In these tough economic times, Robyn (my wife) and I are doing our best to cut, or trim, all unnecessary expenses.

That said, I recently contacted Time Warner Cable (888-892-2253) to see if they would reduce my monthly tv, Internet and phone bill.

After talking with Tami, the customer service representative, she informed me that there was a “new” cost-saving program for customers who contacted Time Warner.

[FYI, I found it very interesting that this cost-saving program was only available to those customers who proactively contacted Time Warner. So, if you don't call Time Warner, your bill remains the same.]

Anyways, after discussing my options with Tami, I was able to reduce my bill by $35 a month, for an annual savings of $420, if I agreed to a two-year contract. I realize those savings are not going to change our lives but, every bit counts these days – especially considering Ethan’s daily diaper use.

Ethan at 5 Months!

If you don’t have Time Warner, maybe your cable provider has a similar plan to help you. All it takes is one phone call to find out!

Keep on tickin’ and savin’!
