Like many expenses these days, streaming costs are rising. Netflix recently announced a price hike that, as someone who has yet to watch Squid Game Seasons 2, I have no choice but to roll with. But the last thing I want to do is lose money on subscriptions I’m not even using.In a CNET survey, almost half (48%) of respondents said they’ve forgotten to cancel a subscription, such as a streaming service, gym membership or grocery service. As a result, they’re paying an average of $91 a month for things they don’t need or want.Fortunately, budgeting app Rocket Money can help you find unwanted subscriptions and cancel them for you. I tested it out, and how much it saved me blew my mind. Buy at Rocket Money Don’t like

How Rocket Money saved me $400-plus in 15 minutesRocket Money is a budgeting app that monitors your income and expenses, helps you set savings goals and tracks all your subscriptions in one place, whether you use the free or paid version. It’s also my pick for the best Mint replacement app and recently won CNET’s Editors’ Choice award. Rocket Money’s paid version — which costs $6 to $12 a month — can also find and cancel some subscriptions for you.You can try this service by navigating to the Recurring tab on the app menu.

The app asked for some basic information — including my name, billing address and the reason I wanted to cancel — and then confirmed that they were working on it.The process was fairly painless, but I have one complaint. I didn’t know until after I’d submitted my cancellation request that it could take two to seven days for Rocket Money to complete the cancellation — I found out from the popup confirmation I received after submitting. Fortunately, I was able to respond quickly to the email confirmation Rocket sent me, and I received a response within minutes from a customer support rep who said they’d fast-track my cancellation. The next business day, my subscription was cancelled.I was hooked. What else was I spending money on without realizing it? I reviewed my other subscriptions, and identified a handful I no longer needed:HP Instant Ink: $4.34 per month (for a printer I don’t even have anymore)New York Times Digital: $4 per month (the number of free articles I
