Trimming your tech bills; Cheaper car insurance; The storm next time

Trimming your tech bills

If monthly home-technology bills are putting a dent in your wallet, “there are ways to tame your budget without missing out on all the fun,” said Karen Blumenthal in The Wall Street Journal. Service providers often bundle telephone, television, and Internet services for a lower cost than separate subscriptions. More than a third of U.S. households get along without a landline; maybe you can too. Cellphone bills, which are among “the biggest—and perhaps most essential—expenses” for many households, can also be trimmed. Look into plans that cover everyone in the family; they are often cheaper than individual plans. And since wireless data plans for smartphones can be costly, cut down by keeping track of data use and using Wi-Fi connections whenever possible.
