It's that time again (Spring Cleaning) a time when you clean your house out getting rid of too little things (see my article:what to do with your Kids clothes that are too small) and give away things. I myself today am doing the same thing by bagging up my clothes I don't want anymore or my daughter clothes that are too little and taking them to consignment, giving away some and of items to Goodwill. I don't have much but what we do, we share our blessings with others.
This is the time of year I also look at my bills and see what I can do to make my bills lower. I have personally already saved almost $800 this year by doing this. I am about to do this for my utilities as well. Here are some tips to help you.
1. Take your time this is not a marathon. If it takes you a few days so be it the savings will be worth it.
2. Look at all bills including the cellphone bill companies are paying for you to get out of your contract or would a prepay option be better for you.
3. Way the cons and pros of changing what you currently have right now.
4. Check out at least 3 options before deciding to stay with your company.
5. Check with the company you have once you get estimates that may be a better offer alot of times the company will lower your bill to keep you.
