Cell phone between the two of you should be free. I hope what your carrier is do not know. But that should save you some cash. Do not check the voice mail till after your free time begins. If you get a call and miss, but it shows up in missed call just hit the button and call back. Used to work for verizon and that saved customers lots of bucks.
I got rid of HBO on my cable, Sopranos is done. That was $12. Cut some of the premium shows.
DSL is with my phone company so do not know what you are paying. If you have it with Direct TV or cable.
Call the provider up and tell them you are inclined to cut it out and they will make a save attempt and cut your costs there.
It is hard to save today, but what is not necessary goes and what you really need, stays.
Hope I helped you out

The key to saving is reduction and resourfulness. The first thing you should do is clean and organize. You may find things you were planning to buy you forgot you had. How many times have we bought new pens because we keep losing the one's we had? Instead of going out to eat with friends and family have a potluck instead. They are much cheaper and more intimate. Shop thrift stores, many which have brand new things. You help a good cause and save a lot of money. Be creative. Make new things out of old. There are so many things you can reuse that don't take much if any artistic talent. My office and bathroom trashcans are litter box containers. Why leave a light on if you're not home? Does it have to be that cool in your house when you're not home? Get cfl bulbs and turn them off when not in use. Get an adjustable thermostat and set it higher when you're not home. Proper maintenance saves money. Check the oil and tire pressure weekly to make sure they are well filled. Keep your car maintenance records so you know when you are due for repair. Poor car maintenance equals less gas mileage.
