It’s easy to lose track of how much you’re spending on subscriptions. Those small charges add up quickly. Canceling the ones you don’t need can save you some extra cash. Here are ten subscriptions you likely won’t miss if you cancel them.

Streaming Services You Don’t Watch

How many streaming services are you actually using? If one’s just sitting there, cancel it. A lot of people rotate services instead of keeping them all the time. Dropping even one could save you $10–$20 a month.

Meal Kit Deliveries

Meal kits can definitely be convenient, but they’re often overpriced compared to buying ingredients yourself. Most charge $8–$12 per serving, which adds up quickly. If you’re using them for the occasional busy week, that’s fine, but relying on them regularly is an expensive habit. Canceling could save you hundreds over the course of a year.

Cloud Storage You Don’t Need

Many people pay for extra cloud storage without even coming close to using it all. If you’re well under your storage limit, downgrade to a free or cheaper plan. Free options like Google Drive, iCloud, or Dropbox often offer enough space for personal use. There’s no point paying for something you’re not fully using.

Subscription Box Services

Getting a monthly box in the mail is fun, but it’s rarely worth the cost. Most of the time, you’re left with things you didn’t need or want. Canceling these subscriptions helps you save money and avoid extra clutter.

Gym Memberships You Never Use

If you haven’t stepped into the gym in months, stop paying for it. Gym memberships often auto-renew, making it easy to waste money without realizing. If you still want to work out, free YouTube videos or outdoor exercise can be just as effective. Cutting this expense could save $30–$100 a month.

Magazine and Newspaper Subscriptions

With so much free content online, paying for magazines and newspapers isn’t always necessary. If you’re not reading them regularly, cancel and see if you miss them. Public libraries often provide free digital access to many publications. If you still want the occasional issue, buying single copies is cheaper than an ongoing subscription.

Credit Monitoring Services

Plenty of free tools, like Credit Karma and your bank’s credit alerts, can track your credit score. If you’re paying for a credit monitoring service, you might not need it. Unless you have a specific reason—like recovering from identity theft—free options do the job just fine. That’s one less charge on your monthly bill.

Paid Apps with Free Alternatives

Many apps start with free trials and then turn into paid subscriptions without much notice. If you’re paying for an app but not using the premium features, cancel it. There are usually free options that work just as well. Look through your phone’s subscriptions and drop anything unnecessary.

Online Learning Platforms You Don’t Use

Sites like MasterClass, Skillshare, and LinkedIn Learning are great—if you actually use them. But if months go by without logging in, it’s wasted money. Many offer free trials or one-time course purchases instead of a monthly fee. Canceling a forgotten subscription could free up $10–$50 a month.

Audiobook and eBook Subscriptions

If you’re not flying through books every month, paying for an audiobook or eBook service is likely not worth it. Libraries offer free access to thousands of titles through apps like Libby and Hoopla. If you don’t use these subscriptions enough to justify the cost, cancel and switch to free options.

Free Up Cash with Simple Cuts

Subscription services are easy to forget, but they keep charging you month after month. Canceling the ones you don’t use can free up extra cash. A few quick cuts could save you hundreds each year.
