    I have 7 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as an electrician's helper. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. What helped the most?

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

    Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $1000 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.
