3. Stop Paying for Unused Subscriptions

A study estimates Americans waste $364 a year on entertainment subscriptions THEY DO NOT USE.

Cancel your unused subscriptions, and stop throwing away your money.

Scrutinize your credit card bills to see if you pay for any subscription service you might have forgotten you signed up for, and cancel those services.

‘TRIM’ YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS WITH TRIM

Where are you bleeding money? The Trim app has made it its mission to solve this problem for you.

Trim app not only identifies and cancels unused subscriptions, they also negotiate lower internet bills, phone bills, cable bills, and medical bills.

Trim is good at what they do. Trim users saved over $1M last month alone!

If Trim saves you money, you keep 66% of your savings the first year, and 100% of your savings every year after that.

If Trim does not save you money, you lose nothing.

Please note that Trim takes their payment immediately. For example, if Trim saves you $10/month, they will request their 33% fee ($40) right away. But you keep 100% of the savings after that.

4. Stop Buying Single-Use Plastics

Americans live in a throw-away society: Think zippered plastic bags, K-Cups, water bottles, and plastic cups.

When you purchase these single-use products, it becomes costly.

Eliminate waste and additional costs when you purchase replace single-use plastics with reusable products.

Head over to Amazon for reusable products so you can save money (and the environment).

5. Stop Buying Cheap Products (Cuz Free Junk is Still Junk)
