I’m just being nosy really and seeing if we’re excessive. I’m trying to cut down our spending.

This is ours

£17.99 Spotify family
£10.99 Netflix
£8.99 Prime
£7.00 Disney plus
£5.99 BritBox
£13.25 TV licence (although don’t pay monthly)

Thats almost £60 a month, and I’ve just cancelled Acorn and Apple TV+

Just interested to know what other people have

We've only recently signed up for Netflix (£4.99 with ads) and have just been discussing whether we should get rid of the TV licence when it comes up for renewal. We only watch things on iPlayer/catch-up services and now Netflix. I can't believe how many different services people subscribe to 😲 I use Alexa to play music for free, she's learnt what I like so I don't have to skip much and don't get many ads.

You still need a TV licence for iPlayer.

Thank you, and to pp who pointed that out. Looks like we'll be keeping that then.

Sky £118
amazon (about) £7.99
shudder 6.99
britbox 6.99 (I think)
bow tv stick for one of the kids £14.99
”magic” fire stick £60 a year
Netflix is included in my sky
disney and Apple TV is included in my phone contract….
Quite a lot but there are 5 TVs in my house and I have access on all my mobile devices and laptop etc.
I hardly go out so being able to watch a mix of things is my little luxury in life. I also have a chronic illness that can knock me on my ass for months, and all the above comes in handy when I’m bed bound.
I will be downgrading my sky package in October when my contract is up again. The fire stick has everything I need really.
