5. Cable packages you actually don’t need
“Cancel extra cable packages,” Dvorkin said. “I know this seems counterintuitive during isolation, but cutting costs is key until this crisis is over.” You don’t need extra cable packages, especially when we are talking about sports channels, because most sports are on hold now.
Instead, you should rely on streaming services during the pandemic.
6. Nonessential food spending
“Having food delivered and going to the drive-thru can get you out of the house, but the cost of feeding your family can quickly add up,” said Tayne.
“If you frequently order takeout, a family of four can spend at least $75 each time they order in. If you cook instead, an average meal costs around $30 to prepare. Even if you get takeout once per week, you’ll save almost $200 just by cooking at home.”
