Save Money While Watching The Best New Movie's

🎬 How To Binge Watch All The New Releases Without Breaking The Bank

Let’s admit it – with Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Hulu, Max, Apple TV+, Peacock, and Paramount+ on the scene, “just streaming” is now more expensive than the cable package ever was. Spending on 4-5 of these simultaneously? It’s likely you are already spending $60-80/month just for watching movies.

How you can really save on your expenses without sacrificing access to the latest content:

Rotate, not accumulate.
There’s no need to have all of them activated simultaneously. Just choose 1-2 that currently have movies/shows you want to see, subscribe to them, unsubscribe from others, and return to those services when there’s something new there you want to see. Most of these services will allow you to resubscribe easily – you won’t lose your viewing history.
Look for free trials (and actually use them).
Almost all of these still provide 7-day free trial period for new subscribers. If you organize yourself, you can see the new release literally for free – just set the calendar reminder about your upcoming expiration date.

Split a plan in a family/household.
There are services that permit multiple profiles/screens per account. The split of a $20/month plan four ways with roommates, siblings, and friends results in $5 per person – much less than an individual plan.
Review what you already have.

Prime members already have Prime Video service.
Mobile operators (such as T-Mobile and Verizon) provide a free streaming subscription service as part of some plans – you may already pay for a service that you are not utilizing.
Your local library provides free access to Kanopy or Hoopla services with thousands of movies (including new indie/festival titles) absolutely free of charge.

Rent instead of subscribing for a one-time use.
There is only one movie that you wish to watch on the site and nothing else appeals to you, then the rental of the movie for $4-6 via Prime Video, Apple TV, or YouTube is cheaper than the monthly subscription.

Go for matinees or discount days if you still hit the theaters.
Most cinema chains offer a discounted show time (prior to ~4pm), and almost all have a “cheap Tuesday” day (often at half-price compared to regular weekend price). Also, loyalty programs (AMC Stubs, Regal Unlimited, etc.) easily pay for themselves if you visit theaters often.
Establish “streaming budget” and do a review of subscriptions like any other.
We tend to forget that we continue paying for something that we haven’t even opened in two months. Do it once in a quarter and cancel whatever subscription you’ve not used from your bank statement.

None of those things require you to exclude movies from your entertainment life – it only helps to be intentional about when you pay and how much. These small steps will easily add up to $300-$500+ per year saving without you even noticing. 🍿
