If you're like us, you're paying for subscriptions to services you no longer use.
We spent about 30 minutes using an app called Rocket Money to cancel a bunch of subscriptions we no longer use. We saved about $1,235 last year.
It allowed us to cancel subscriptions we didn't need without having to open a bunch of other apps or websites and then figure out how to cancel those respective subscriptions.
You may sign up for a bunch of subscriptions using different credit cards, and then forget to cancel when you no longer use them.

What is Rocket Money?
The
Rocket Money app allows us to see all of our subscriptions, if you live
in the United States. It allowed us to cancel the ones we didn't need
without having to open a bunch of other apps or websites and then figure
out how to unsubscribe.
We unsubscribe from the Hello Fresh meal prep service, saving us $980 a year. We also canceled a $180 fitness app subscription and reduced our $75 Instacart subscription. Rocket Money can also help you discover and cancel subscriptions to streaming services like Netflix that you no longer use or other recurring bills that you have long forgotten about.
The app offers new users a 7-day free trial, enough time for you to cancel your subscriptions, but otherwise it costs between $3 and $12 per month, billed annually, depending on what you need. There are other Rocket Money features like budget tracking and savings tools that can make the monthly fee worth it for you. All I needed was to gather all my subscriptions in one place so I could cancel the ones I wasn't using.
This is what we did.
