On my journey to becoming debt free I cancelled my cell phone contract and got one of those prepaid packages called ‘straight talk’ from Walmart. Have you looked at such a savings yet?
I have therefore saved $1200 over a period of 2 years even after paying the contract cancellation fee.
I’m using their $45 per month package for unlimited calls and unlimited text, using the Verizon network.
For really tight budget the $30 per month package is a very low cost controllable expense for 1000 any time / anywhere minutes and 1000 text messages. I find this option great for my 2 teenagers, it teaches them to work responsibly with their resources.
