I’ll cut my streaming bills by 56% by 2026 – here’s my five-step master plan

1. Subscribe selectively
Instead of subscribing to multiple streamers at once and watching a few things on each, pause subscriptions until there’s a lot you want to watch on a particular service (jump to our ‘subscription hopping’ guide below).

2. Drop down a level
If you don’t watch a lot of stuff filmed in 4K HDR with surround sound, you don’t really need the Super Mega Ultra tier for that streaming service.

3. Buy a bundle
Some streamers are cheaper if you buy them as part of a bundle – such as a phone contract with bundled streaming or a multi-service package like Apple One.
