How I Save Money Using My Unlimited Data Plan #MyDataMyWay

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and Walmart Family Mobile. All opinions are mine alone. #MyDataMyWay #CollectiveBias

10 ways I use unlimited data

 

We’re a very high-tech family and love the way technology has enhanced our lives.  I’ve been working from home for the last 8 years thanks to technology!  Technology opened the doors to so many opportunities for me!  Using the latest technology can help us do the things we do well even better!  I’ve always been a savvy shopper, but the data/web service on my smartphone lets me save like a superstar! One of my favorite apps is a price matching app that lets me scan a barcode on any item, then it shows me prices at other stores.  Most stores today will price match competitors, all you have to do is show them at the register. I have saved hundreds of dollars using this app.

The Price Matching App not only saves me money, it saves me time.  I don’t have to worry that something will be less expensive in another store, I know right away and can get the same price. No more driving around, wasting gas going from store to store. Now, I just load the item in my cart and get the lowest price at the checkout!

Another thing I use my data plan for is inspiration.  I’ll look up a recipe while I’m at the store, check the ingredients and know if I need to pick up anything. Last weekend I was on a road trip and checked the weather before heading home because it was snowing where I was. Data/Web service is perfect when traveling and unfamiliar with the area, we can pull up the local restaurants and attractions, get GPS directions to guide us and even pull up the latest episode of a podcast to listen to while driving.

Having all of this at my fingertips is great, but don’t learn about data overage charges the hard way.  If you don’t have a sufficient data plan, you’ll be charged when you go over and those overage charges can be brutal.

I was in Walmart the other day and saw their Family Mobile has the Lowest Priced Unlimited Plans. It’s just $29.88* a month (on the first line) for Unlimited Talk, Text & Data/Web service which includes up to 500 MB of 4G LTE data. I was impressed!  Could not pass up a deal like that so I checked out their phones and really liked the Alcatel Fierce 2.

The Android smartphone is packed with features like 4G connection speeds, 5 inch touchscreen display and best of all no contract!  This plan saves our family big money! Given the winter we had that’s still here even though it’s spring, we just may take our savings for a quick getaway somewhere warmer!  Off to research some destinations on my new phone!  Let me know how you use your data/web service and what you think of the lowest priced unlimited plans from Walmart Family Mobile.

Easy Easter Treats To Make With Kids

sweet Easter Treats

Is it wrong to dip tender, sweet marshmallow Peeps in melted chocolate?  If it is…I’m guilty!  I wanted to share how much fun we had with colorful Peep Bunnies and Chicks, some sticks, sprinkles, decors and our imagination. There are so many fun things you can do with Peeps but making Peeps Pops has to be near the top of the list.

 

Peeps Pps 2

 

Peeps Pops 1

So easy and you can decorate and make a nice centerpiece for a dessert buffet with them.  Just melt your chocolate and put your Peep on a stick and let your imagination run.  You can dip them totally and sprinkle with decors and sprinkles or you can dip just the bottom of the chicks so it looks like a nest.

Peeps Pops 3

Whatever you decided this is a fun and tasty Easter project the whole family can take part in!  So grab some Peeps and get read for some dipping and sprinkling in the kitchen festivities.  With Peeps, chocolate and sprinkles…you can’t go wrong.  Later Peeps (sorry couldn’t resist).

BODYARMOR is low in sodium and contains nothing artificial unlike other sports drinks on the market.  Perfect for young children like my own who don’t have a need for extra sodium in their diet not to mention the artificial ingredients found in most sports drinks.  As  moms, we know if our kids won’t drink it, it really doesn’t matter how healthy it is.  So, I was anxious to see what they thought of BODYARMOR  and find out if it passes the kid taste test in our house. I tried it first and found it delicious and refreshing.  Then he kids tried it and gave it 2 thumbs up for flavor and thirst quenching power!  Well, it looks like we have a unanimous high-five for BODYARMOR!
