We cut the cord about 1 year ago here in Kansas City area, and just our TV for OTA HD channels. I believe we have 20 of such channels. Saving about $70/mo. We don't miss it, and we do have Internet service for ecommerce, work, games for toddler, news and entertainment, hulu, comedycentral.com, etc.
We don't have landline phone. And, we bailed out of our cell phone contract, and have no monthly cell phone bills for about 1 year now. We went to prepaid cell through Verizon, and we make most of our calls through Gmail call phone. This saves about $150/mo.
All in all, that's about $225/month, or about $2700/year. While that may not be much to some, we feel the added savings adds flexibility to our purchasing habits.
