Frugal Friday!

Frugal Friday: cut the cable!

When Warrick was 4 months old, I started working part-time.  I had been working full-time before then so we knew we'd have to do a lot of cut-backs to make it work.  One of the first things we did was cut the cable.  We had been spending around $60 per month with directv.

And we've never looked back... we love not having cable.  We would watch a lot more TV if we still had cable.  We spent $5 on a converter box and $60 on an antenna.  And we get about 26 channels.  There are a couple shows I enoy watching on TLC and abcfamily that I still watch, but I can watch them online for free.  We also have a netflix account that my brother got me for my birthday, thanks Ryan!!!  So we definitely aren't feeling "deprived" and we are saving $720 per year.

And... who needs cable when your kids provide you with plenty of entertainment??  :)



Happy Frugal Friday!!!
