Nobody seems to have talked about using Opera mini. The app saves data like hell.

they can also use data sense . The beauty of Data Sense is
that you can set up and
customize the app to meet
your specific requirements.
You might be on plan that
gives you 500 MB per
month or you might have
an unlimited plan, it
doesn’t matter since Data
Sense will still help you.
The first time you launch
the Data Sense app you’ll
be asked to set a data limit.
You can do this at any time
if you skip it initially, and
you can edit the
information you enter
whenever you want.
Though keep in mind,
skipping this step will make
Data Sense assume you
have an unlimited plan.

skipping this step will make
Data Sense assume you
have an unlimited plan.
You have a few options for
selecting a limit in the Data
Sense app.
None specific – Will
help you conserve
cellular data, but Data
Sense can do more if you
enter your data limit.
One time – This is useful
for those on prepaid
plans. Select this option
to enter the remaining
days until your data
expires and the amount
of available data. Data
Sense will notify you
when you approach your
limit.
Monthly – This is for
those on contracts who
have a given amount of
data that they must use
within the month. You
can select which day of
the month your data
resets and how much
data you’re allowed to
use in that month. Like
the above option, Data
Sense will notify you
when you approach your
limit.
Unlimited – This is for
those who truly do have
unlimited data. Most
data will go over your
cellular connection, but
Data Sense will still keep
track of how much data
you and your apps are
using.
It’s very important for you
to select either the one
time or monthly option if
you fit into those
situations. Data Sense will
help control the amount of
data your apps use in the
background. For example,
if you have a limited
amount of cellular data,
Windows Phone 8.1 and
Data Sense will save
certain downloads and
background activities for
when you’re connected to a
Wi-Fi network. Look for a
shield icon over the Live
tile for Data Sense on your
Start screen.
Pro tip: Pin Data Sense
to your Start screen, as
the app has a Live Tile
that reveals your current
usage
Through the app, you’ll see
the number of days and
amount of data remaining
if you have a one time or
monthly limit set. Do you
have an unlimited data
plan or didn’t specify a
limit? The Data Sense app
will still show your cellular
and Wi-Fi data use over the
past 30 days. The Live tile
for Data Sense will also
keep all this information
surfaced on your Start
screen if you pin it, which
is why we highly
recommend doing it.

With UCBrowser you can still view your instagram. So you might consider deleting instagram app and view it using UC browser to save data.

In addition, use Glo data plan.
Though the Internet service can be a pain but it's affordablely economical cos Glo allows you to carry over any unused data.
Let's say I buy a 4.5gig data plan for N2500 for 30 days. What you do is, b4 the expiry date, let's say a day to it, subscribe for a N1000 plan which gives just 300mb for 30 days. Now, you have extral 30 days.
This is very affordable because I've tried the Internet service of all other GSM operators and Glo data consumption rate is the slowest- Airtel is the highest.
I use 4 gig for 3 weeks on Airtel, I use 2gig for 3weeks on Etisalat, 2 gig for 3 weeks on mtn but Glo, I use 2 gig for 4 weeks.
And ur recharge also comes with some bonus airtime to call ANY network in Nigeria.
Note: I don't stream videos. I just download music and apps
