Streaming Services: How to Cut Down Costs

Welcome back, Smart Ass Savers! Today, we’re tackling how to save on one of our favorite modern-day conveniences: streaming services. With so many platforms and shows available, it’s easy for costs to spiral out of control. Here are some savvy tips to help you cut down on your streaming expenses.

  1. Audit your subscriptions: Take a close look at your credit card statement or bank account to see how many streaming services you’re paying for. If there are platforms you haven’t used in a while, cancel them to save money.

  2. Opt for annual subscriptions: Many streaming services offer significant discounts for annual subscriptions. If you’re committed to a particular service, this can be a great way to save.

  3. Leverage multiple email addresses: If your household has multiple email addresses, use them to take advantage of first-time customer offers. This can often cut your costs in half.

  4. Time Your Subscriptions: Instead of paying for a whole year, subscribe only when your favorite shows are airing. This way, you’re only paying for the time you actually use the service.

  5. Bundle with existing subscriptions: Check if you already have access to streaming services through existing subscriptions like Amazon Prime or Walmart+. These often include streaming options at no or very little additional cost.

While streaming services can be pricey, these strategies can help you reduce your bill and keep your entertainment budget in check. Happy saving!
