How to save — quick tips

• Wait for promos (Black Friday and seasonal sales often have the best streaming deals).
• Try free trials or heavily discounted first months and set a reminder to cancel if you don’t want to continue.
• Consider annual plans for services you know you’ll keep — they usually lower the effective monthly cost.
• Only pick bundles if you’ll actually use most of the included services — otherwise single subscriptions can be cheaper.
