Lowering Bills at home

I called the phone company about putting our phone in vacation mode. Most states will allow you to do this. It drops the cost and you have your phone and phone number ready for you when you get back. Oregon does not allow phones to go on vacation. So I am canceling service for both lines. I have a line just for the computer. So there will be no phone bill while we are gone. But we will have to re-connect when we get back, a $25. hook-up fee and we may have to get a new number.
I also have dish for my TV. I called them and because I have a contract I can't put it on pause. But I can drop all extra programs which will drop that cost to $25.00.
So the only bills I will have while we are gone are electric and dish. Shouldn't ever be more than $100. a month.
