One of my siblings recently informed that they paid upwards of $70 for cable TV.

WOW. These days, with the economic crunch, I cannot believe people will pay such high prices. For TV service! The news reports I have read (at CNet.com) have reported that cable prices have gone up 77% since 1996. Yow! That’s GOTTA hurt. And I can’t say there’s a heck of a lot of good stuff on cable, eh? There is some… but not enough to pay $70 for !!! How much do you pay? Do you think it’s worth it?
Well, if TV is a must-have, have you checked out satellite service? Lots of my friends in the very rural areas get satellite (because cable service doesn’t get out to the wild and crazy boonies). But even then, they are paying quite a bit.
There’s a promotion going on for Dish Network satellite service, have you heard about it? You may want to sit down while I tell you the starting price for their service. I’ll wait, have a seat.
Ready?
$9.99 a month.
It’s TRUE! Go to the website to check it out: The Dish Network. Now, the caveat is that you need to fill in your name and phone number and a Dish Network rep will call you back to talk to you about all their offers. But we Frugal Hacks are experienced with reps who call, aren’t we? :D This is a great deal. Check out the website for more info. And quit crying every time you open up your cable bill! Heck, you’ll save even more $$ cuz you won’t be buying as much Kleenex anymore!
