently nowadays.

exactly , if you keep up with them and see when your contract is ending and you search for other providers and you can call your provider and ask them if you want to end the contract , they will give you good offers , but dont wait for bills to come schedule it and you will save big time

you need to chose the times you visit your store, try it in different times of the day , try to visit it early morning and late and mid day , you will sure find the times when the things you need is on sale or price is reduced, and one other thing is , to make a list of what you need to buy and dont ever buy things other than whats on the list ,

You are so right! Maybe I find it right because that´s what I do and it works for me. I live on a budget by choice because if I do it I can save enough money for my only luxury: a good vacation every year.

We stopped paying for cable. Netflix and Hulu give us the best deal and you really can stream almost anything on television from different sites.
