Frugal Tip: Bundle Up!
Recently, I made a few changes to my services to take advantage of bundle discount. If you have the opportunity to make these changes, you could save quite a bit of money.
- Bundle your Internet access, TV, and telephone services – Depending on your area, you may be able to move all these services (may be even your wireless service) to one provider. A few months ago, I switch my Internet, TV, and telephone from Time Warner to Verizon and shaved off about $50 a month. I also got a 19″ flat screen TV as a bonus gift to boot. Not bad for about an hour worth of work.
- Bundle your insurances – After the switch to Verizon, I thought why not try my insurance. I used to have my car insurance with GEICO and home insurance with AllState. After a few phone calls, I settled on moving both my home and car insurance to Liberty Mutual. The move saved me about $1,145 a year.
Now let’s talk about something more valuable than money:
- Bundle your tasks and errands — If you have a couple of things to do, trying to bundle them into one day event and plan your route. This could save you quite a bit of time. You’ll also be saving some money on gasoline, and help the environment.
I hope you enjoy the article, now go make some phone calls and save yourself a bundle of money.
