Kick your cable habit and make the move to Netflix. With thousands of movies and television shows, including a robust selection of programming for kids, it’s a bargain at only $8 a month, a definite savings over the average monthly cable bill of $86 (this and all pricing here as of end of 2012). You aren’t limited to just watching programs on your smartphone or tablet, either -- if you’re using an iPhone or iPad, you can watch them on your television using the optional HDMI adapter.
