Baby, I'm on a roll! After cancelling my home phone service, I decided to consider a few other options. Here are three additional cuts I made today. Looks like my student loans will be paid off in no time!
1. Remove mobile insurance - I pay $6/mo to insure my phone, but I'm already eligible for a new phone under Verizon's new-every-two plan. As a result, if anything happens to my existing mobile, I can get a new one free, so why pay for the insurance, which will cost me about $85.00 USD for the deductible if used? NEXT!
2. Turn off electronics - call me weird, but we all know that electronics are power suckers, so I've started unplugging everything in the morning while I brush my teeth. Either I stand in the mirror looking at myself (boring) or I take 30 seconds to save myself some green while being green.
3. Bring coffee to work - By bringing my coffee or waking up in time to enjoy a cup of joe on the balcony before work, I'm (on average) saving about $25.00 a month. If I do buy, McDonald's coffee is on $1.11 (including tax) vs. the $4.00+ on Starbucks. I'm obviously partial to McD's, but seriously, as a black-no cream-no sugar gal, I'm just not a fan of Starbuck's overroasted aftertaste (to each their own).
Share you tips, if you would, and have a great weekend!
