CUT your TV bills! Better yet, get rid of them completely.
Millions of people are spending large amounts of money money streaming every month.
With countless apps to choose from – and mounting monthly bills – it can quickly become financially exhausting.
Fortunately, there are four tricks to help you reduce these monthly costs — and maybe even eliminate them altogether.
TIP #1 – THE FAIL OF 4K
Firstly, make sure you don’t overpay.
This is a big problem: you may be spending money on a plan that is too high-tech for your needs.
For example, you may be unnecessarily paying 50% more on your Netflix bill for the 4K plan.
But if you don’t have a 4K TV or are only watching on your smartphone’s small screen, you’re basically throwing money away.
Switch to the Standard plan and save that money every month.
Go to all your TV apps and ask yourself if you really need the plan you’re paying for.
You may be shelling out for unnecessarily high quality, more screens than you actually need, or channel bundles you never watch.
TIP #2 – MISSED MOBILE OFFERS
Secondly, take a look at your mobile data plan.
Telephone operators often offer discounted – or even free – TV in their plans as a way of attracting customers.
Generally these benefits will appear on your account when you log into your phone plan’s app or website.
And even if it wasn’t there when you signed up, it may have been added later.
So make sure you check – otherwise you could be throwing money away every month.
TIP #3 – CHANGE THESE PLANS
Third, try the exchange method.
This is an absolutely brilliant way to save money every month.
Firstly, you want to cancel all your plans. Yes, all of them.
Then choose a streaming service with several things you want to watch.
Sign up for a month, watch the TV shows and movies, then cancel.
Then switch to another streaming service, record content from that app, and cancel that too.
Do this with four or five apps, and when you go back to the beginning, there will be new content for you to watch.
It solves the big problem of paying for a lot of apps when you actually can’t watch all the content in a month.

AMAZON revealed the first Fire TV Stick in 2014 and has since released several versions, the most recent being the Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
There are several places you can buy a Fire Stick, including:
We recommend buying at the best price, however Amazon usually has the best deals in Fire sticks then it should be your first port of call.
With this method, you only pay for one app at a time. And you can also take advantage of reintroductory offers.
TIP #4 – STREAM FOR FREE
Finally, consider just watching free TV apps.
This is an increasingly tempting option because there are now many apps that offer free access television.
The footprint is that you’ll usually have to watch ads, but some paid plans from Netflix and Amazon already make you do that anyway.
Some great free options include Tubi, The Roku Channel, Amazon Freevee, Plex, and Pluto TV.
See which apps you can download on your devices.
Even the ones I just mentioned will unblock hundreds of channels, plus thousands of TV shows and movies.
You might find that you can ditch those expensive subscriptions altogether and save all that money every month.
