Matt found $96 a year hiding in one subscription. Not a big bill. Just one he'd signed up for the pricier way. Here's how he saved $96 a year on YouTube Premium.

Most of us have a few of those. A streaming service from lockdown. An app trial that rolled over. Cloud storage for photos you never look at.

Grab your bank statement and give it two minutes. Your list stays on this device, so a refresh won't wipe it.

What you could trim

Anything marked Barely or Forgot: you could free up about $0 a year.

  • Rotate streaming services month to month instead of paying for all at once.
  • Check for family or bundle plans.
  • Cancel free trials before they roll over.
  • Check your bank statement for the ones not on this list.

This is a rough guide only, based on published Australian averages. It isn't financial advice or a quote. Your actual saving depends on your plan, usage and provider. For a real check, a person can review your actual bills.

a few quick tips

  • Rotate, don't stack. Watch one streaming service for a month, then swap.
  • Check family and bundle plans. One shared plan can beat two single ones.
  • Cancel free trials early. Set a reminder the day you sign up.
  • Watch the sign-up deals. Some come with a catch later. Here's how sign-up bonuses can bite.
