💔 Break Up With Your Subscriptions This Valentine's Day

Roses are red, violets are blue, you're paying $274/month for stuff you don't use.

The average American spends $219/month on subscriptions — and underestimates their spending by 2.5x. This Valentine's Day, forget the chocolates. The most romantic thing you can do for your bank account is dump the subscriptions that have been draining it all year.

Here are 10 subscriptions to break up with today, why they deserve it, and exactly how to cancel each one.

1. Planet Fitness — $25/mo

You haven't gone since January 3rd. The annual fee hits next month. End it.

You're watching the same 3 shows on Netflix anyway.

The Math of Breaking Up

If you cancel just 3 of these 10, you'll save roughly $90/month — that's $1,080 a year. Enough for a real Valentine's dinner. Or 216 of them at McDonald's.

The hardest part isn't deciding — it's actually going through with it. Companies like Adobe and SiriusXM make cancellation intentionally difficult ( we ranked the worst offenders). That's why we built cancel guides for 440+ services — step-by-step, with direct links.

💐 One Last Thing

If you're in a relationship, do this together. Subscription audits are the new couple's activity. Nothing says "I love you" like finding $200/month in forgotten charges.
