Frugal Living Tips

Saving Money with Walmart’s Family Mobile Cheap Wireless Plan!

August 16, 2013

I am a member of the Collective Bias Social Fabric Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client. I shopped at Walmart to find the Best Wireless plan. #FamilyMobileSaves #cbias

The kids are gearing up and getting ready to head back to school and I know that means: added expenses. There’s new school clothes to buy, school supplies, school lunches (I send them with their lunch 99% of the time, but it can still be costly.) I can’t forget about all the extracurricular activities that the new school year brings… sports, scouts, clubs… the list goes on and on.

All this money flying out the window has me thinking about what I can do to trim the budget. You guys already know how frugal I am, using coupons at the grocery store and frequenting thrift shops. But there’s gotta be more, something I’m missing… and I think I know what it is!#shop #FamilyMobileSaves

We spend a heck of a lot of money on our phones every month. And I always manage to go over my data plan…ALWAYS! It’s very frustrating to receive those text messages informing me I’ve used all my MB’s and will now be charged an extra $15. I need a cheap wireless plan and I believe I may have found the one for our family. The Walmart Family Mobile Plan offers unlimited talk & text for just $29.99 a month (add unlimited web for $10 more). I know there are lots of unlimited plans out there, but I’m sure this one is going to save us the most money. There’s no contract, no credit check and no deposit. Best of all (for me, anyways!) no overage charges, Ever! (happy dance!) 

Walmart Family Mobile has a great new smartphone line-up, including the Samsung Galaxy S® 4 and the iPhone. You can view more of my shopping experience on my Google+ photo album.

I decided to start with our oldest, he’s had the same little crummy phone for years now:

I’m so excited to try this program. If everything turns out well, I’m going to switch the entire family over to the Walmart Family Mobile Plan. The money we save will help out with all the expenses we encounter throughout the school year, and we might even have enough for a vacation by the time the school year ends!

So far, I’ve purchased the phone & the $25 starter kit that I need to get started. I signed up online (which activated my Sim Card and got me a new phone number!) Easy-peasy, if I have any questions, customer support is available to me 24/7. My son is pretty hyped about having a new phone & I’m anxious to see how much money we’re gonna save.
