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.

#MaxYourTax With Walmart’s Lowest Priced Unlimited Plans

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  Imagine me singing that, on second thought, maybe you shouldn’t. However, I’m sure many were singing a similar tune when they received their tax refund check this year.  If you are like me with a family, home and busy life, that money is very welcome.  I am a very big saver and I like to get the most bang for my buck on what I do spend.  I guess you could say, I like to see just how much I can save when buying the things we need.  I really scored big in that department this year, I want to share my story with you and hopefully help you #MaxYourTax return this year.

Cell phone plans can be so expensive, especially when your kids get to the age that they all need a phone and plan.  It can easily get way out of hand for most families.  We have a family of 7 and 5 of us all have smartphones so it can be hard to find something affordable.  I can hardly believe my 4th child is going to be joining the phone carrying crew and so I started to scout out options.  I mean I want something affordable and a phone that is not going to cost $600!

While at Walmart picking up some essentials, I happened to notice the Walmart Family Mobile service has the lowest priced unlimited plans, just $29.88 a month for the first line.  That is for unlimited talk, text/data service which includes up to 500MB of 4G LTE data  What a deal!  This is perfect for him and it definitely lets me maximize my tax refund!

I was able to pick up the Samsung Galaxy Avant and starter kit for just $149 for the phone and $25 for the starter kit.

While picking that out I noticed ZTE Zinger was marked down in price to  $19.84 from the original price of $39.88, that is a great way to really get value for your tax dollars.

You know since I was able to save so much on the phone and service, I have some extra tax return money to put toward something else.  Maybe toward creating an even bigger butterfly garden.  Can you tell I am sick of snow and looking forward to spring?  I would love for you to share with me how you plan to #MaxYourTax this year.  Please share your best ways to do that in the comments.  I love to read your great ideas.
