What are your best tips to save money? - eviltoast

Following the credit card thread, I’ve learned that some people use credit card points and miles to pay for hotels, that seems pretty interesting.

Children toys being second hands comes to mind too.

What are your ideas?

    Re phones, I also have Tello and it’s great! I pay <$10 for my phone because I don’t use much data.

    There are better options if you use more data though, such as Mint or Google Fi (Google Fi for family plans where you expect to travel internationally).

      Visible is pretty great. I don’t really have any issues with it. I pay $25/month. Spouse has upgraded Visible plan of $45/mo and an Apple Watch $5/mo. My 3 kids have Tello $9 plans which gives the unlimited text/talk and 500MB of data. That’s just enough to track their locations, Otherwise they tether for free on our phones. Everyone has an iPhone.

      25+45+5+3x9 = $102 all in. No additional fees or taxes.
