My dad was sick of comcast cable, since they kept raising their prices just about every 4 or 5 months, and I wanted direct tv or dishnetwork since I wanted DVR capabilities, So, DAddy*ageplay DAddy* DAd and I went halvsies on the cable.

It's the top 250 channels, and some are movie channels too, and it was 60 a month or so, but we got an extra box, so my dad could have his box and we could have our box, and the two wouldn't be linked and now it's 66. But anyway the point is, it's 20 for me, 20 for him, and then like 25 for my dad, since the extra change in the box situation was something he wanted.

I wouldn't go with out digital cable either, even if it was just Daddy and I paying for it, we'd still do it but wouldn't get such a fancy spensive package, we'd just get one that cost 40 dollars or something.

we're looking for more ways to cut back, but have found we can't scrimp on cable, that's our main source of entertainment, especially with me spending so much time at home now.

I've been buying less lottery tickets.
And when I buy Powerball tickets I don't "power them up" for an extra dollar.

i started actually using coupons instead of clipping them out and leaving them on my kitchen counter; i am buying store brand of some items more than i used to; i am trying to keep my driving to a minimum...routing myself so i make whatever stops i have to do along the way without excessive travel, and certainly not shopping and eating out as much as i had been doing.
