Cut Cell Phone Costs and Save Big!
Posted in Spending by Kevin | Tags: save money, UtilitiesMany people do not know that the base plans cell phone companies offer are just enough to cover their costs. The multibillion dollar conglomerates such as Verizon and Sprint make their money by selling you the add-ons. Those extras each month can easily double your bill and over the course of a year cost you hundreds of dollars. That is why it makes sense to pay attention to this as a cost cutting exercise. Here are some cell phone bill charges that you can and should look at in order to see if you can cut and save money.
Reduce your Home Electricity Bill
Posted in General Finance by Kevin | Tags: bill, Electricity, energy, household, Living Expenses, UtilitiesA lot of people don’t know that there are many electricity bill aid programs available for low income residents in their respective states. For example, the state of California offers Low-Income Energy Efficiency (LIEE)
This service includes attic insulation, energy efficient furnaces, energy efficient refrigerators, weatherstripping, caulking, water heater blankets, low-flow shower heads, as well as door and building envelope repairs which reduce air infiltration. These services can help customers in California save on electric and heating bills. Remember, a few dollars of savings can add up big over the long run!
