I use Visible and Tello for phone lines. Have 5 iPhones and pay less than $100/mo.
Buy store brands. A lot of times store brand is cheaper than name brand in bulk at Sam’s/costco.
Buy reliable used cars in cash and learn how to do some auto maintenance yourself.
There are high end thrift stores where you can find barely used quality clothes. Rich people often where them once or twice and then get rid of them.
Date nights in the middle of the week. Lots of places have specials.

Re phones, I also have Tello and it's great! I pay <$10 for my phone because I don't use much data.
There are better options if you use more data though, such as Mint or Google Fi (Google Fi for family plans where you expect to travel internationally).
Visible is pretty great. I don't really have any issues with it. I pay $25/month. Spouse has upgraded Visible plan of $45/mo and an Apple Watch $5/mo. My 3 kids have Tello $9 plans which gives the unlimited text/talk and 500MB of data. That's just enough to track their locations, Otherwise they tether for free on our phones. Everyone has an iPhone.
25+45+5+3x9 = $102 all in. No additional fees or taxes.
