Subscriptions as entertainment are usually good value compared with going to a movie theater or show or especially a concert or sporting event. So there is economy built in. If the monthly budget needs tightening a la Sense and Sensibility then maybe limit subscriptions to one per category - one streaming service, one newspaper subscription and so on. Amazon Prime is a cross-category value that checks a lot of boxes at once. I subscribe to several things but I would never ever consider paying Starbucks prices for something I can brew at home for 35 cents.
