Although I don't spend much time surfing channels, I won't pretend I don't enjoy binging on HGTV or the Cooking Channel. When I do get a place of my own, I want to spend no more than $100 per month on cable and streaming services. Mind you, that's not counting the cost of a TV and Roku 3 streaming device. And since the key to saving money is often some careful forethought, I've already started planning. Here's what I have learned so far.

(If you are just wanting basic TV I recommend the Standard Digital receiver.). Suddenlink offers three tiers. You can chose the Family Tier, Movie Tier, or Sports Tier. Family Tier has the most channels out of the three tiers and the most variety.

1 Greater flexibility: Unlike most cable companies, streaming services offer the ability to sign up and cancel without termination fees. 2  For less than $10 per month, I could sign up for Hulu Plus or Netflix, browse what they have to offer, and if I don't like it, I can cancel.

If you want an additional tier you just pay an additional $6 per month for the additional tier. If I were you I would get the Value Link Gold and rent a digital receiver. That all together is $96.98 per month excluding taxes and plus it gives you more channels.

2. Decide what level of coverage you want. If you want the cheapest possible package, you will certainly want to choose the “basic” package. If you want a larger number of channels for a relatively small monthly price, you may want to look into a “standard” package. 1  When choosing, be specific in the needs that you and your family or household has.
