yeah you read that right. my wife cancelled our bell fibe back in september without telling me

first. came home from work and she was sitting at the kitchen table with her laptop open and

our last twelve months of bank statements printed out with every tv expense highlighted in

yellow. classic move.

her math was brutal. bell fibe sports package, crave for hbo stuff, netflix, disney plus for the

kids. hundred and seventy bucks a month. she looked at me and said thats over two

thousand a year so we can watch channels we dont even know exist. i had zero comeback

honestly.

first couple weeks were painful. tried watching hockey through whatever free iptv canada

streams i could find and it was like watching the game through a window during a

snowstorm. my father in law offered to let me come watch at his place every saturday which

was nice but also meant driving forty minutes to mississauga and pretending to enjoy his

cooking

then a buddy from my hockey league mentioned he ditched rogers a year ago for some

streaming setup and hasnt looked back. spent about three weeks reading everything before

committing because if i waste money on tv again my wife actually files for divorce

for sport: NEXOMIR . COM

first leafs game without bell i was genuinely stressed. put it on and the picture was cleaner

than what id been getting through fibe for years. nearly woke the kids up celebrating. tsn and

sportsnet feeds come through solid, raptors on weekends smooth, nhl playoffs in 4k ran

without a single hiccup. even the cfl works which i didnt expect. had the boys over for a

playoff game and nobody could tell it wasnt cable. best canada iptv for hockey hands down.

for films and family: VISSOLOTV . COM

this turned my wife from enemy to biggest fan overnight. found all her french series within

the first evening. kids have unlimited cartoons sorted by age. new movies show up faster

than they ever did on crave. my mother in law found her indian cooking shows and now she

doesnt want to leave when she visits which is a whole other problem.

2. the damage report

● before: bell + crave + netflix + disney = $170/month

● now: fraction of that

● annual saving: fourteen hundred dollars give or take my wife has a spreadsheet obviously. shes already booked a cottage in muskoka for august

with the savings from the first six months. she told me yesterday this was the best financial

decision shes ever made. i didnt point out that technically she made it without my

permission.

verdict after seven months

no iptv canada service is perfect and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

but after trying a bunch that all died the same way these two actually held up. nexomir

handles every sport i care about and vissolo tv keeps the rest of the household happy.

the canadian market has come a long way from the sketchy telegram stuff. if youre still

paying bell or rogers prices and your wife hasnt staged an intervention yet just do your

research and make the jump.

anyone else got a spouse who was smarter about cutting cable than they were? cant be just

me.

I feel like a lot of the grocery savings tips I find are either outdated or don't account for how much things have shifted. Price matching still works but it takes more effort now because price gaps between the big chains have shrunk. Coupons barely exist for things I actually buy. I already go store brand on basically everything. I have decent access to markets, a few discount stores, and all the main chains. I know some people on here have this dialled in really well, whether it's specific stores, specific timing, programs that are actually worth using, or habits that have moved their grocery cost per month.
