Cut costs on international calling
Right now if you are paying very much for domestic long distance in the United States I just don’t think I can help you. There are so many cheap options for domestic calling you kind of have to be stubborn to pay more then a few cents a minute. Or perhaps like many you tossed out your home phone all together and just use your cell phone, many have and there are good reasons to do so.
Now for international calling I generally recommend VoIP service but for some it just doesn’t work and others just don’t call often enough to bother. Additionally if you have gone the cell phone only route and don’t have a cable modem it isn’t an option. So what is the solution?
Try using discount international phone cards for saving money on all your international calling. GetMeCallingCards.com is a great source to shop for many different calling cards for many different needs. For instance I often call Russia to talk to one of my outsource programmers, I found a card for Russian long distance that costs only 1.2 cents a minute, that is a huge savings over even my VoIP rate.
Use this site to shop around they have a great card search tool where you can put in your country you call from and to and get the best rates and more importantly the best terms. Each card they recommend you can view all the details, charges and fine print beyond just the surface rate. Many times the lowest rate is not the best price over all so be smart read and pick the one best for where, how and how often you call.
GetMeCallingCards.com breaks all that down to easy and clear English so it definitely makes my list of recommended sites.
Cut your cost of heating with style
One of our chief goals here at CutThatBill is to help you find creative and cool ways to cut costs so when I was asked to look at a new website about heating and saving money on your costs I was happy to do it. The site is called DESA Online Outlet and they offer great prices on a variety of room heaters. A small room heater is often viewed as something that raises rather then lowers bills but that is not the case when used properly. Match the right heater with the right sized room and you can take the chill out of the room you are in most often and keep your overall thermostat setting lower.
Another cool option is using either ventless gas logs or vented gas logs into your fireplace. I prefer ventless because they provide far more efficient heating and still give you a lot of the feeling of a traditional wood fire. If you really want the look and feel of wood though vented logs will give you more of that. Either of them are more efficient and less costly then wood, (unless you cut your own). One more thing I really liked about DESA Online Outlet is they show you exactly how to cut your winter expenses by 15% rather then just claiming it to be the case.
So if you have a fire place that you don’t like dragging wood in for, would like to cut the cost of your heating or if you just have one room that is always to cold give these guys a visit and see if they have a deal on what you are looking for they certainly make my recommended sites list.
