   Nothing like battling customer “service” to ruin your day.

   And you’re right–$400 is nothing to shake at! That’s a lot of shoes

   It pretty much always works too. All you really need to do is ask for a better deal.

   We have very few bills, only phone and internet, but we have negotiated both of those down. We have also never paid a set up fee or activation fee. It pays to stay on hold for a while if you get a better deal!

   Yes, I called my dish provider and they gave me a $200 credit- that’s four months of free tv!

   I felt good cutting $12 from soccer and $12 from phone bill – $24/mo! Yay for savings. Always have to LOOK for them.
   See you in Nashville ))

    That is just the inspiration I needed to make those calls. I could use $400!
