Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

Thanks for the reminder to cancel Disney+ and HBO Max - I almost forgot! ;)

Still have Peacock, because that's comped through my mobile provider.

My wife does Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu. I had Prime but realized I only ever used it for free shipping, which I can get anyway by bundling my orders and setting ship dates.

Bundling orders and set ship dates - what? This is something I don't know about.

Even without Prime, you can get free shipping if you spend over a certain amount.

So instead of placing multiple small orders and paying shipping, I'll wait until the combined dollar value qualifies for free shipping.

Also on check out, you can specify a delivery date with free shipping.

And then everything comes in separate packages with different parcel services anyway... Amazon really has become shit.
