$59.85 in monthly charges fell to $18.12 after the author used ChatGPT to review recurring expenses and change three subscriptions.
ChatGPT's recommendations targeted Netflix, Crunchyroll and Experian, suggesting a cheaper ad-supported Netflix tier, Crunchyroll's annual Fan plan and Experian's free option.
Netflix dropped from about $19.99 to $8.99 a month, Crunchyroll from $9.99 to roughly $8.33 monthly on an annual plan, while Experian's $27.21 premium plan was eliminated.
The exercise came after streaming price increases pushed the author to audit recurring spending, and the article presents seven reusable prompts for finding similar savings.
