Money Hack: Save Money on Directv

DirecTV is smart about luring customers in for a 2 year agreement. The first year they discount packages as low as $29.99 + box rentals and HD, however after a year your base package discount skyrockets to about $78 and you are locked in for another year.

I used this tactic to save myself $220.

1. Call Directv and say you would like to cancel service
2. Tell them you are unable to afford your service based on the economy.
3. They will try to keep you by offering you credit usually its $100 or more depending on who you get and how hard you try to bargain.

By using this tactic you are able to save at least $100.

Happy Saving!

Using Sites to Save Money

I been using sites to save money for over 10 years. These sites compile some of the best deals so you don't have to do all the leg work looking at ads. I am able to save a considerable amount each year. It allows me to save time and quickly scan through and create alerts on what is on sale.

These sites also have different forums hot deals, coupons, freebies and finance. They are a good source of information to help you save for an overall strategy.

I recommend two sites:
1. Fatwallet - http://www.fatwallet.com
2. Slickdeals.net - http://www.slickdeals.net

Some of the deals I was able to get include TV's, clothing, housewares, credit card offers, food discounts, computers, console systems, games, electronics, and hotels/travel.
