What I'm about to tell you…

It just may shock you.

Everyone knows I’ve been super fanatical about saving money for our RTW trip, and even though that specific plan might now be placed on the backburner, I’m not about to go and blow all the dough I’ve saved on some shopping spree. Oh, no, I still have travelling to do with that money. I am still super-money-conscious Brooke.

Our site has gotten away from us recently, and in an attempt to regain the old pre-trip funding character we loved, I’m going to share a little tip that might help speed that whole saving process up for you all — how to give up cable TV.

*GASP!* Give up cable TV, are you nuts?!

Yes, I am.

But, besides that fact, there’s something else you must know. Way back when we were a couple of “wet behind the ears” RTW trip savers, we thought that subscribing to a DVD-in-the-mail service was the way to go – only a couple bucks a month for many, many movies. However, I’m not so sure anymore. We cancelled that back in April as we just couldn’t take watching anymore bad movies. No, you no longer have to spend more money a month just to watch B-class movies while you countdown to take-off. I give you:

Hundreds of TV shows, multiple seasons, all at your finger tips, 24/7. Love the Sopranos, but don’t have HBO? No sweat! Want to relive your childhood with shows like, “Salute Your Shorts,” “You can’t do that on television,” and “The Secret World of Alex Mack”? You got it! I hope you all enjoy this little morsel of television goodness. I know I do. :-)
