Soo recently I began going over my monthly statements on my debit card with Capital One and began noticing certain monthly bills that are on auto-pay slowly increasing. At first I thought nothing of it but then began doing the Math and the cents were adding up fast. After a good 2 hours of reviewing my monthly subscriptions and autopay, I was able to Cancel 4 subscriptions, downgrade my internet that automatically renewed and on its own and in the end managed to save over 76 dollars a month. That's a total of $912 dollars a year I was pretty much giving away to services I don't use. Are you on top of your monthly finances? Hope this post helps someone save a few bucks!

I always check to be sure that nothing I do not want is debited automatically. We cancelled the "free calls all over the world" option for our landline phone and the price of the Internet connection plus phone went down $20 a month. We only kept free calls to Switzerland and Europe.

That’s great! I don’t have any subscriptions myself, but it is time to call my cable/internet company to talk my bill down. Thank you for the reminder!
