Looking to save on that overpriced cable bill? Here are a few tips for saving on your cable bill that require minimal effort!
Tip #1 Consider Switching Providers: When was the last time you shopped around for a lower priced option? Providers often give deep discounts to new subscribers so it makes sense to periodically check what the competition is offering. For example, right now Dish is offering subscriptions as low as $19.99 a month, free installation and even three free months of Premium Channels for new customers. Just go HERE and enter your zip to see if your area is participating and what special offers are available to you.
Tip #2 Negotiate with Your Current Cable Company: Once you know what the competition is offering, consider calling up your current company to negotiate a lower rate. Companies want to keep you on as customers so once you are armed with the information on the competition you are in a better place to ask for a discount. Call your provider and ask for the customer retention department. Let them know you are considering switching providers and see if they can match or beat the competition. You’ll be surprised at what they can do! 😉
Tip #3 Consider Amazon Prime: If you don’t watch much local programming you may want to consider Amazon Prime. You get unlimited streaming of thousands of movie titles, including some of the most popular shows and films. You’ll be able to watch Over 40,000 Movies 
and TV shows, plus as a bonus, you’ll enjoy FREE 2 day shipping on most items. You can even take advantage of a FREE 30 day trial of Amazon Prime to see what you think.
Plus, Amazon even carries many HBO shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and select seasons of current HBO hits such as True Blood and Boardwalk Empire. And you can stream videos on a ton of different devices like your Kindle, ipad, PS3, Xbox, Wii and many others.
Tip #4 Love TV? Consider Hulu Plus: If you mostly enjoy watching TV shows, you may want to consider Hulu Plus. It allows you to watch both current and older TV shows and even some movies anytime in HD for $7.99 month with very limited advertising. Hulu Plus offers every single episode of the current season, not just a handful of recent episodes. So it’s a great way to easily catch up on a show you’ve been meaning to watch. You can also get two weeks of Hulu Plus totally FREE to see what you think.
And to make it even better, Hulu Plus subscribers also have access to back seasons and entire runs of awesome TV’s shows, including many that were not available to watch instantly before. You can watch Hulu Plus in HD on your TV, laptop, iPad and iPhone, PlayStation 3, Roku, and Blu-ray players from Sony, Samsung, Vizio and more.
