About 2 months ago we cut our cable service. We were on a plan that was about $110 a month for TV and internet. After lots of research and conversations with the cable company, we cut back to “limited basic” which is pretty much local channels and a couple more (it was actually cheaper for us to have limited basic and inter net than internet alone).

Cutting back like this was quite a shock for us since now we no longer have DVR nor some of our most watched channels. But now only pay $40 a month to the cable company.

Instead of the high cable television bill we are now watching a lot of our favorite shows via the internet. There are several free websites for watching our favorite shows. Here are a few you could try:

Clicker

Hulu

Fancast

blinx

Cast TV

We also now have a Netflix Subscription. We get movies not only sent to our house but we stream TV shows and Movies through the computer and our wii.

If you are desperate to cut some monthly expenses, you may want to give this a try and see if it’s something that you can do. If you have a newer TV you should be able to connect a laptop to the TV so you can still watch on the bigger screen.

It has taken a bit to get used to but this is really working for our family. I recently talked to my dad about it and he was amazed that there are so many other options out there.

Chances are you already know about the 30% off diapers deal at Amazon.com (you can read the forum discussion of the deal here), so I’ll keep this deal-sweetener short:

In this month’s Parents magazine between pages 96 and 97 there’s an orange coupon with a user-specific code for 20% off diapers at Amazon. Each code is good for one use, one customer, one unit of diapers. This code can be used with the 30% off subscribe and save Amazon offer, bringing the diapers down even more.

1. Go to the Amazon diapers deal.
2. Choose your diapers and click “subscribe and save.” This will take 30% off your price.
3. During checkout, enter the code from your Parents magazine. This will take an additional 20% off your price.
4. If you don’t want to be automatically charged for the diapers and have repeating shipments, remember to cancel before your next scheduled shipment.

I don’t know if Parents magazine is available on the newsstand. If you see it anywhere, let us know!

I usually have a large stockpile of items that I get from couponing, adding to my short-term food storage, and the cannery. Unfortunately, I don’t have a basement or a pantry in my kitchen so I set up my “store” in the garage. It’s all I have and I am making do with it! This photo is actually 11 months old, but this will give you a rough idea of my food items. It looks quite different now. I am always changing stuff around and organizing differently as our family grows and our needs change.

(Those who know me know that we always have a lot of cold cereal. That is not pictured, as the cereal is kept on a small shelf high up by the ceiling, past the top right corner of the photo.)

I have set up a few rules for making our food last. I explained to my kids that although the food was super cheap (and often free!) that doesn’t mean we can go crazy with it. I only stock up like this when the deals are really good and I won’t replenish at full price. After I explained this I told them how things would work:

1. When we do have granola bars, only one per day. For the school kids this means most likely one in their lunch, but after school snacks include fresh fruit, toast, or something like that. Or sometimes a bowl of cold cereal if they didn’t have it for breakfast. My kids actually like muffins for an after school snack too.
2. Even though our family are self-proclaimed “cereal freaks” (according to my husband) we don’t have cold cereal everyday. We would go through it way too quickly, and its not the healthiest thing to eat everyday. So I set up a breakfast schedule for us that I will explain below.
3. You need to ask permission if you want to get anything.

Now I know these rules will probably be broken at some point, but I like having them in place. Here is a loose breakfast schedule I have in place so the kids know they will still have something to eat in place of cold cereal. I don’t have specific days for each type of food, because my food desires or schedule may change. Like I said, it’s a loose schedule! And we mix up all the options to form all sorts of combinations to fit our tastes for the day.

BREAKFAST OPTIONS (besides cold cereal)

Oatmeal & fruit/yogurt
Pancakes or Waffles (we love this healthy homemade mix right now)
Muffins & breakfast smoothies
Biscuits & poached eggs
Omelets or eggs and toast
Breakfast Burritos (tortillas w/scrambled eggs & spices, hashbrowns, salsa)
Homemade “Egg McMuffins” (my hubby loves these)

I am at least trying to make my deals last as long as possible. So far the kids have been really good about sticking to the rules. They know I won’t go out and just buy lots more. One time they got into some Juicy Juice boxes I got free with doubles that I was saving for an upcoming picnic. When I didn’t go buy more they knew I was serious! I don’t really have a problem with them getting into stuff anymore.

How do you make your stockpile last?
