Saving MoneyLooking to save on your cable bill? Cable costs can really add up, here are a few tips for saving on your cable bill that are super easy to do!

Tip #1 Consider Switching Providers: Do you regularly shop around for the lowest price? Providers often give deep discounts to new subscribers so it makes sense to periodically check what the competition. For example, right now Dish is offering subscriptions as low as $19.99 a month, free installation and even three free months of Premium Channels for new customers. Just go HERE and enter your zip to see what deep discounts are available to you.

Tip #2 Negotiate with Your Current Company: Once you know what the competition is offering, call up your current company to negotiate a lower rate. Companies want to keep you on as a customer so once you know what the competition will offer, you are in a better place to ask for a discount. Call your provider and ask for the customer retention department. There job is to keep you as a happy customer. Let them know you are considering switching providers and see if they can match or beat the competition! Often they can. 😉

Amazon PrimeTip #3 Consider Amazon Prime: If you don’t watch much local programming you may want to consider Amazon Prime.
