It\u2019s true that those small savings can add up and provide a little more wiggle room in your budget.<\/p>\n<p>But what about those necessary expenditures \u2013 the bills you have to pay each month? Chances are you\u2019re paying a lot more for housing, food, utilities and insurance than occasional (or regular) treats. You\u2019re recurring expenses likely consume the bulk of your budget.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to cut these costs. Here are 10 common bills you can reduce by $500 or more a month so you\u2019ll have more cash to stash in a retirement account, save for emergencies or pay for those things you enjoy, like a latte. The actual savings you\u2019ll see will vary depending on which cost-cutting moves you choose to make. But our examples show it is possible to cut $500 off your monthly bills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Save Big on Groceries<\/strong><br \/>\nGrocery spending can take a big bite out of your monthly budget. A family of four spends up to an average of $1,300 a month on food at home, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture. One of the best ways to lower your grocery bill is to stock up on items that are nonperishable or can be frozen when they are on sale rather than buying just what you need for the week. \u201cWhen shoppers buy only their weekly needs, they are forced to pay full price for 50 percent to 80 percent of what goes in their cart,\u201d said Teri Gault, founder and CEO of TheGroceryGame.com.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have a stockpile, you can plan weekly meals around what you have and perishable items that are on sale at the supermarket. Gault said that TheGroceryGame.com members report average savings of $523 a month for a family of four by stockpiling sale items and using coupons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Lower Credit Card Payments With a Balance Transfer<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you carry a balance on a credit card with a high interest rate, you could dramatically decrease the amount you pay each month by taking advantage of a 0% balance transfer offer. Based on calculations by financial education site MagnifyMoney.com, if you transferred a $10,000 balance from a card with a 20% interest rate to one with a 0% rate, you would avoid paying nearly $1,900 in interest over the course of a year \u2014 or about $160 a month.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need a credit score of at least 680 to qualify for balance-transfer offers, according to MagnifyMoney.com. When you compare offers, pay attention to balance-transfer fees that might eliminate some of the savings you\u2019ll get my moving your balance to a lower-rate card. CreditCards.com has a calculator that can help you figure out how much you can save by transferring your balance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Cut the Cost of Wireless Service<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re not locked into a two-year contract with a wireless service provider, you can lower your monthly bill by switching to a smaller carrier that offers more competitive pricing than major carriers. For example, you\u2019ll pay just $45 a month for unlimited talk, text and 3 GB of high-speed data with Straight Talk Wireless. You\u2019ll pay at least $20 more for a similar plan with AT&amp;T or Verizon.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to switch to a smaller carrier that might have a limited coverage area, you still might be able to lower your monthly bill with a major carrier. Check your statement to see if you\u2019re actually using all of the data for which you\u2019re paying. When my husband and I did this recently, we cut our wireless service bill by $30 a month by switching to a plan with a lower data allotment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Eliminate Your Landline<\/strong><br \/>\nGrowing numbers of households are ditching their landline telephone service and relying only on wireless service, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s National Health Interview Survey. If you rely primarily on your smartphone or cell phone to make calls, what\u2019s holding you back from joining the 45 percent of wireless-only households?<\/p>\n<p>Consumers spend an average of $357 a year on residential phone service, according to the Labor Department\u2019s most-recent Consumer Expenditure Survey. So you\u2019d about $30 a mont by dropping your landline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Cut the Cable Cord \u2014 or at Least Trim It<\/strong><br \/>\nThe cost of cable TV isn\u2019t getting any cheaper. Market research group NPD estimates that the average pay-TV bill will be $123 in 2015, up from $86 in 2011. So cutting your cable chord can quickly save you more than $100 a month.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re not ready to give up cable TV entirely, you could lower your bill by forgoing pricey premium channels and opting for the most basic package. Then you can get your movie fix with inexpensive streaming options, such as Amazon Instant Video, Hulu or Netflix. Or you could ditch cable and till get live programming with Sling TV. This Internet-only service costs just $20 a month and offers 23 channels, such as CNN, ESPN, HGTV and Disney.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Re-Shop Your Auto Insurance<\/strong><br \/>\nLoyalty doesn\u2019t always pay when it comes to auto insurance. The J.D. Power 2015 U.S. Insurance Shopping Study found that consumers who shopped for better auto insurance rates and switched insurers saved an average of $388 on their annual premium. Auto-insurance comparison site The Zebra found that its customers save an average of $614 annually by switching carriers, said The Zebra Chief Operating Officer Joshua Dziabiak.<\/p>\n<p>Based on those figures, you could save about $32 to $51 a month by switching to a lower-rate auto insurance policy. You can get quotes and compare offers from several insurers at The Zebra, InsuranceQuotes.com and CarInsurance.com.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Lower Your Homeowners Insurance Premium<\/strong><br \/>\nRaising your homeowners insurance deductible from $500 to $1,000 could shave 25 percent off your premium, according to the Insurance Information Institute. So if you pay $1,000 annually, that translates to savings of $250 \u2014 about $20 a month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Slash Your Electric Bill<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can lower your heating and cooling costs by using a programmable thermostat to automatically adjust the temperature in your house when you\u2019re away from home. In fact, proper use of a programmable thermostat can save about $180 a year \u2014 or $15 a month \u2014 in energy costs, according to the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s Energy Star program. Energy Star recommends using a thermostat\u2019s pre-programmed energy-saving setpoints to get the most benefit.<\/p>\n<p>You can reduce your bill more by identifying and unplugging energy vampires \u2014 devices such as cable TV boxes and DVD players that use electricity even when turned off. They can account for up to 20 percent of your electric bill, according to Duke Energy, the nation\u2019s largest electric company. Since the federal Energy Information Administration figures the average monthly electric bill to be $111, you could save about $22 a month by unplugging all of your energy vampires.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Shrink Your Monthly Mortgage Payment by Refinancing<\/strong><br \/>\nIf the value of your home has risen since you bought it and interest rates have dropped since you locked in your mortgage rate, you might be able to lower your monthly mortgage payment by refinancing. According to a report by Black Knight Financial Services, 3 million homeowners could save at least $200 a month by refinancing their mortgages at today\u2019s rates, and about 500,000 could save $500 or more each month.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Stop Overpaying on Taxes<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you got a big tax refund this year \u2014 the average was about $3,000 \u2014 that means you\u2019re letting Uncle Sam withhold too much from your paycheck each month. Sure, it\u2019s nice to get a big check every spring, but you\u2019d have more spending money each month if you adjusted your tax withholding so that you\u2019re not overpaying the IRS.<\/p>\n<p>File a new W-4 form with your employer to claim more allowances since the more you claim, the less tax that is withheld. IRS.gov has a withholding calculator you can use to figure out how many allowances to claim. If you received the average refund of $3,000, you should get an extra $250 in your paycheck each month by adjusting your withholding.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gobankingrates.com\/personal-finance\/10-ways-cut-500-off-monthly-bills\/\">GoBankingRates.com<\/a> and was syndicated by the Personal Finance Syndication Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 Ways to Cut $500 Off Your Monthly Bills Surely, you\u2019ve heard the advice to cut out discretionary expenses \u2014 such as a daily latte \u2014 to save money.
