Raising Three Savvy Ladies

NYC Lifestyle Blog

August 20, 2014 //

The Perfect Gift: Lowest Price Unlimited Plans & A New Phone #Phones4School  #CollectiveBias #shop

Disclosure Collective BiasMaking sure that my daughter has a new phone that works well is a priority for me.  Heading off to middle school is a milestone of independence that will take for some adjusting for me.  However,  if she has a phone, it will give the me the comfort of knowing that we can be connected.  I wanted the best wireless that was also a cheap wireless plan or should I say one that wouldn’t break the bank.  This, to me, is the perfect gift for back to school.

Best Wireless Plan #shop

 

With just a few short weeks before school starts, we headed to Walmart to get a phone for school.  My oldest is now of an age where having a phone can help for safety and the ability to get in touch when plans after school change.

Lowest price Wireless mobile

When we got to the the Electronics department, we found the Walmart Family Mobile display on the header or end cap of the aisle.

We purchased the WFM Alcatel One Touch Fierce ($99.88) – great smartphone under $100 (On Rollback from $129.88).  The was the perfect price for this present and a perfect time of year for a rollback on a needed phone.  Don’t forget the starter kit for only $25 so you will be ready to set up service right away.  And the present for me was that it was only going to be $34.88/month for Unlimited Talk, Text, and Web!  

Alcatel Fierce Walmart Family Mobile #shop

My current cell phone service is through AT & T and we are currently in a contract. I didn’t want to start a contract for my daughter but I wanted to see what an affordable new cell phone service would be able to offer. I didn’t want to put her on my plan until I had gone to Walmart and became savvy on the savings and what exactly it had to offer.  Spending more money for cell phone service is not something I want to be doing right about now so I wanted to explore different options that are available out there.  Having used Walmart Family Mobile in the past, I knew this was going to be the best choice for us.

 

Cheap Wireless Plan Alcatel Fierce #shop

 

The WFM Alcatel One Touch Fierce is going to help with after school activities because every day after school has a different plan and it can be challenging to keep track of it all.  Between CCD, sports and friends, it is necessary for my middle schooler to be able to stay connected with me or my husband.  This way, she has independence and we know where she is.

I love this plan because it is affordable and it enables parent and child to be in touch without the burden of an expensive contract. The calendar helps her remember her schedule and we will be able to text or call to stay in touch.

On the first day of middle school, her backpack will be packed, supplies will be inside and her WFM Alcatel One Touch Fierce will be charged and ready to go.  I know it will be emotional for me and exciting for her.  I will be at ease because  I know that we will be connected at all times.

    I have used their plan and still do, it is great and my oldest girls want their phone now as well. Like your daughter, I think they are ready and would like them to have one for emergencies if they need me

    This is a Great starter phone. This is what my niece should’ve started with instead of a darn iphone!

    My contract is ending soon and I will be checking out Walmart to check out their plan. Great to see an afforadable plan out there.

    I’m not ready for the kids to go back to school! I’m also not ready to admit my kids are growing up and need cell phones. With all of the activities they do after school, having a cellphone is quickly becoming a necessity.

  5. Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? says

    August 22, 2014 at 2:07 pm

    This is a great idea for kids. You hope they don’t lose a phone, but if they do, you don’t have to stress so much about the contract.

    Great phone, and cute backpack! We are almost all prepped and ready as well. Maybe another outfit or two. 🙂

    I have heard so many good things about this cell phone/service. This would be perfect for my boy when he gets a phone!

    I cannot even imagine sending one of my littles to middle school! I know it is coming eventually, so information like this is definitely helpful. Thanks for sharing!

    it’s a great plan and one I have seriously considered for our oldest son.

    I am totally jealous. What a great plan. All of our plans up here are expensive.

    My son started middle school this year. We gave him my old flip phone and added him our family account, but I do love these affordable Walmart plans. If we ever allow,him to have a data plan on his phone, I will definitely consider one.

  13. Liz Mays says

    August 22, 2014 at 11:57 pm

    I’m pretty much through those days, but I totally remember them. I think this phone and plan is the perfect one for kids.

    We love our WFM phone!!

    I’m still raising a baby and a preschooler, but I know it won’t be long before the oldest wants his own phone. I think middle school is a good time to get one, since they will likely be doing after school events and activities.

    My grandson is starting middle school this year. He just seems so young for it to me!

    Those are some great phone plans. My oldest just started first grade, so we have a few years until middle school. I’m sure it will fly by, though!

  18. Angela S says

    An unlimited plan is the way to go, especially with kids. It looks like you found a good option.

    YUP! My Oldest is going into 8th grade. We still have to get the fancy calculator but other than that we’re just enjoying our last week before school starts!

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
