Weekly Savings Tip

Is your budget taking a hit from cell phone fees? Depending on your plan, penalties for going over your minutes can range from 5 cents to 45 cents a minute. Here are some ways to avoid those cell phone fees:

•Keep track of your minutes - Set up an online account with your phone carrier or call into the automated system to check your minutes.

•Buy text messages in bulk - If you frequently text without a bulk plan, it can cost you up to 20 cents per message to send or receive.

•Consider a prepaid service - By signing up for a prepaid service, you can cancel your services without penalties. Additionally, you're not bound by a contract, so you're free to switch carriers at any time.

Simple changes like these can lead to more money in your bank account. Remember to save some for the future. Learn more easy ways to reduce your spending.
