1. Subscribe selectively
Instead of subscribing to multiple streamers at once and watching a few things on each, pause subscriptions until there's a lot you want to see on one particular service (jump to our 'subscription hopping' guide below).
2. Drop down a tier
If you're not watching lots of things filmed in 4K HDR with spatial audio, you don't really need the Super Mega Ultra tier for that streaming service.
3. Buy a bundle
Some streamers are cheaper if you buy them as part of a bundle – such as a phone contract with bundled streaming or a multi-service package like Apple One.
Streaming is a bit different from the days when all you needed was a single Netflix subscription. To watch all the big shows and movies today you need to have a big budget to accommodate the cost of not just Netflix but Disney+/Hulu, HBO Max or Now TV, Paramount+ and Apple TV and Prime Video and more.
