Glad I’m not alone! :silly: @Litebrite: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908809 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 21:59:20 +0000 ALV91711 2908809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a good reminder. I’m going to cancel Disney plus and amazon prime for sure. Going to have to see what else could save funds. </p> <p>We only have basic cable and once a year I call to cancel but hey always give me a really good bundle price with internet and phone that makes it cheaper to keep. DH won’t get rid of the land line even though we rarely use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908792 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 19:14:19 +0000 wrkbrk 2908792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noggin also - didn’t mean to even select it but there it was somehow on the bill 😂<br /> We also canceled cable and the newspaper subscription. That was a hard pill to swallow - but neither of us is in a place to read it right now and we need to accept that!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908789 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 18:33:31 +0000 gotkimchi 2908789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Litebrite: I could give up prime but my husband refuses. so annoying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908788 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 18:29:41 +0000 Litebrite 2908788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesnt like subscribe and save. I might give it another try but it was a disaster when I did it a few years ago.</p> <p>@MoonMoon: I'd love to cancel our prime and see what happens. It will be a tough sell to my husband though.</p> <p>@lindseykaye: we are also cleaning up some unused subscriptions, mostly entertainment based. Audible, etc. I'm thinking of canceling FreeTime for the kindles, but haven't decided. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908783 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 17:22:08 +0000 Sams Mom 2908783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just cancelled my cable, but added some subscription services to offset that... Still saving $150 a month there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908781 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 17:16:44 +0000 MoonMoon 2908781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't had Amazon prime for a couple of years and it's great for changing the mindset of always ordering from them. Most things get here in 3-4 days even without prime anyway, so it's not a great loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908780 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 17:01:54 +0000 LCTBQE 2908780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@muffinsmuffins: WSJ also makes it near impossible to cancel, what fuckers. @lindseykaye: sounds like you're good at it, but yeah who needs to manage all that?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908766 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 13:22:26 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2908766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not physical subscription but I had signed up for the NY Times digital a year or two ago as they had a promo for 99 cents per month or something. Then I realized a couple months ago it went to $9.99 and I never have time to read it. Cancelling was a PAIN because you have to literally call them or text them to do it but I’m glad it’s not a waste of money now. Also recently cancelled GoodFood and Crave TV streaming, as well as Audible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908761 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 12:42:22 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2908761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got rid of the mighty fix and fabfitfun (even though I really loved it!). I'm not a huge fan of subscriptions, but the two I had were good. But an additional expense that we don't need right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908757 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 11:41:09 +0000 lindseykaye 2908757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I have been mostly successful over the years managing it month-by-month with a few slip ups, but I needed to seriously clean up and cancel stuff vs. spending so much time every month delaying various subscriptions.<br /> I also spaced out the subscriptions I left on there much farther so there's less of a chance of accidentally getting batteries we don't need. Again.</p> <p>Going to comb through our credit card and bank statements tonight to see if there's anything else to cancel. I have a website I built for a craft business I think I'm paying $5 a month for the domain and another $5 a month for the hosting that I can probably just get rid of at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908752 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 11:00:49 +0000 LCTBQE 2908752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: yes, so much mental clutter.<br /> @lindseykaye: I detest amazon subscribe and save, you never have what you need (diapers, urgently) or you're drowning in excess (two 50-lb bags of dog food, anyone?). It's such a shitty way to save $2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908751 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 10:56:52 +0000 ElbieKay 2908751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beware of subscriptions, mailing lists, loyalty programs and specialized credit cards. They introduce so much noise and complexity and just clutter my mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908750 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 10:56:20 +0000 graceandjoy 2908750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going on maternity leave soon and will be cancelling my Sirius XM! It's only $5 a month but still :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908749 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 10:38:53 +0000 gotkimchi 2908749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had some other amazon subscriptions that we canceled that I don’t even know how they got set up - noggin and something else </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsubscribing-to-save-money#post-2908748 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 10:30:31 +0000 lindseykaye 2908748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have decided that keeping up with delaying various subscriptions that I signed up for with promos or in order to automate savings is taking too much time and I am 'unsubscribing' in an effort to take this task off my mental plate and save money. Too many times recently I accidentally missed delaying a shipment, or canceling an auto-order and wasted money on things I don't need. Below are all the things I previously had set up that I'm canceling. I figured I would ask the boards to see what you all might have set up that you have cancelled recently in case I'm missing anything!</p> <p>Blue Apron<br /> Freshly<br /> Hello Fresh<br /> Marley Spoon<br /> Gobble<br /> Disney Movie Club (3 accidental movies sent recently! Ugh!)<br /> Amazon Subscribe and Save (pared down to the minimum) </p>
