Netflix vs. $100+ cable bill

Yippy Skippy a comprehensive place to track our savings.

As noted in my blog title, I have a savings goal - hopefully this will help me track it in a more comprehensive way.

First and foremost, I've decided to create get rid of our cable and phone service. We use the cell phones regularly anyway, so having a land-line isn't necessary; not to mention that I can get online at work.

So, we have joined

Text is Netflix and Link is www.netflix.com
Netflix to keep us in movies for the next few months.

That should satisfy our tv tooth... Instead of paying about $100 month for internet, cable and phone, we'll be paying $17.99 for an unlimited amount of movies each month!!

Here's hopin'

    Exactly what DH and I have done. We are down from $50 a month "basic" cable to $10 a month "limited basic," and got Netflix. We aren't missing anything. It's such a pleasure to have something on hand we WANT to watch, instead of flipping through 100 channels of nothing we're interested in. Good luck in your quest.

    I have been very happy with Netflix. I love getting TV series. We are in the middle of SciFi Channel's Battlestar Galactica and HBO's Six Feet Under. I also enjoy getting Monk. One think I like about series is that I can get up to 4 hours of things to watch per DVD and have shorter items. Sitcoms are delightfully commercial free, and only take 22 minutes, nice for a mini-unwind. I'm not always into committing to a 2 hour movie, but a 30 or 50 minute pice is do-able. I'm hoping you get good value out of Netflix too.
