“We Save a Ton”

By Brad

From the comments thread of the delightfully named Mashup Mom (“Money Saving Strategies for moms… and everyone else!”), which posted about our Top 10 broadband savings report released yesterday:

Kristy says:

Just the access to blogs like yours to find the best grocery deals has cut our food/grocery budget in half. We save a ton by keeping up with family and friends through e-mail, skype, and facebook rather than through post mail and long distance telephone calls. Access to research materials and online banking save me countless hours that I can put into other money saving ventures. I don’t think it’s $8,000 a year, but broadband internet access is definitely a good value for our household.

Chrystal says:

Planning my shopping trip with research online is a gas saver. No more running around town searching for the best deals.
