This will probably qualify as the silliest thing I've done online in quite some time, but I figure with the heat of the summer, it is time to cool off some of the bills we have coming due. The goal of this project is to spend a little time every day looking for ways to save money, cut expenses, and perhaps make a little money as well.
Thursday, July 30, I logged into our Dish Network account and chose the FREE HD FOR LIFE promotion and upped our contract to 24 months to realize the savings. Now, this isn't exactly the best way to save money, but we get the value of at-home entertainment from Dish and enjoy the Food Network, VS, Sirius Radio, and the kiddie channels. Besides, the Tour starts this weekend, so I can't exactly cut my Lance fix just yet.
So, after I completed day one, I tweeted about the project and @DishNetwork responded with a cool message from them. Very cool to see them engage the customers on Twitter via CoTweet.
July Savings Total:
Monthly Savings = $10
Annual = $120
