[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a single mom and I’m really struggling to make ends meet the last few months. I finally made a few big changes:

—I cut the cable, saving us around $150 a month

—I’ve made changes at the grocery store such as buying in bulk, making my own beans, packaging the kids Goldfish, etc, instead of buying single serving convenience bags, shopping the ad, “meatless” meals, etc.

But I’d love to find a way to save a couple hundred more. There is nothing else I can reasonably give up, but I’m open to ANY suggestions for living more frugally/cheaper. [/quote]

Switch cell phone plans. Someone on here recommended this a few months back, and it was a game changer. I switched from T-Mobile family plan at $160 a month to Visible at $75 a month family plan. There is zero difference in service. I tried Mint mobile, which is even cheaper, but their customer service is garbage, and I had too many issues installing it on one of the lines.

Another suggestion is to shop around for gas. This may seem like a Captain Obvious suggestion, but I was notorious for going to Shell and using gas points. I now go to Liberty and come out cheaper there then I did with gas points at Shell.

We did this (switch to Visible) and I have to restart my phone 1-3 times a day to receive text messages. It's terrible.[/quote]
