Top 5 Ways to Save Money On Your Cable Bill in 2015
With all the digital media available these days, why are we spending so much money on our cable bill? As the price of cable continues to rise and the quality of service declines now is a good time to cut the cord and get rid of cable or at the very least trim your package. With Netflix, Hulu Plus, VUDU, Mohu, and Amazon Prime you really don’t need cable anyway. Your favorite shows are often only a click away and often for a much better price. You can also watch your favorite shows from anywhere and not just from home.
Here are some services to consider if you want to start the year off frugally:
- Netflix
Netflix has monthly plans starting as low as $7.99. With Netflix you can instantly stream video from a library of over 100,000 movies!
- Hulu Plus
Hulu Plus is another alternative to cable. With Hulu’s inventory of movies and TV shows you can enjoy classic and current programming for a fraction of the price of cable.
- VUDU
VUDU is a great pay-per-use service for renting movies. New releases usually start at $3.99 which is cheaper than most cable companies and you can avoid the monthly fee.
Amazon Prime has a huge selection of TV shows and movies available for rent and purchase for an affordable yearly price. Another benefit of an Amazon Prime membership is free two-day shipping available for most orders. You can also get one free borrowed e-book per month from the Kindle Owners Lending Library for your Kindle. Amazon Prime is much cheaper than cable.
Since 2011, Mohu has saved customers over $220 million by either eliminating altogether or reducing their monthly cable bills. For as little as $40 you can buy a paper thin indoor HDTV Antenna that can access 94 of the top 100 watched shows available over-the-air. Best part of Mohu is there is no monthly fee. You would be surprised how many of the top 100 most popular shows are available for FREE over the airwaves! With Mohu’s newest product, Channels, streaming services are integrated with the antenna so you can enjoy streaming websites along with TV. Get FREE HDTV with no annual contract!
Cutting the cord can save you a lot of money. Cable bills aren’t getting any lower, nor is customer service getting better. Make 2015 the year you cut the cord and took charge of your wallet and entertainment media. With all the alternatives there are to cable, why pay over inflated prices? With services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, VUDU, Amazon Prime, and products like Mohu you no longer have to be dependent on cable.
Ahhh the dreaded cable companies. How nice to say goodbye.
I have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, but I’d never heard of Mohu before. If you want over the air channels, most cable companies will give you a small over the air box free of charge for the first one (some companies it’s two), my extra one cost us under $20.
