Cutting costs: Cell minutes, do you need them?

So you are thinking of going and getting that very tempting Virgin Mobile $35/month plan but are scared that the 300 minutes may not be enough? There are other ways to save on minutes. For those of us with smartphones why not leverage the capabilities of the phone itself?

An introduction

Welcome to The Frugal Geek! This blog is intended to get some of the ideas that are floating around in my head written down to where others can make use of them also. Ever since our son was born nearly two years ago my wife and I have been trying to find ways to cut costs so that she could stay home with our little miracle. Our journey to being frugal is finally producing some fruit and we want to share it with others.

In this blog you will find ways to cut costs on nearly every part of life. From cellphone and home phone service to baby needs and groceries and nearly everything in between. We are not to the "drinking the koolaid" stage yet as far as cheap living but I would say we are approaching the moderate stage. So if you are an "easy does it", a "drinking the koolaid" or anywhere in between we think you will get something out of this blog.

If you have any ideas for cost savings that you would like to see featured on this blog, please feel free to contact us and let us know. We are always looking for more ways to save money. Share the knowledge so that more lives can be impacted.

Be sure to follow us and tell all your friends and family. The more the merrier!
