Cable is a waste

So I already knew that cable is a waste but my 8 year old wants it. So I'm dishing out money that I don't want so she can sit and watch disney channel over and over again. Now the cable company has gotten smart and ask you to sign a contract for a $100 gift card sounds great but you are stuck for 2years now at first I was thinking wow that will pay the cable bill for a month but now I'm not so sure I'm getting a deal.....On another note tonight I made my own laundry detergent smells wonderful can't wait to use it
