A sudden surge in the cost of an optional cost like Netflix might be a tough pill to swallow.
When Was the Last Time Netflix Raised Prices?
If it seems like you just got slammed with a Netflix price hike, it's not your imagination. The last time Netflix raised prices was back in October 2023, when they increased the Premium plan by $3 and the Basic plan by $2.
Oh, don't go looking for the basic plan; Netflix phased it out.
Netflix claims the prices are going up so they can invest in more content and improve the overall streaming experience.
Seriously? Netflix just announced they've added a record 19 million subscribers—the company's biggest-ever increase. Oh, and their quarterly revenue hit $10 billion for the first time ever.

SAVINGS TIP: How Arizona Families Can Save Money with Streaming Services
So, here's an idea: You know how credit card companies hate it when you use their credit card all month and then pay it off at the end of the billing cycle so they can't charge you interest and make money off you?
This is a similar idea.
A friend told me his family subscribes to one or two streaming services. They carefully plan to watch a particular series when it premieres or catch a few streaming movies they want to see. When they're done, they drop the service and subscribe to a different one.
Rinse and repeat.
