If you've cut the cord in favor of streaming, you may think you've made a smart financial decision. But as the costs and complexities of streaming rise, you might want to recalculate how much you're actually spending each month to watch all your favorite shows at your convenience.

"For a lot of people trying to get what they used to get with a traditional TV package, the price [for several streaming services] has gotten much much closer to what they were complaining about a couple of years ago."
But there are ways to save. In fact, Wilcox recently wrote a Consumer Reports article outlining how you can get a comprehensive selection of TV shows and movies for less than $25 a month.
