I think that's about it for extras! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2813329 Sat, 31 Mar 2018 11:36:59 +0000 808love 2813329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Trunk club is a bit different. It's like non-shopping. A stylist 'messages' you back and forth online (at first I suspected a bot but it's not) and you can show them your pinterest board or individual pins. It's like chatting with someone and they search the racks for you while you sip champagne (or a juice box). Then you get to veto what they choose before it is sent and more stuff can get added or send as is. I really enjoyed it much more than shopping! It also made me realize what I kind of wanted vs. 'needed' in my wardrobe. Now I won't go shopping to update because I have/will get only what is 'important' through the service. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2813300 Sat, 31 Mar 2018 06:44:47 +0000 looch 2813300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get old school magazines, I read them on my commute when I need to decompress. Runs about $5 a month.</p> <p>Other than that, nothing, I don't like those subscription boxes for things like clothes, I know how to shop for my body type after a lot of practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2813203 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 15:39:18 +0000 Littlebit7 2813203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon prime.

We now live 2 minutes from Target, and I find myself ordering from Amazon less than once a month now. I think if we ditch cable (which I've been dying to do; we don't have time to watch anyway), then I might keep Prime for the occasional show watching opportunity. </p> <p>Has anyone else ditched Prime recently? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2813041 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 08:13:01 +0000 IRunForFun 2813041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: What do you think about datebox?

We also have Spotify which I get at a discount because I signed up as a student when getting my Master's ($4.99/mo).</p> <p>I was gifted a year of BirchBox from my SIL at Christmas and it's fun, but I doubt I'll keep it going when it runs out.</p> <p>Otherwise I've been playing with some of the meal kit delivery services recently by rolling through the promo offers and free meal codes from friends. So far our favorite is Gobble and I've paid full price for one box so far (and will probably keep it up 1-2x a month).</p> <p>We also like to ask for magazine subscriptions as gifts so right now I get Martha Stewart Living and Better Homes and Gardens, and LO gets High Five, but we didn't pay for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2813033 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 07:23:56 +0000 cat620 2813033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a digital subscription to NY Times and my local paper, because I like to keep up with local news as well. My husband subscribes to a couple literary magazines. My son gets High Five, Ranger Rick Jr and Koala Crate for his subscriptions. We don't subscribe to any food services or products beyond the Koala Crate for my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2813020 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 03:57:55 +0000 lamariniere 2813020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I subscribe to the NYT online edition and the New Yorker paper edition, I still love getting the magazine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2813009 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:09:13 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2813009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here are ours!

Now that we are moving to an area where we have a wide range of free babysitters we will probably get moviepass. I need to look into the fine print first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2812986 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 21:20:41 +0000 misolee 2812986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get monthly pedicures as my splurge. Does that count? </p> <p>We only have amazon prime (who doesn’t these days?). We use my brothers account for Netflix on occasion but not really big Netflix watchers. Oh so I’m a big Korean drama fan so I pay a subscription service for that. </p> <p>I used to do a kid monthly subscription box Citrus Lane (now defunct) when my LO was younger. We liked a lot of the stuff that it came with but as time went on, it was just too much stuff every month that turned into clutter. Plus the value wasn’t really there. I kind of want to do Little Passports bc at almost 6, I feel like she would get more out of it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2812981 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 20:51:13 +0000 Hypatia 2812981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was subscribed to Sephora Play, but the samples were tiny and I wasn't loving it. I switched to Boxycharm and I'm so much happier. Full size products and an average value of $100 per box. :heart: </p> <p>I did Blue Apron for a while, but I wasn't crazy about the meal choices, and too often, we'd have to work our schedules around the boxes so they wouldn't go bad. It just felt stressful. </p> <p>I'd like to get DD a Kiwi Crate sub, maybe starting this summer. I'm also going to sign her up for a math app subscription--either Prodigy or Dreambox. We have a free subscription to Mystery Science (video science lessons), so we'll renew that when the trial is over. </p> <p>The only other subscriptions we have are Netflix, Prime, and Audible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2812970 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 20:11:28 +0000 bhbee 2812970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got rocksbox for 6 months as a Christmas gift in 2016. I enjoyed it but was kind of over it by 6 months in. I did get some fun pieces but also kind of talked myself into things that I now don’t wear a lot. That is always my problem with subscriptions! </p> <p>I do love Sephora flash shipping (no minimum purchase) for $10 a year. I love ordering last minute when I run out of something, and not feeling like I need to run to the mall, or ordering something small by itself. I don’t spend as much on makeup anymore but I also love that you can get a nice sized sample (with a wide selection) pretty much anytime you spend $25. Getting a deluxe sample every time makes the $10 totally worth it to me and I often time purchases to get good ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2812965 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 19:43:49 +0000 erinbaderin 2812965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread makes me nervous - these splurge threads always end up costing me a fortune because I get so many ideas of things I need to own from them. </p> <p>I used to have Birchbox but I finally realized that while I got a thrill out of it arriving, I never actually used any of the products. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2812964 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 19:33:56 +0000 LCTBQE 2812964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: great question, I'm always curious what others do! </p> <p>We have Prime, NYT, Spotify, Netflix, HBO, and I just started Filmstruck which is **incredible**. It's like a high-brow Netflix. They have tons and tons of Criterion Collection movies and classics and it's amazing and pretty reasonable. Recommended if you're a movie lover! </p> <p>And I think I'm going to subscribe to the WSJ weekend edition but I keep thinking I should cut back :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-monthly-subscriptions-splurges-do-you-have#post-2812962 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 19:27:04 +0000 Iced Tea 2812962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: hahaha, I guess you have!
