Another streaming service account just expired, with no reminder from the company selling it (Apple).

So it's down to zero accounts, which is the right number. We'll subscribe to one service for a month at a time, rotating among them and planning ahead to ensure that multiple-part shows are all there.

And our public library is a fabulous resource for (limited) streaming and DVDs (though Hollywood is trying to make everything pay-per-view).

Conservative estimate of annual savings: >$600.

I haven't given up streaming, but at ~$75/month for two households, each in its own distant town, I'm still paying far less than I was paying for cable. And that was for only one household. Someone, somewhere is losing a fair bit of money on this "experiment". Which, of course, means that we can expect things to change asap. :(

@jrredho If they can find a way to prevent you from saving money, they will.
