Subscribe to MONEY Magazine I’m embarrassed to admit this, but my family spends WAY too much on our cable bill each month. We researched cutting the cord, but the alternatives didn’t seem to include this one international channel that we like. So we’ll hang onto our fancy package, at least for now. But I’d love to spend less on it, so I’m going to try Trim -- a new web site that, among other services, negotiates your cable bill for you (for a cut of the savings). MONEY staffers road-tested Trim and other apps that can save you money. Read more about them in today’s edition. Because when you’re saving for retirement, every little bit helps.
