It’s so easy to forget all your paid memberships and subscriptions. I have the following:
- Groceries - $110
- Costco - $60/yr
- Sams Club - $50/yr
- Streaming - $108
- Amazon Prime - $139/yr - Cancelled 2023
- Netflix - $108/yr
- Disney+ $120/yr - Cancelled 2024
- Utility/Maintenance - $400
- Blink Camera - $30/yr
- Anti-Virus - $70/yr
- Car Wash - $300/yr
- Events - $110
- Gym - $360/yr - Cancelled 2023
- Museum - $165/yr - Cancelled 2023
- Garden - $110/yr
Total Membership Cost per year = $728
Update 2023 - Cancel Amazon Prime
These all add up to several hundred dollars a year and I decided to quit Amazon Prime. The only reason I got it was for free shipping, but I can just bundle my orders to get it anyway.
Update 2023 - Keeping Costco & Sams
I shop infrequently at Costco & Sams Club, but find I make it worth it by getting gas from their cheaper gas stations.
Update 2023 - Keeping Car Washes
My most expensive membership is actually worth it as well for the unlimited free car washes for $240/yr. While it seems like an extravagance, saves me time and keeps my car clean.
After cancelling Amazon Prime, I'm at a reasonable $975..
Update 2023 - Taking Stock of where I can cut...
If push comes to shove, knowing where I can quickly unload expenses is always nice.
I’ll also cancel the Gym and Museum memberships after a year to save another $525. That’ll set me to $450 annual recurring memberships.
Update 2024 - Cancel Disney Plus
I got it to watch some series like Mandalorian and Bad Batch, but after that there isn’t much worth streaming. So I cancelled and will rely on Netflix only.
