I would love to cut expenses. We are talking about downsizing and simplifying. We can’t cut the cars down cause hubs is a traveling sales rep, we already cut the cord to cable, I need the smart phone cause that’s how I work/access the internet, and we mostly eat at home already. But – love this list and love the brainstorming!

In reply to Meg. My husband has an Amazon Fire tablet, which was only $50 (and he says it works great), so I think that would be the cheapest option. From what I've seen, any data plan is expensive, but it depends on your situation and if it would be worth it to you.

These are great tips – and we utilize most of them. I find you make not having a smartphone work because you have an iPad/iPod/and gps instead. If someone didn’t have those other devices to rely on, do you think basic low data plans are worthwhile? iPads aren’t cheap.

In reply to Christine – Jar Of Lemons.

We’ve all gotten so used to smart phones that they seem necessary, for sure. I’d like to have them eventually, but we’re fine without right now to save a bunch of money.
