I subscribed to the Encyclopedia Britannica.

It was difficult. I didn’t much mind the $75 annual subscription price, but I spent early 2024 weeding subscriptions out of my wallet — about $1,000 worth annually. Last month, I discovered I could watch March Madness this year for just $32, instead of $72 — I was delighted for days.
