When I sit and watch something at my mother's home, I am disgusted with the near pornographic images that are just in the commercials. We pick and choose what we like to watch from Netflix or from YouTube. We don't miss TV at all, and plus, we save a bundle.Danielle Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306674300367273732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539168354110016201.post-16602371476030528112012-10-20T13:12:24.280-04:002012-10-20T13:12:24.280-04:00We used to pay $97 for cable, internet and phone. ...We used to pay $97 for cable, internet and phone. As of 5 months ago it wen up to $110. But we have 5 tv's hooked up so there are a few extra charges per set but this is our most expensive bill and I hate its guts. You can probably cut back if you do a prepaid cell and not the one with minutes. Get the ones that are unlimited. In our area those are $40-$50 per line. Since we have a plan me and the girls pay $90 for three phones. But they aren't smart phones, just regular ones. It's getting hard figuring out where else we can cut back isn't it?smashbravohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03157526840833438033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539168354110016201.post-3078459910627880452012-10-19T15:44:07.118-04:002012-10-19T15:44:07.118-04:00I pay more than I would like for cable but hubby c...I pay more than I would like for cable but hubby can not give up his channelsDebi@The Spring Mount 6 Packhttp://thespringmount6pack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539168354110016201.post-32438682967959715172012-10-19T14:08:24.501-04:002012-10-19T14:08:24.501-04:00We have 100 or so channels and I pay about $60 a m...We have 100 or so channels and I pay about $60 a month.

For that we get what's called broadcast basic, all the major networks plus a couple of extras like WGN and ION. That also includes our internet service. If you have almost any type of video game system you can stream Netflix through that for 8.99 a month. We also picked up a Roku for the other TV so that the kids can play their games in the other room while we stream a movie. <br /><br />For phone service we bought an Ooma. You can't use this if you don't have cable internet so it helps justify the web. Once you've got the ooma your calls are free. The downside is the up front cost is about $200 dollars but there is a referral code (WOK8626) that will take $40 dollars off and pay for the shipping. Once that's in place all you pay is taxes. Our monthly bill with them is under 5 dollars. <br /><br />Shoot me a note if you have questions and I'll help if I can. katbur2win@yahoo.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04328162067379172508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539168354110016201.post-58012111896337006602012-10-19T09:04:58.448-04:002012-10-19T09:04:58.448-04:00I think they all screw you, no matter who you go t...I think they all screw you, no matter who you go through.
