[quote=Anonymous]I did the following:

- Just switched to Verizon Fios internet only which will save $70 per month.  Going to bring my cell phone over.
- Called NYT to end my subscription to digital paper and games and they cut it from $23 to $4 per month for next year so $228 saved.
- Called the Economist to end subscription and they cut it from about $240 to $120 for the next year.
-  Cancelled Washington Post as we don't have time to read it right now.
- Reviewed my credit cards and developed a 2 year strategy.  Applied for 3 new cards to get sign up bonuses/points and extra points on particular classes of expenditure.  Still have one new card to get.  Calculated savings will be $3,075 in 2 years.  BUT need to strictly stick to plan about when to cancel cards since they have annual fees.
- Keeping an eye on craigslist and facebook marketplace for furniture deals.  Have scored great deals.
- Placed a bulk order from Total Wine for the wine we typically drink.  Each bottle is about $4 cheaper that at our local liquor store so figure we will save about $300 over a year.
