Bigger Bang For The Buck

The majority of us have been affected by the economic downfall that has occurred over the last few years and many of you like me have probable started looking for ways to get a bigger bang for your buck.

Some of the things that my wife and I have started doing are looking for more ways to save on all our purchases. With gas being around $3.50 a gallon I purchased a Honda Hybrid and get around 50 miles a gallon and that is a huge saving every month when you consider I’m in sales and travel 800 to 1000 miles a week. My old vehicle only got about 18 to 20 miles per gallon and with this Hybrid my monthly fuel saving is more than $350. My wife also has been clipping coupons ever week and that alone has been saving us over $200 a month at the grocery store.

Now the couple of things listed above have resulted in our greatest saving but there is another that I would also like to mention that has always been the tops in value. That is our cell phone service with U.S. Cellular. That’s right; U.S. Cellular still offers the best value for the price of any carrier in the market. How so you may ask? Let me start by saying that I depend on my cell phone service for my business and it is very important to stay in touch with my family wherever I may be. And after being with U.S. Cellular for about 9 years I have to say that their service has never let me down. Also with the cost of everything going up with all cell phone carriers U.S. Cellular has always brought more value to the table. Like free incoming calls, text and picture messages. Reward points that can be used to get some great accessories or upgrade your cell phone in as little as 10 months. Reward points can also be used for overage forgiveness if you go over on your monthly plan minutes. Also they offer a one and done contract meaning that after you sign the first 2 year contact that you never have to sign another. Now their customer service is let me say is “Awesome” and they have always provided me with the most professional, friendliest and problem solving service that I have had with any company I’ve ever dealt with. It’s no wonder as to why that U.S. Cellular has won many Customer Service Awards over the years.

Now as I continue to look for ways to save and bring more value for the money I spend during these difficult economic times; I would like to thank U.S. Cellular for continuing to find ways to offer and bring more value to their customer. I do realize that also they face many cost increases and have to make changes to stay in business, but I still believe they offer more for less than the other carriers.
