Save some Green with Walmart Family Mobile

Green is my favorite color, so it should be no surprise that St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. I especially love seeing everyone wearing green! We always make a fun treats for the holiday. This year we made some cute 4 leaf clover rice crispy treats. It is the perfect treat to make with kids and not break the bank at the same time!

Another way we would like to save you some green this St. Patrick’s Day is with Walmart Family Mobile. Walmart Family Mobile has amazing plans that include unlimited text, unlimited talk, and data and they just came out with a new plan for only $29.88 a month! Yes, unlimited text, talk and data for less than $30 a month! Another reason we love Walmart Family Mobile is there is no annual contract, no overages, and it is a postpaid plan. With the new 4G LTE the network spans to cover more than 280 million people nationwide, so you are covered regardless of where you are in the country! It is the perfect time to switch over to Walmart Family Mobile and save some green.

My little one and I stopped by Walmart to see the selection of new phones and sign up for the Walmart Family Mobile 4G LTE service. There was a wide selection of cell phones, as well as cell phone accessories. Everything from speakers, headphones, charging stations, family mobile phone plans phone protectors and so much more. Walmart has you covered for all of your mobile device needs.

The phone that was a perfect fit for me was the Alcatel Evolve 2 Smartphone, it was on sale for $39.99, down from $59.99. Because the price was so incredible I was able to use that extra green I saved on a cute phone case. It was very easy to find, just look for the lowest priced 4G LTE plans with Walmart Family Mobile. After I had my phone I picked up the starter kit and had the friendly mobile experts at Walmart set it all up for me. It only took minutes and I was able to walk out of Walmart with my new phone, and on the lowest priced plan on any 4G network. I enjoyed the rest of my day playing with my new Evolve 2 smartphone on the 4G LTE network, it was hard to put it down!

The Walmart Family Mobile plans start at $24.88 a month for unlimited talk and unlimited text. The new plan is $29.88 for unlimited talk, text and data which includes up to 500MG of 4G LTE data. The other new plan is $39.88 for unlimited talk, text, and web and includes up to 2.5GB of 4G LTE data. Why Walmart Family Mobile is perfect for your family? You may add lines for $5 less per line you add. You may also mix and match up to 5 lines, choosing any combination of unlimited talk and text, and unlimited stalk, text, and web plans all on the same account. It is perfect for any parent who needs to give their child (generally teenagers) an unlimited plan, but doesn’t need unlimited for themselves. If this service fits perfectly for your family but you already have a phone, not to worry you may use your own unlocked compatible phone. Another perk to mention you may purchase the starter kit and activate at your own home, you only need to have internet access. Disclaimer: All prices for phones and plans included in this post are accurate as of the date of posting; however, these prices are subject to change. Please refer to http://cbi.as/aafid or your local Walmart for current pricing.

I’ve shared ways to save some green tips with you. I’d love to hear about yours! Leave a comment below on what you would spend your extra green on!
