The Thrifty Streamer Take
What this means for your streaming budgetIf you are located in a region where the release isn't happening, or if you're unsure about the viewing window, consider this a perfect time to pause your commitment to Netflix, or whichever service is hosting it. Instead of paying for a service you can't fully enjoy, take advantage of the limited availability by rotating your viewing. Maybe you can commit to the show for a month, and then swap that subscription out for a cheaper, highly-rated documentary service for the next month.
Ultimately, let the hype fuel your watchlist, not your bank account. Use the anticipation to plan your viewing schedule rather than just paying for access. Keep an eye on regional availability before you hit 'subscribe'—your savings depend on it!
