It’s the most wonderful time of the year<\/em>! \u00a0Imagine me singing that, on second thought, maybe you shouldn’t. However, I’m\u00a0sure many were\u00a0singing a similar tune when they\u00a0received their\u00a0tax refund check\u00a0this year. \u00a0If you are like me with a family, home and busy life, that money is very welcome. \u00a0I am a very big saver and I like to get the most bang for my buck on what I do spend. \u00a0I guess you could say, I like to see just how much I can save when buying the things we need. \u00a0I really scored big in that department this year, I want to share my story with you and hopefully help you #MaxYourTax return this year.<\/p>\n

Cell phone plans can be so expensive, especially when your kids get to the age that they all need a phone and plan. \u00a0It can easily get way out of hand for most families. \u00a0We have a family of 7 and 5 of us all have smartphones so it can be hard to find something affordable. \u00a0I can hardly believe my\u00a04th child is\u00a0going to be joining the phone carrying crew and so I started to scout out options. \u00a0I mean I want something affordable and a phone that is not going to cost $600!<\/p>\n

While at Walmart picking up some essentials, I happened to notice the Walmart Family Mobile<\/strong> service has the lowest priced unlimited plans, just\u00a0$29.88 a month for the first line. \u00a0That is for unlimited talk, text\/data service which includes up to 500MB of 4G LTE data \u00a0What a deal! \u00a0This is perfect for him and it definitely lets me maximize my tax refund!<\/p>\n

I was able to pick up the\u00a0Samsung Galaxy Avant and starter kit for just $149 for the phone and $25 for the starter kit.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

While picking that out I noticed\u00a0ZTE Zinger was marked down in price to \u00a0$19.84 from the original price of $39.88, that is a great way to really get value for your tax dollars.<\/p>\n

You know since I was able to save so much on the phone and service, I have some extra tax return money to put toward something else. \u00a0Maybe toward creating an even bigger butterfly garden. \u00a0Can you tell I am sick of snow and looking forward to spring? \u00a0I would love for you to share with me how you plan to #MaxYourTax this year. \u00a0Please share your best ways to do that in the comments. \u00a0I love to read your great ideas.<\/p>\n
