How to Cut Back on Your Monthly TV Bill

TV is relatively affordable. In fact, your monthly television bill likely costs you less than a night out at dinner and the movies. However, if you’re on a budget, the essentials like your power and grocery bill need to take first priority.

Cut Back Your Television Bills

Emergency cash loans can help you get through the hard times and take care of your family but that money shouldn’t be used for things you don’t really need. After all, that’s why they are called emergency cash loans. Use these tips to help you reduce your monthly TV bill so you have more money for the things you really need to pay for and buy.

Cut back on premium channels as part of your cable plan. Those premium channels could make up more than half of the total cost of your cable bill if you have more than one. Get rid of what you’re not watching frequently first and you may be able to cut TV expenses enough to notice the difference.

Get rid of sports packages that you don’t really need. Once the season has started you may not be able to cancel a package you’re already enrolled for, so make sure you do it in time. Talk to your cable provider about cancelling packages during the season if they are a financial hardship for you. They may be able to work with you to give you a credit on your bill or reduce the cost.

Cancel your cable service altogether. Purchase a digital antenna and box for free channels. Many people who have cable television forget that there is such a thing as free TV – TV that comes right over the airwaves that you don’t have to pay for. You may not have all your favourite shows or sporting events but you’ll find things to watch on network TV as well.

Replace your cable TV with less expensive streaming services. Services like Netflix and Hulu Plus cost under $10 each per month and you can find a variety of shows and movies to enjoy.
