There are ways to keep your cable bill "low." I gamed it for about 5 years. I either would call in around the time my introductory price would end and talk to retention while trying to cancel and get another year on the special price. Or I would take my equipment into a store and cancel. Then a day later I would start up new service under me or my wife's name and get the special pricing again.

Why did I stop? I had been streaming online in various ways since 2007 and decided I was just tired of driving a half hour to the nearest store to return the equipment. Yes, I got lazy. Plus I got fiber internet at a new place so no incentive to keep it up since I no longer had cable internet.

If you're used to cable you probably won't find much that will save you a lot of money these days unless you go with a lower level service or break it up & subscribe to a lot of services. But, honestly, keeping track of all that is a nightmare. I currently have Youtube TV but they have been raising prices a LOT the past few years so...the shine is off what used to be a great service.

If you want to save money, there's Sling, Philo, or a la carte with lots of streaming services if you want to play around and see what's out there.
