More Money Saving Tips
In addition to being your passport to free digital content on Kanopy and Hoopla, you can also borrow physical DVD and Blu-ray copies of movies and TV shows from your local library.
Instead of maintaining multiple subscriptions year-round, consider alternating between paid streaming services based on your current interests.
If you love binge-watching short TV series, try to squeeze your viewing into the streaming service’s free trial period instead of paying for a full month of access.
Check your other memberships and subscriptions for free or discounted streaming benefits. For example, Prime Video is included with Amazon Prime memberships and some cellular providers include free or discounted access to streaming services.
