I pay $50 a month after taxes, and have 1000 anytime minutes and free nights & weekends. That also includes a $5 text messaging feature (it's worth it to me because my husband's pay-per-use phone has free texting). That doesn't sound any cheaper than your current plan, but you should check it out if you're wanting more minutes. I’ve been really happy with our TMobile plan.

We are paying to insure one car, and we've got it through Geico. They were a few hundred less than any other competitor we tried. We have our renter's insurance policy with a different company, but I'm looking to group them together when it comes time to renew. Yeah our car insurance is really low.

Your bills or REALLY low! 84$ a month for insurance? I'd fall on the floor if ours ever goes that low! Our auto alone would work out to be about 200$ a month if we paid monthly, that is for an SUV and a Diesel, plus additional insured 1 million on the Diesel and I thought we were getting a smoking deal! We have all our insurance at one place car, home, life, flood, and they offered me a discount to switch to yearly billing. Maybe you could do the same for your auto insurance. Worth a shot, right?

For me right now my AT&T cell phone bill is $40.20 per month including tax. If I can get the SERO plan (which I'm considering) in April, I'll save $5 or so per month. Worth it to me! Lyn-

It is used mainly to phone a relative and to receive phone calls, otherwise, I could do without it. I'm debating whether I can use my prepaid phone along with email instead. T Mobile has some good deals usually for the minutes you are needing. They often run a 1,000 or 1,500 anytime minute deal for $39.99/month + taxes. (It's the taxes that I don't want with a monthly phone bill of any type, they are crazy ridiculous!) The only thing left for us to contemplate is our home phone.

It's a Sprint Employee/Friends/Family type program. I believe it's around 30 bucks a month. For your cell phone, have you looked into SERO from Sprint?
