How To Save Money On Streaming Services Without Missing Your Favorite Shows And Movies
The amount of money the average family spends on tech is staggering when you add it all up. Between phones, laptops and streaming services, tech eats up a big portion of your budget, so it’s important to find ways to make savings.
Finding ways to reduce your cell phone bill is always good, but you should think about the cost of streaming services too. In the past, there was just Netflix and it didn’t cost that much, so it wasn’t really a problem. Now you’ve got Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Hulu, Disney+ and hundreds of others. All of your favorite shows are spread between loads of different services so if you want to watch them all, you end up spending a lot of money. The good news is, you can use these tips and tricks to cut your bill.
Get Rid Of Unnecessary Subscriptions
If you watch a streaming service two or three times a week at least, you’re getting your money’s worth. But if you are still subscribed to a service because there’s that one show you like and they might do another season at some point, you’re wasting money. Remember, you can always subscribe again later on if they do add more things that you want to watch but for now, you should get rid of anything you don’t use very often.
Buy Films With Free Google Credits
Google credits can be used to buy things on the Google Play store, including subscriptions to Youtube Premium, and you can also buy films and TV shows with them. The best thing is, there are ways to get them for free. If you don’t already know how to get free google play money, learn at FrugalRules.com and then start using it to buy films instead of paying for streaming services. You won’t be able to get access to all of the content you want by doing this, but you can still watch some amazing movies and TV shows without spending a penny.
Subscribe On A Rotation
This is a great trick that allows you to watch all of the content you want without having to subscribe to lots of different services at once. The majority of these services allow you to subscribe on a monthly rolling basis, so you can cancel anytime you like. So, sign up to one, watch everything you want to watch, then cancel it and sign up to a different one. You can go back to the first service later on when more content has been added. Check out Makeuseof.com for some great tips on finding out what movies and TV shows are being released on streaming services soon. Then, you can work out what you want to watch and create a schedule, so you only have to pay for one service at a time.
These simple tricks can help you save a lot of money on streaming services without missing your favorite TV shows and movies. It takes a bit of planning, but it’s worth it for the big savings you can make.
