Cut your landline phone and save money

7 solid ways to save $1,000 in a year
text

If you have a landline phone, it may be time to cancel it.

"We used to have two landlines in our house," says Leah Ingram, who writes the Suddenly Frugal blog. "One was for personal use, and the other was for my business. But over time, I discovered I was using my cellphone for most calls. So why did I need a second landline in the house? Cutting that landline saved us $800 in one year."

After canceling the business line, Ingram bundled her home phone with cable TV and Internet service for the house, saving another $50 per month, or $600 per year.

Bundling doesn't always work, so make sure you comparison shop to see which way you'll save the most.
