How Can I Save Money on My Cable Bill?

This may be a question you ask yourself each month when you get your monthly bill. The prices keep going up, and you wonder why you have to pay so much money just to be able to watch a few TV shows you like each week! The good news is that there are many ways you can save money on your cable bill each month.

Many cable companies these days offer a lot more than just cable television. Does your cable company offer Internet, as well as telephone service? Sometimes by combining the services and getting them all from one company, you can save money that way. They will "reward" you by giving you a discount for getting multiple services with them. I know that when we switched our phone service to our cable company, we got a $20 discount per month that now makes it less expensive than when we had a separate company for phone and television. By combining services (whether it's with your cable company or phone company), you can usually get a discount and save money.

Another way to save money on your cable bill is to comparison shop. It used to be you had only one choice - your local cable company. Now in most areas, you have your cable company, usually a phone company, and even a satellite service all offering you cable TV. With all of these choices, they have to compete to get you to use them. So if you're unhappy with your bill, call up the competitor. Find out what they offer, and what their price is. Once they hear you are with their competitor, they will most likely try to beat your price so that they can get you as a customer. This way you both win. You'll end up with a lower monthly bill.

What if you don't want to leave your cable company, but still want a lower bill? That's easy as well. Call your cable company. Explain to them that you really don' t want to go to the competition, but that you want a better rate on your service. They don't know that you won't leave them, and will most likely make you a better offer so that you'll stay with them. There are almost always offers going on to get new customers, so they might offer to give you a better price that they are offering new customers. This way you'll get to save a lot of money each month without even changing cable providers!

Last but not least, take a good look at your cable bill. Do you pay extra for channels you don't even watch anymore? If so, you can easily cut that out, and save money each month, without missing anything. The cable bill is long, but if you take the time to look through it, you'll be surprised at what you're getting charged for that you might not even realize. By going through it carefully, you might notice that you don't want something that you have, and can save money each month that way.

There are many ways you can save money on your cable bill. You just need to be willing to spend a few minutes to look at all of your options, and see which is best for you. But if you really want to save the money, you will see that there are many choices you have in which to do so.
