Shut up and take my money!

  • What a world we live in these days. Nothing is affordable. Remember when cans of Spam were like .60¢? Guess how much they tend to be now? Like $7!! Seriously, that's blowing my mind. That alone should be enough proof that you just canNOT live off of minimum wage. If someone is gaslighting you into thinking you can get any ‘ole job and be fine, show them the price of Spam. It's absolutely shocking. 

    So, because of our cruddy economy, we find any way to save a buck or two. Coupons, sales, and worthy subscriptions. A subscription is a whole other ballgame, though, because what if you don't like it? Now you're stuck with a month's supply of it. Would you like to skip the fuss and see if it's worth it before you put your money where your mouth is? Well, AskReddit is here to the rescue! We grabbed some of our favorite subscription suggestions below and we hope you enjoy them too!

    Ksan_of_Tongass. 14 hr. ago I live on an island in Alaska with limited healthcare. An emergency flight to a more capable hospital will cost $50000. For $100 a year I save $49900 if I ever need their services. That $100 covers everyone living under my roof. There is no limit on the number of flights. And seniors pay $75. Of course, the flight isn't a guarantee. Bad weather or the donated jet needing repairs can, and does, prevent you from being flown out.

    Shaydie 14 hr. ago The Great Courses. It's now under the umbrella of Wondrium (and they have a bunch of other stuff, but I look for the GC stuff) They have hundreds of courses. Each one has roughly 26-40 lectures. They're the best professors in the world - the ones that students report as their favorite teachers.

    My boyfriend and I always have four on Thursdays: a science, an art, a philosophy (or wild card) and a history. We've done classes like: botany, the analects of Confucius, The Medici's, the physics of time, early humans and the history of food. I've got a good deal with them at $10/month all I can stream. Great for lifelong learners.

    Pyreknight 12 hr. ago . About 10 years ago, I was member of the nudist resort that was near me. For giggles, I brought in my college ID. About 160 a year for 24 hour access to the resort and grounds. For me it was my country club. Pool, big hot tub, gym, sauna. By my math at the time, all I had to do was visit 5 times a year to pay for it. I was there 2 to 5 times a week. Since it was a very rural area and not much to do, going there saved me money as anything decently worth doing was an hour or

    Joeldg. 13 hr. ago When my ex and I had first moved to New York we bought family memberships to the MET and the Natural History museum during the first week. Seriously, the best decision ever. They have ALL kinds of year-round events and things to do that you can bring family and friends. The MET has a members only rooftop bar and mezzanine, members only music events like we watched the philharmonic play Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" in the Temple of Dendur. Members only

    gallery viewings, curator talks, talks by archaeologists and various things you could volunteer for. It was like having an "In" into the city. The Natural History museum had a monthly "Jazz under the stars" night with free food, drinks and music under the planetarium. I met Bill Nye and Neil Degrasse Tyson (when he was working there) and a bunch of other minor celebrities. These are not expensive memberships either.

    neopolitandynomite · 14 hr. ago YMCA - I pay $70 a month for a family of four and it includes use of the pool, gym, and sauna and up to four hours of childcare a day. I go nearly everyday and have lost 60 pounds over the last six months. It's also my only childcare as a stay at home mom so it keeps me sane.

    bodyknock 15 hr. ago . I can't say for sure if it's "worth every penny", but there have definitely been occasional times my car broke down on the road that I was glad I'm a AAA member! On a side note, back in the day, AAA Trip Tiks were the "Google Map" if you wanted to take a road trip. You could go in, tell the AAA person the trip you were planning to take, and they'd put together a personalized flippable roadmap for you including highlighting expected construction and tolls, etc. Nowadays of

    arrghstrange 15 hr. ago I'm a paramedic, please heed this information. If you live outside of a major city, even if your city's hospital isn't the best, seriously consider purchasing a membership to your closest air medical helicopter company. The cost isn't outrageous and it saves you if you ever need to use it. Helicopter bills are expensive and insurance will leave you out to dry on them. It's in your best interest to inquire about purchasing memberships if they're offered.

    The_Kentwood_Farms 14 hr. ago I have a subscription for air filters for the home. It's one of those things you always forget to replace, then when you see them at the store, you forget what size you need. With the subscription, the correct ones come in the mail, every 3 months, like clockwork.

    Reverse_Psycho_1509 15 hr. ago. edited 3 hr. ago My university makerspace. 3D printing, 3d scanners, laser cutting, sewing machines, cricut machines, vacuum molding, you name it. It doesn't have to be for uni related work. And it's completely free* *95% of the time, the materials are supplied for you. If you want to use your own material, you can (for example, they only supply 3mm plywood for the laser cutter. If you want 5mm, you need to source it yourself)

    redshadow310 15 hr. ago AMC Alist - I pay $26 a month for 3 movies a week. At my preferred theatre tickets for that are already $22, so each movie I seen in a month after the first is essentially free. Probably not worth it some months, but in the summer when I see 5-7 movies a month it's fantastic.

    ambermage 15 hr. ago My wife has several restaurant memberships that she signed up for years ago. She got into them during promotional periods that refunded the membership cost as introductory periods. She paid $25 initially, and they discounted that from the meal. When she signed up.

    They never actually turned on the "charging" aspect, and she gets a lot of free meals given to her throughout the year. They are mostly boutique restaurants, and she gets various perks like priority seating (no wait) and special attendance by management along with the meals being comped.

    BoysenberryNo4959 14 hr. ago . PBS Passport. Local TV shows, award winning documentaries, NOVA, and foreign TV for $5 and NO ads! All other streaming services get more expensive each year and the content is usually crappy reality TV or lame romantic comedies. If you live in the UK, PBS is kind of like our version of the BBC without the licensing fees and we get British imported TV shows.
