Many of you saved a few hundred bucks during last month’s challenge—that’s great! However, if you succeed at this month’s challenge, you’ll save all year long. February’s challenge: bill haggle day.
This might be a tough one, because so many of you are already great at saving on your bills. For those who aren’t, or for those who think they can save even more, let’s try calling one or more bill providers to ask for a better rate. Here are some ideas and tips to get you started.
- Cable & Internet: Call your provider and simply ask for a better deal
- Credit cards: Negotiate a lower interest rate
- Rent: Not always possible, but definitely worth a shot. Some of our readers have done it!)
- Car insurance: Ask for a better rate or a discount (especially if you work from home)
- Gym membership: Not an easy one, but we’ve given you a couple of tips here.
Are you in? If so, let us know, and tell us which bills you plan to attack. And we’ll leave you with one last tip: don’t be afraid of the silent treatment.
