Cutting some fat

September 2nd, 2009 at 05:53 am

My cell phone bill in August was 50 euro - about 30 euro higher than normal and I don't really know why... so I'm gonna investigate some options and see if I can get a better price plan - I should be able to get a plan to cover my needs for about 20 a month.... up until now I've just been topping up as required but I think I need to get a fixed price plan in place and then incorporate that into my budget.

TV... I seldom watch TV... maybe 1 or 2 hours a week.... if there is something worth watching on... I work evenings so don't get to see primetime TV...
I currently pay 16 a month for TV... maybe I can lose this ? And then I won't have to pay the annual 160 euro TV License fee either...

The tv programs you do watch - have you checked to see if they're available online? If so, (and you have high-speed internet) then it might make your answer much easier.

Great thought ! I'll have to research where I can watch programmes online - if possible..

On the cell phone front, I may have found a plan that covers my needs for 10 a month - they give you 10 euro free a month extra....

I agree on cutting out television, so much content is online now that it leads to being able to save some money. Funny, our phone bill was higher this month, too, and I can't figure out why. There's no insurance against that when friends call from another country, though, which I hate... don't call my MOBILE from France!!! =/
