Frich Reveals: How to lower your bills

We've all seen the 'No Spend July' videos but let's take it one step further - how can we make sure we're not overpaying for bills? Because here's a secret. Every single bill is negotiable & you might just be overpaying!

So before we jump into this week's recap, we wanted to highlight some of the best offers we've seen in a while from our partner Total Wireless!

Alright now let's recap last week's questions!

Would you split a family phone plan with friends to save money?

Who says your chosen family isn't a family? But would you mix your friendship with money? Here's what others said. 40% said that it's not worth the hassle while 30% said it's too risky. So the consensus seems - don't mix friendship with money. And honestly... we kinda agree. Unless you're SUPER close and agree in detail on how you will split the cost to avoid damaging your friendship over something as silly as a phone plan.

Is it embarrassing to be on your parents’ phone plan after 25?

Hehe... so technically the best hack to save money on bills is not to pay them (yourself). But is it embarrassing to still be on your parents' phone plan? Well, people are pretty 50/50 on this one with slightly more people voting that it's not embarrassing at all!

You're the best & you deserve the best! Whether you're searching for the best deal or the best connection - we've found the perfect partner for you. And guess what - they've got some Frich-approved deals going on as we speak!
