THERE are so many streaming services around these days and signing up to them all doesn’t come cheap.

Even if you go for the cheapest monthly options available of the big three – Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime – it’ll cost you more than £260 a year.

But there are some ways to reduce your bill.

Here’s how.

Rotate your streaming services

The good thing about a monthly rolling subscription is you can cancel every 30 days.

Use this to your advantage and subscribe to one streaming service at a time, rather than all of them at once.

Maybe plan it around the release of your favourite show?

Then be sure to watch everything you want to before the month runs out and move onto another streaming service next month.

If you rotated between Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime each month, a year would cost you just over £87, instead of £263.

Plan ahead

A bit of admin can go a long way in making the rotation idea work.

Set calendar reminders when you should cancel and when your month is up.

Some places like Netflix let you cancel anytime and tell you when the 30 days will end.

To help you work out when is best to renew, there are useful apps like JustWatch and ReelGood which tell you where your favourites appear – and can send you alerts when new episodes are available.

Look out for offers

Some streaming providers routinely provide offers that also help keep the cost down.

For example, you can get three months access to Disney+ with your Tesco Clubcard points.

Netflix has a 'secret club' where members can watch extra TV shows and films
Get £150 cashback and 1 year FREE Disney+ with the Samsung Galaxy S22

Occasionally this has been doubled up to provide six months.

So it’s a good idea to keep a look out for deals.
