With my monthly streaming bill creeping higher and higher with all these price hikes, I finally said: "Enough is enough." The days of streaming as a cheaper alternative to cable are long gone. All those streaming subscriptions add up quickly, especially when my favorite movies and shows are scattered across a growing number of platforms with intrusive ads that make me want to rip my hair out.
The good news is that you don’t have to cancel everything to lower your monthly bill — though a regular audit of which streaming services you actually use is the best place to start. That's the first step in how I cut my monthly streaming bill down to under $20 a month. After going over everything I was subscribed to (including a few I'd forgotten I'd ever signed up for), I realized I was paying over $70 a month for services I only used once in a blue moon.
