I received this email today from Verizon:
I got the same notice today. Not surprised, I read a couple of days ago that AT&T had announced a price increase of similar magnitude. I have no idea why it will be a separate charge.

I don't know their base price, but $12 per plan increase sounds like a lot!
DW and I use Consumer Cellular and pay about $50 for the two of us. YMMV

Locally if you ignore the bill they just assume you no longer have a pet.

Important Note: Verizon is hiking its prices with a new administrative fee in June 2022. If you’re currently on a Verizon plan and want to stay on its network, you can still avoid the price hikes by switching to one of the MVNOs below that runs on the same towers. You’ll find access to the same great network at great rates that not only help you avoid a bill increase but save each month over what you’re currently paying!
Our plan was $77 for 2 lines, so $12 is a bit over 15%. The price has been falling for a number of years, so it’s difficult to average out the $12, but it’s a big increpase and there are options. Consumer Cell is one, T Mobile another. I’ll start looking at options over the next couple of days.

8 pack of 12 oz. Sodas is now $6.99. It keeps going up as the regular price. We wait for sales and we scored 4 8 packs for $12 which comes out to $3 per 8 pack. I told DW if they can be on sale every couple weeks they could sell them at a lower price all the time. Some of this just doesn’t make sense. I drink 1 every few days and DW drinks a Dr Pepper over a couple of days so it’s not hard to hold out and it’s one of our small indulgences.
Heh, heh, speaking of which, our bill just caught up with us (we paid ahead just to be certain.) We used 82 KWh and our charges (all 9 of them) come out to almost $45 which averages to almost 55 cents per KWh. Of course, a lot of the bill is not specifically charge/KWh.
So, the less we use, the more we pay per KWh (on average.) Next month should be even worse (better??) as we will have been gone the full month. The faster I run, the further I get behind.
YMMV
My pet peeve are eggs. WTH!! A dozen large eggs are not supposes to be almost 4 bucks
Right. At Costco, you can get the whole damn chicken for $5
Apparently, they acquired the cat information from our vet because I use a different name there and that's who they addressed the letter to. The city had a record of the rabies vaccine from our vet. I suppose if I stopped vaccinating my cat, the city would never know I had a pet, but I couldn't do that to my orange and white piece of fluff.
Can you tell them, "Here's $5. I will take a live chicken and save you the hassle of cooking it"?
The chicken will pay you back in eggs in 2 weeks, after that it's pure profit.
Easysurfer can make an investment of $10 for 2 chicken, and be able to continue his 2-egg breakfast.
I dunno about making bread, but my wife does. It turns out that you don't save that much money with bread. I guess the stores buy flour in bulk, plus they make a lot in their big oven and that's more efficient.
#1 daughter thought she would do that. She raised chicks almost to adulthood until the neighborhood dogs tore into their pen and ate them. So much for counting your chicks before they are grown, I guess. YMMV
Should have bought chickens and a shotgun imo.
Heh, heh, the neighborhood strays would hardly have been worth eating.
admin fees are some of the most bogus fees ever. They just do it because they can. Pure profit for these companies. That is why we dumped paid tv nearly 23 years ago. AM radio is still free and if we want to watch tv there is PLUTOTV or ROKUTV or internet archive all free as long as you have internet. Of course internet has plenty of fees as well our windstream internet has several federal fees and some state and city fees, no admin fees that i can see, but i suppose eventually some big wig Windstream executive will have the brilliant idea to tack one on.
Yeah, I recently mentioned my latest electric bill - there were 9 individual entries and only one of them reflected our actual usage. YMMV
We're pork loin roasts always cheap? $2.11/lb seems like a good deal for protein.
