So I try to "clean up" my ticky tac expenses every so often. This can be annual credit card fee cards, streaming services, etc.
Amazon has pushed my limits this year. I'm going to detox their many services and look at alternatives. I cut prime which as we all know went up. The add-ons are what they don't tell you about.
DW used Kindle services for another $12/mo. She said she could use the local library download service for free.
The straw that pushed me over was the Prime music. Don't get me wrong, I used it more than most, but every time you open the app, you had to decline the "upgraded" music for another $9/mo. If you fat-finger your phone, bam! It got you.
So I went to Spotify (free version) & local public station app with great music and will continue to shop Amazon (although I noticed they're not competing on price much anymore). I feel great about cutting the Amazon cord & cutting out $$ & more importantly the frustration of their app...
Anyone else cleaning up your life? I'll be doing at least one CC soon too.
