Cellphones Are Eating the Family Budget
- alexmarcy 14y agoWith the abundance of free wi-fi in most cities it seems almost unreasonable to be spending that much money on cell data. Is there anything so critical to do on a cell phone that it is worth changing grocery purchasing habits to accommodate?
- lmm 14y agoDoesn't have to be critical. Food from Aldi may be less prettily packaged but it's by and large just as good. If you value what a nice smartphone gives you (and if she's watching TV on it every day it sounds like she's getting her money's worth) I think it's totally legitimate to give up going to a fancier supermarket for that.
- JoeAltmaier 14y agoCrazy. My family is 5 people; we spend $25 a month or something for all of us for phone service. Never use the 'minutes' or Gb, not even half, even on the minimum plan. And we're very busy people. Oh! We're busy outside, biking and camping and club meetings and school. Too busy to spend hours at angry birds or whatever crap phones let you do. Maybe that's it.
