Utilities

According to Move.org, the average cost of essential utilities per month in the U.S. is at least $290.79. Of course, this cost varies by U.S. region. Did you know that for those who are eligible for service discounts, this cost may be significantly reduced? Many utilities provide low-income, senior, disabled, and other discounts. Water discounts are often available through the Customer Assistance Program (CAP). Discounted landlines and even free cell phones and services with data may be available free of cost for those who are eligible. For those who are eligible, the Internet may be accessed at extremely reduced prices, and one may even find free streaming services to replace high-cost cable bills. This section details the myriad service discounts one may find and apply for to start saving significant money on bills. A helpful site to get started on finding discounts is USA.gov.
