Do you have satellite or cable TV? Get your internet from?

Call them every month and ask them if there are any coupons or discounts that can be applied to your account.

I have Directv and my bill is $200 a month, for a very long time now by making one call a month i have not paid over $140, not once.

I watch over the air TV (80+ stations), Amazon Prime, Tubi TV, Crackle, Vudu for movies, Tubi TV, and other legal free movie internet sites, most every other cable channel has their shows on the next day if you can wait. I watch CBSNews online for up to the minute world news.

If I could only find a way to get internet for free....

Movies that are not on Netflix we rent from our neighborhood Redbox.

I also buy DVDs I find in thrift stores.

Our public library has a good selection of DVDs, but mostly I go there for the books.

We quit cable and broadcast television many years ago but we haven't ever run out of things to watch.

I've grown entirely intolerant of television commercials so I doubt I'll ever go back to "traditional" television.
