"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." — J.R.R. Tolkien
" I cut the cable cord more than a year ago and am sorry I didn’t do it sooner. I also canceled all the streaming services I was paying for. This added up to thousands of dollars a year. Now, I use an antenna and free streaming services. I have more content now that I actually watch than I did before. Most of the cable channels that were included in my package offered nothing that interested me, and I never watched them." Clark Howard

Tips:
get your local channels using an over the air antenna
Supplement the antenna with cheap Internet programming like Netflix or Hulu
Look for discounts on your current plan: Check if your provider is offering any promotions or discounts on your current plan. You can also negotiate with your provider to get a better deal. If keeping a pay TV subscription... do a comparison shopping.. call all of them ask them for their best offer in writing or look for best offers in the mail or online...then call the cancellation department ... ask for supervisor and ask for the better deal
Minimize equipment: If you have multiple TVs in your home, consider using fewer set-top boxes or DVRs. You can also return any unused equipment to your provider to save money.
get a Roku which is a streaming player and give you access to a huge choice or online programming. You can also try Amazon Fire
Make a list of all the TV channels you watch on regular basis and find an Internet delivered pay programming that has all or most of your favorite channels by checking Clark.com (see below)
Bundle services: Consider bundling your TV, internet, and phone services with one provider. This can help you save money on your monthly bill or do the opposite..
Do not bundle in one package your TV, home phone and Internet. You end up stuck with a 1-2 year contract unable to negotiate better deals for each service when they come up.
Downsize your plan: Evaluate your current TV package and see if you can downgrade to a lower-tier package that still meets your needs.
Switch providers: If you’re not happy with your current provider, consider switching to a new one that offers better rates or promotions.
Stream your TV: Consider streaming TV shows and movies online instead of paying for cable or satellite TV. There are many streaming services available, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.
Try FREE ad-supported streaming services: Hoopla and Kanopy (using public library card), Amazon IMDbTV (for older movies and TV shows), PlutoTV, Roku channel (using a roku streaming player), Sony Crackle Plus, SnagFilms, Tubi, Vudu(look for selection of free movies),YouTube (look for the free to watch section)
Cancel your cable (or satellite TV) subscriptions in order to save money now that Web sites such as www.Hulu.com are making it possible to watch movies and TV shows in their entirety for free.
Looking for a replacement for pay TV... try Sling TV. They have different packages . You can also use a Roku | Streaming TV & Media Player
or a smart TV using the above.

QUOTES:
"I went to my local cable company’s office to request information be updated. While they were doing that, the saleswoman gave me a new ‘deal’ which reduces my monthly charge by $40! That’s $480 a year in ’savings.' The deal was not advertised, but because I went in, she offered it to me. No change in services, either. Note: I had talked with the company on the phone, but only when I went in was I offered the new contract. So always ask if there are better arrangements/prices for your services. As a rule of thumb, I’ve found that cable companies often have specials, unadvertised, but they will show them to you if you ask. So do ask every year or so. Sometimes going in to an office in person is the best way to get a better deal. My 15 minutes spent were definitely worth the money." Marilyn from Dollar Stretcher Tips
