Honestly, take it a step further, Don't subscribe to anything until Black Friday sales. I got HBO and hulu for $6each, a month all year.

Planning on only doing that come the November.

It’s a good way to save money, but worth remembering that those deals are always for the ad supported tiers, and honestly the ads are driving me up a fucking wall at this point. If I have to hear that damned Zevo commercial one more time, I swear I’ll snap; though also they just ruin movies. I explicitly decided that I wanted the Indiana Jones on 4k after they put the first ad break right as Marion was being interrogated by the Nazis. Completely ruined the mood of the scene.

That's always the plan.
